To. Whom it may Concern
I’ll be sitting for the f9 exam this December. And hoping to do another subject as well along with f9. Out of f5 and f7 which is the most appropriate to do along with f9 thank youIf F5 and F7 are your only options, I would personally choose F5.
Unless you are already very familiar with financial reporting, consolidation and Ifrs standards, F7 is a challenging paper.
I cleared F2, F3, F5 and F7 in June session and even though I work as an accountant in a Financial Reporting department in the banking sector, F7 proved to be the most difficult one.
I am too preparing F9 for December session and I am finding many similarities with some of the methodologies used in F2 and F5: e.g. Discounting, annuities and perpetuities, limited factors analysis…
Good luck.Coco: Thanks for your reply, but please don’t answer in this forum – it is Ask the Tutor and you are not the tutor 🙂 Please do answer questions in the other F5 forum though – that forum is for students to help each other 🙂
ashtruck: There is no easy answer. Although Coco is correct that both F5 and F9 follow on from F2, they follow on from different parts of F2. Otherwise they are very different papers and apart from a little bit of terminology there is not really any connection. Performance Management (which is topics such as costing, variances, and budgeting) has little to do with Financial Management (which is topics such as investment appraisal, cost of capital and sources of long-term capital, and foreign exchange risk management).
The danger of doing F5 and F9 at the same time is that there is a danger of getting confused between the two.Oups… Sorry for that! I saw this question in the list of latest comments while viewing a lecture and did not realised it was in the ask the tutor forum. My bad….
im also attempting paper f9 this december attempt
i have paper 6 and 8 remaining
whats the best combination with F9 ?
There is no best combination in that neither of them really has any connection with F9. (F9 does need a tiny but of tax knowledge, but you can learn that on its own if you haven’t done F6).
F6 is virtually all calculations, F8 has no calculations, and F9 is 50% calculations and 50% written.Hi John, I need your advice. I have F7 (resit) and F9 to go before moving to the Professional level. Is it possible to do these two together in December? What will be the best strategy? Many thanks.
