December 2012 Stillwater Services 3a) NOPAT starts with OP deducts tax, but this includes an adjustment of the lost tax relief on interest.

[hbwiza21]

I see where I went wrong , I deducted Lost tax relief on interest 22%of 1500

Why do we not include this in adjustments?

Thank you in advance

ACCA recommends a 17″ screen however I have a 13″ laptop which I have successfully used in the practise cbe platform. is there a difference to the layout in the live exam?

I do have a monitor that works but that does not have any Microsoft packages (excel, word) does anyone know if it would be fine to use this in the exam?

[hbwiza21]

Okay, so I started with OP would this be correct ? And tax relief @ 22%×1500

Thank you

Hi ken,

What additional topics are you referring to here? please provide chapters

Hi guys. this is my first time doing a paper using CBE.

When I want to skip to question 2 or 3 I get the error message “You have not viewed entire screen….”
I have clicked on every exhibit/ scrolled up and down the page to no avail. During the exam we have the option to do questions in any order and I am afraid this error message will keep coming up and I will spend more time trying to figure out how the system works instead of answering the question.

please help if u can

Hi,

Still unsure what this asking “Evaluate the impact on Posie’s information requirements arising from:”

If I was to look at the question just as the below, yes your answer and the acca answer would make sense.

(i) The need to identify and improve on the level of customer returns. (6 marks)
(ii) The proposed re-designation of the overseas subsidiaries from profit centres to revenue centres.

But the evaluate part is what is throwing me off.

ps. examiners report said this was a badly answered question as candidates did not understand the question.

How do i spot that eg exam MARCH/JUNE 2018

Most of the exams are phrased in this way.

Thanks,

I have read somewhere that OT notes don’t cover everything. is this cause they are F5 topics , if so is there a list of topics i can refer to and can i find them on OT?

[hbwiza21]

Thanks for above advice.

So OT notes and then past papers using BPP revision KIT. Any focus on technical articles?

[hbwiza21]

Passed 3rd attempt 54% . Start with easiest question first guys! I hardly did Q1AR part A. Probably only 10 marks…. , BUT 3 and 2 very well completed in depth.

Congrats to those that passed. The ones that failed DO NOT GIVE UP!!

😀

Hi Kim. Can’t see any article titled that. please can you send link. also what are the best chapters for this in notes?

[hbwiza21]

Hi, i have. but focuses more on ethics. I can’t find any pertaining to QC questions. ?

[hbwiza21]

thank you!

[hbwiza21]

Thanks

If the scenario clearly present 2 or 3. Do we need to address all of them though?

i feel like i spend too much time highlighting risks associated with a particular standard in a given scenario. if 1 mark is given per explanation. can i explain just the one point specifically.

See for example September 2018 note 2 on Intangible Assets. Can I address all costs being capitalised being wrong and explain it well and not address the issue of all the IA being amortized over same useful life.

Thanks

[hbwiza21]

Ok thanks

[hbwiza21]

As the procedures are 1 mark each, can a 3 line answer: For example

Discuss with management and any other employees in involved in establishing the performance measures to understand logic behind how the measures are identified and whether they are relevant to the hospitals objectives.

Would this be enough for 1 mark

[hbwiza21]

Oh yes. Misread. thanks

Hi Kim, as per ACCA article below, I thought a conclusion would be agreed by the client?

There is no specific format or wording that is prescribed by international regulations for reporting on public sector performance information, though in some jurisdictions the national regulators may issue country-specific requirements.

Generally, the auditor will provide a conclusion on whether the public sector entity has achieved its objectives as shown by the reported performance information and concludes on the information itself. This conclusion may be in the form of a reasonable assurance conclusion – ie an opinion is expressed, or may be in the form of a negative assurance conclusion – ie no opinion is expressed. Essentially, in the absence of any jurisdiction specific requirements, the auditor will agree the type of conclusion with the public sector organisation and usually its regulating body
