    ok, so to confirm… ungear the proxy company, and apply that ungeared Ke to the project cash flows, and follow the usual APV steps from there?

    similar to change of financial risk, but we are ungearing the proxy company and applying to our own CFs?

    I hope it comes out too – as long as you can work your calculator, it’s an easy 10 (ish) marks!

    there was a communication from ACCA about this ages ago – you have to print from online – take your usual ID as well in case your picture isn’t on the print out

    personally I find it easier to watch the news for 5 minutes to get the latest. Plus, there was something on BBC2 called “The Great Euro Crash…” on the 17th – check it out on iplayer

    p.s the article only takes 10 minutes to read… it’s 10 minutes well spent if it comes up

    why are people so angry? They can test any area of the SYLLABUS, not the books you’ve been reading. Once you’ve been through your text books, it helps to look at what the ACCA is actually testing.

    Q2 was just DRs and CRs

    Q3 was about the specialised entity but like the ACCA have said, we don’t need specialised knowledge, but just an understanding of the framework

    Q4 I knew I wasn’t going to do two months before today!

    @agentsingh said:
    Is there a past paper example of a complex group (vertical or D-shaped)? I can’t seem to find one. If there isn’t, then other than the study books, is there another resource available to practice the type of question which may appear? Thanks

    check these out from the BPP P&R Kit, they’re all Ds or verticals:

    Q30
    Q31 (June 2007)
    Q32
    Q33
    Q40 (June 2010)

    personally I am concentrating most of my Q1 efforts on SOFP in a D-shaped or regular (vertical) sub-sub group structure…

    as for SOCI, it’s not my favourite but should be ok…

    a foreign sub or cashflow, I just hope not!! No matter how many I look at it’s just not clicked!

    self review, self interest, familiarity, advocacy, and intimidation

    question 4 was pretty much F8!

    thought it was a good paper (and the people asking about the Kohlberg stuff – there were three people in the case, and there will always be one of each level!!)

    oh right!

    everything! Governance, Risk, AND Ethics!!

    if we understand the subject rather than just learning it, we can then apply it to whatever scenario they chuck at us!

    and not just cash loss – think reputation, staff, investment, supply, demand, etc etc

    they have added the tax back because the total figure was a negative, so effectively they are claiming tax back in that bit

    if the total figures were profits then the tax would be negative. Tax is always opposite to profit/loss figure

    hope that helps

    I can’t see where the 10% premium has come from either! Hmm…

    afia – you have to show your workings, that’s where most of the marks are for numerical Qs!
