I have a quick silly question. I often forget to state the obvious. Looking through the ACCA’s model answers, I see plenty of such points & I am tempted to compile a list.
*E.G. “Profits can be manipulated through the use of judgement or choice of a particular accounting policy.”
Now, I’m guessing this might be worth half a point or a point if I am lucky. Also, I could see such comments being applicable to both 1B&C, but also to Section B (esp Q4).
My question is, if relevant, could I recycle such a sentence in part B and score twice for the 1 observation?
No, I’d not recommend it at all. You’ll only end up trying to use it throughout the exam and then use it where it isn’t relevant. Just focus on answering the question posed.
