Hi ,
I have looked at the syllabus for f9 2013,
ACCA have added treasury function and estimating the cost of equity and deleted investment decisions &
Discount cashflow techniques(i.e time value of money etc….)But i don’t know what chapters these relate in the text book..i’m using the 2012 book..
Can you please help as im not sure which chapter are relevant.
Also, does the cashflow techniques relate to a mathematical calculation part for example question 1 in the 2012 exam paperReally confused, would really appreciate your help, as i’m self studying.

The syllabus has not actually changed much. Treasury function and estimating the cost of equity were already included to an extent. Although investment decisions and discounted cash flow techniques have been removed, it is because they are deemed knowledge from Paper F2, and so they can still be examined.
I do not know which text book you have and so I cannot relate them to chapters, but all of the 2012 text books are still relevant.
With regard to question 1 of the 2012 exam paper, you do not say which one (June or December). However both of them are still examinable.
Thank so much for your prompt reply.
I am using BPP Textbook, it was purchased in early 2012 but when i looked at it today it is the 2011 edition.is it too old to be studying from, for the 2013 exam…
The treasury function and estimating cost of equity which are added, are these in the OT Courses and lectures.In relation to question 1, i meant the NPV computation as per question 1 in December 2012 exam paper.
Thank you so much for your help,

You should have no problem using the 2011 BPP book plus the Opentuition notes etc. (plus Student Accountant F9 articles).
Hi,
Just wanted to clarify, are the treasury function and estimating the cost of equity in OT notes and lectures?Couldn’t find it…
Thanks,
Sarma
The treasury function is minor and is mentioned in several chapters.
I am really surprised that you could not find the cost of equity – try chapter 17 of the notes (and the lecture that goes with it) !
With relation to the changes stated to the F9, specifically the deletion of DCF techniques. I assuming this means that NPV calculation which has appear nearly of all the papers to date has been removed?
No – it does not mean that NPV calculations have been removed.
They are assumed knowledge from Paper F2.There will not be a full 25 marks on basic NPV calculations, but they can certainly form part of a question.

The only question I had hopes of scoring high marks has been removed, very sad :/
I feel like they always make such changes when I’m sitting for the exams haahaa
And I also feel like they are making every paper harder to pass each year, is that true sir?
