I’ve entered p4 exam last Dec 2011 & didn’t clear the exam(fail)
& I ask if there’s any changes on the P4 syllabus, as I just have materials valid to Dec 2011 exams
Thanks for helpJanuary 14, 2013 at 8:04 am #113255I have much the same problem. I purchased P4 study material in 2011 and did not write then or in 2012. Has the syllabus changed for the June 2013 sitting?
Do I need to purchase new study materials?
January 18, 2013 at 7:08 am #113837There is a change in the Exam setting for June 2013 which you need to be aware of.
Qn 1 will be 50 Marks and the other three Qns will be for 25 marks each.January 22, 2013 at 12:14 am #114214Dear beyagala
thanks for reply
but we ask about changes on the syllabus (Islamic finance, …etc)January 24, 2013 at 6:31 pm #114325I have found the answer to our question about changes in the syllabus at https://www.accaglobal.com/content/dam/acca/global/PDF-students/acca/p4/studyguides/p4-Syll%20and%20SG%202013.pdf.
Go to page 13 where a summary of the changes to the syllabus are described.
Looking at the changes shown here I think that I will have to buy the new study guide and revision kit. It doesn’t look like one should use the older material any longer.January 29, 2013 at 11:00 am #114451I think the only changes (comparing with June 2011) are the area of “Developments in Islamic finance”
any keep in touch as we can buy the EWP (text & revision) e-book
& we can share our materialsJanuary 29, 2013 at 7:41 pm #114465My lecturer from Kaplan, Singapore
The lecture and revision notes from Dec2012 can be used for self study with the following syllabus changes:
– addition of Islamic finance
– removal of portfolio theory 2-asset formula
– In your lecture ‘Treasury function’ is removed from P4 and is now assumed knowledge for F9.Exam structure changes:
Section A – one compulsory question 50 marks
Section B – choose 2 out of 3 questions each worth 25 marksRaymond, singapore

– Single period and multi-period capital rationing
– Risk adjusted discount rates

Er, sorry, examples 4 and 5 of chapter 9 ‘Portfolio Theory’. If so, I presume then the section on ‘Covariance’ is also no longer applicable? Cheers.
April 7, 2013 at 10:20 am #121717thanks
April 7, 2013 at 4:30 pm #121845my lecturer from Kaplan comment that Portfolio theory is not examinable. Hurray.
islamic finance may be tested on section A talking about source of finance and its benefits and limitation.
April 20, 2013 at 8:45 pm #123037I bought the last yr textbook… Can anyone using BPP textbook share Islamic finance that new chapter to me? I don’t want to buy another textbook again… 🙁
April 22, 2013 at 9:07 pm #123289Buddy where can i find notes on Islamic Financing ?
Can anybody please share them for us.. ThanksApril 22, 2013 at 9:37 pm #123296Islamic Finance- Shouldnt the OT the notes and the technical article cover the basics of this topic?
April 25, 2013 at 3:47 am #123451I think technical article will give sufficient knowledge of Islamic Finance
https://www.accaglobal.com/content/dam/acca/global/PDF-students/2012s/sa_feb13_p4_islamic.pdf
together with OT notes.
April 27, 2013 at 3:39 pm #123675Thanks for the link dear.. I guess SA Article is enough to hav clear understanding of Islamic Finance..
