    for the ppt slides, are we supposed to have 1 picture per slide? It seems people have been failing the ppt requirements due to less pictures used.

    So we will put 1 clip art picture per slide? As long it is related to the slide discussion. Apart from the financial analysis part, where we will have 1 graph per slide.

    I failed in my first attempt because of my presentation slides! The feedback they gave me:

    ******
    Your presentation slides are too full and the writing is too small. A more professional looking presentation would restrict each slide to a number of bullet points which are more summarised than the current content. The font size should be a minimum of 16. You should also include more diagrams and charts to break up the writing and improve the overall look of the slides: the ratios could easily be presented graphically.
    ******

    Keep each slide to just a couple of bullet points and maybe a picture or too. Think very basic!!! My powerpoint ended up looking nothing like anything I would do at work – looked like a child did it! But it passed 🙂

    Well it hasn’t exactly changed my world 😉
    I’m already an SVP in a large bank so this hasn’t done anything job wise – I think the ACCA was more important career wise for me. But I’m the first person in my family ever to get a degree which I think is pretty cool! And I’m now doing an LLB and was able to enter on a graduate entry route – not because of my ACCA but because of the OBU.

    So all things considered I think it was worth it. Why do you think I’m lucky?!

    Are you submitting yours at the moment?

    @kitcat SVP? what the hack that is , is that Senior Vice President? that is a big thing man, yes the degree is important because for doing masters etc. ACCA is out of demand in Karachi, so many finalist working for $100 or 150 per month or are without job or intern. one chartered accountant told me that when they place an advt for intern they get 2500 applications and even after that when a chap is selected for intern, others envy “oh ” notwithstanding, that money is just enough to pay for transportation. Cant help it even USA went in such recession in 1930’s (:

    Gosh – ok – then that is pretty challenging. Maybe a good reason to do the OBU to at least give a competitive edge to the ACCA qualifications – employers are always looking for things to differentiate people.

    I wonder if the lack of suitable jobs in your country will eventually discourage people from doing these qualifications. It’s a shame really.

    Best of luck with your studies.
