Hi,
I’ve started my RAP for the first time recently on topic 8 – “an analysis of a company over a 3 year period”.
While researching today I found something interesting on google. The “Resubmission checklist” asks you:
“Have you used the most up-to-date financial statements for review if you have based your RAP on topic 8? ”
https://www.obusubmissions.co.uk/app/images/documents/RAP%20checklist%202012-13.pdfThis is the first i’ve heard of any requirement to use a recent date range. The date range for my company of choice is the 3 years to 31/03/2013 and it won’t technically be the most recent financial statements on submission in May 2014.
Has anyone submitted a topic 8 RAP and had any issues with their choice of date range? Is it a problem if you choose an older range?
Thanks in advance for any helpful replies!
Okay. I see in the current guidance now it clearly states use the most current financials available. Presumably this is to dissuade people copying older successful RAPs.
https://business.brookes.ac.uk/undergraduate/2014/acca/files/information-pack.pdfI guess my question still stands. How old is reasonable. On submission in May 2014 the most recent financial statements for my entity will be a half year report to 30/09/2013. Presumably I’m okay to use the 3 years up to the most recent full annual report to 31/03/2013?
I m an ACCA student. Can anybody please tell me that which papers will be shown on the transcript of B.sc (hons) ?? Will it be the ACCA papers from f4 to f9 or any other papers?? Thanks
SulemanThanks @smoke I’ve justified my choice of years (most recent annual financials available) in part 2.
@suleman I don’t fully understand your question. If you are asking how your Bsc Level is calculated it is based on a combination of the grade your RAP receives and papers F4 – F9.The papers that is shown is F1 – F9 unless you came under the FIA/CAT route, then it would be F4 – F9 + Your Thesis
Info Pack says latest not any specific years. If financial statements for 2014 are not published due to audit or any internal issues then use 2011-2013. However, remember for ration calculation you will use 4 years ratios and then you will compare:
1. 2013 vs 2012
2. 2012 vs 2011
3. 2011 vs 2010Thank You.
