    Thanks alot sir
    and in part 2 info gathering and its limitations ive also put such points like:internet may cause eye strain and back pain if used excessively.
    and advantage is that it saves paper n ink

    similarly i have also talked abt the student accountant as a source of info.

    Is it correct?

    Hi,

    I refer to Appendix 6 ? Research and analysis project checklist

    i don´t quite get the checklist that said ´´´´Is your Research Report more than 7,000 words and your SLS more than 1800 words? Any submission under this word count is unlikely to pass.¨¨¨

    since the word limit is 7500, then it is more than 7000….???

    thank you

    I just realised something, If every word in RAP will get counted, does this also mean that words in headers and footers will also be included in the word count?

    @jk0323

    No they will not counted in word count but it is recommended to already leave a spread of 100 words.

    Thank You.

    Dear Ahmed,

    I attempted Topic 20 and failed my RAP but passed the SLS. Now I have changed my research topic but the organisation is still the same, do I resubmit the RAP only or the RAP and SLS since I have changed the topic?

    Thamk you

    @I jah man

    You do not need to resubmit re submission statement. Just write in it you have changed topic and why ? You will Submit RAP only.

    Thank You.

    Dear Hammad,

    May I check if we need to include a listing of the charts and tables under the contents page?

    Also, do we need to include a computation breakdown for income statm YoY analysis since the YoY figures are direct extracted from the statm?

    p.s. I have sent you via email my RR for your review.

    Many thanks.

    @Dawn

    No you don’t need to do listing of charts and tables under content page.

    No you do not need to present computation background. Just present formulas you have used in calculating ratios and financial statements in appendices.

    I have emailed you back.

    Thank You.

    @M.

    What do you mean by not mentioned in RAP?

    You should not show calculations in RAP, show in appendices.

    No there is no quota. You just need to make a reasonable and balanced report. You are not expected to do something exceptional out of the blue. There are 7 skills for Report and 2 for SLS, if you meet them then there is no chance of failing. If you leave some loopholes such as not mentioning limitations of one model etc then you increase risk of failure.

    Thank You.

    @hasanali95

    1. Yes use Arial

    2. Referencing text size does not matter but must be readable.

    3. You can reference as a number [1] or (Annual Report, 2011)

    Thank You.

    @hasanali95

    No page numbering is not necessary.

    Part 1 is fine but allocate some words part 3 to part 2.

    Thank You.

    @Hammad Ahmed Qureshi
    Sir, can I skip using tables in the doc of Research report and instead plot the table on the excel sheet of Working and Appendices file? ’cause that would save me a lot of words. In commentary of ratios, I will refer to that excel sheet table.
