diploma in accountancy but exempted from F6? even UOL degree in banking & finance also don't exempt F6. You might want to double check..

Hi guys, like to ask the veterans what are the careers after ACCA? I'm currently taking ACCA but kind of slowly losing interest in working in tax, audit and accounting.. What other career path ACCA cert will allow? Like to know more! Thanks

Hmm. tax, audit and accounting is very wide in scope.. for eg: tax has corporate tax, personal tax or gst. so i am not sure if you have tried all 3..

As for audit, there are internal audit and external audit. the job scope is pretty much similar except that internal audit get to travel more often and working hours are better than external audit.

For accounting, there are company level accounting, group consolidation, cost accounting, finance analyst/management accountant. Management accountant and finance analyst job scope will be quite different from company and group accountant as they tend to be more forward looking where they analyze and review data to find trend, and usually they are involved in projects such as starting up a joint venture, etc..

If you are a person who gets bored easily and like seeing new stuffs, it would be better if you choose audit or management accountant.

Any guys managed to pass any of the ACCA papers by self study?

i passed f1-f4 by self study while holding a part time job. but i find it difficult to cope when it comes to f5-f8 so i took up classes. if you are in financial tight situation , you could self study f1-f4 and any other theory papers..

Lol F6 is tax paper leh. UOL don't exempt F6 because no tax modules. Even for AnF. For my diploma I did Taxation 1 and Taxation 2. And I double checked yes it is exempted

Anyone can help to advice during calculate Goodwill of foreign subsidiary, should we use the closing date on acquisition date or consolidation date?

thanks in advance.

goodwill always on acq date.your coi>fv of your assets you have goodwill

goodwill can only happen once:the day u assume control.it can never be removed unless impaired or loss of control.if you already have control and there is a piecemeal/disposal no change to gwill.

i think youre confused on the rate.My lecturer taught the closing rate method.So to calulate coi you must use the closing rate.Any difference(from the sofp given vs the calculated coi) will be sent to oce as translation loss/gain

hope this helps and good luck!

thanks a lot for the details explanation.
I confuse because the Lecturer used the closing date at consolidated. But the examiner used the closing date at acquisition. This result different value in Goodwill.

thats good but you might have issues if you want to take P6 subsequently.. unless you are not intending to take P6 then thats fine.

If you are intending to take P5 or P6, you might wanna brush up on the necessary fundamentals before the commencement of lessons. Even though i didn't do P5/6, but judging from the recent pass rates I feel these are the papers to avoid.
