Studying for any type of exam takes patience and careful planning, especially for an ACCA exam. I hope that you have been diligent enough to keep all study materials that may include audio, video, papers and other types of useful information for the ACCA exam. Organization is a critical factor from the very first stage of attending the ACCA School. There are some generalized guidelines to help you prepare for the ACCA exam.
Good, you have everything together and there is plenty of time to study before the exam. The whole key to achieving success on the exam is to be proficient in your working knowledge. You will need to plan for the ACCA exam, compose a plan on your laptop or in a paper notebook. Be prepared and flexible for events to arrive, such as work and possible emergencies. Develop a working mode for the topics of the syllabus that needs to be covered. You should familiarize yourself with the information from day one to now, look at the ACCA syllabus and see what is covered the most.
As you examine your notes and previous ACCA examinations (if you have them), focus on your strengths from the papers and exams. Build a daily goal for yourself to meet, for example; cover the concepts, reading a chapter or practice questions. You may want to seek help over a particular difficult area with a tutor or a close friend that is in the same endeavor. As time marches down, create a study sheet to help keep the concepts or vital information in your mind.

For your ACCA exam, you will be expected to know...
...The role of the finance department?
We get asked this question a lot, and I thought I would help to shed some light on the matter.
Within bigger companies the department head of finance, often holding the title of Finance Director or FD, will often answer directly to the CEO and other board members, with oversight of the two senior managers within the finance department – the treasurer and the financial controller.
The basic roles of these 3 individuals are key to the ACCA examinations.
1. ACCA qualified Director of Finance - their role
The FD is in control and has accountability the planning of:
- the preparation of statutory accounts;
- the management accounting and management accounting information systems, such as budgetary control; payroll and taxes; and treasury management and strategic financial decisions.
As part of his duties, the FD is required to give advise to the Board of Directors on matters such as the following:
- Identifying which corporate investments should be undertaken
- how these investments should be funded
- as well as the policy for end of year dividends
For further information on the ACCA, the ACCA exam syllabus, or additional knowledge on the Roles of the Finance department within large companies, see the www.TonySurridge.co.uk website.

How important are your ACCA exams for your ACCA livelihood?
This could be the $64m question asked by many or even most part qualified ACCA students, as they approach the conclusion of their ACCA student life-cycle, can easily see light after the preverbial tunnel, and is all set to face a brand new challenge dawning in the distance. Namely, the battle of passing all their ACCA exams, finally qualifying after all these years and acquiring that desired accreditation to the internationally recognised ACCA, and now having to find suitable and regular work in the accounting field.
Obtaining a job in accountancy is not an effortless feat; it is a very ambitious and hungry environment. ACCA students commence their ACCA student career with a vision of easily obtaining a high paying position in accountancy at the end, since their qualification holds great weight. Have an ACCA qualification is virtually a pre-requisite lately to achieve a suitable standard of job role. As the University Degree became more common place on the CV of candidates looking for everyday jobs, as has the ACCA qualification become the standard amongst job-seeking qualified accountants. Without a qualification, life would be much harder.

ACCA exam preparation and the ACCA revision required.
ACCA revision time
August sees the start of a new semester, and as the term proceeds and the December ACCA exams loom ever near many a student will fear - as a sudden sense of doubt and worry sets in the student’s mind - the one over-ruling question – “Have I done enough revision to pass my ACCA exams?”
Exam time is never easy, and as educational professionals in the industry, we are constantly asked by students the same question – “How much time should I spend on my ACCA revision?” And every time we must reply the same response – it differs from student to student, with no real set answer. Unlike registering for a new subject where there are a set number of hours you should study in order to fully absorb the information (usually 40 hours), revision for your ACCA exams is slightly harder to gauge.
Revision is always subjective, depending on the student’s quick learning ability, if they have an existing aptitude for the topics in that subject (e.g. if the ACCA Paper involves more calculations and is orientated around figures, or whether it is a discursive paper) and also most importantly, if they already have prior knowledge of the subject. Some students may be taking a re-sit, and know the subject better than others, or if the subject is an advanced paper and the student already has a solid understanding of the foundation level that preceded it. All these factors will play a part in their ACCA revision.
However, as a benchmark we would always advise to try for 18 hours revision per subject. If they are taking multiple ACCA exams at the same sitting, with time dwindling away, it’s down to the ACCA student’s ability to manage their time efficiently and prioritise where the bulk of their time should be spent.

ACCA students - Are you a ‘Practice Freak’, ‘Answer Auditor’ or ‘Single-dimensioner’?
Over the years I have listened to many grumbles about the ACCA exam syllabuses and exam pass rates but few about how ACCA students prepare themselves for the actual exam. I have been teaching for some time now and I have a few grumbles which I wish to share with you so that you may reflect on your own style of learning. Dare I hope that my observations may help a few ACCA students to study more effectively and pass their respective ACCA exams?
The average ACCA student is a ‘coat of many colours’. So which type of student are YOU? Could this be you ….?
The Practice-freak is the ACCA student who short-cuts the syllabus by merely practising one question after another thus avoiding 'tedious' involvement in the detail of the topics concerned. A common variant on this style of learning is the 'Answer auditor' who short-cuts even further by simply checking through answers without even attempting the questions. This passive style of learning is non-functional. The 'Practice-freak'/'Answer Auditor' is often seen as the Single-dimensioner in the exam - the candidate who is unable to cope adequately with a question which has a multi-dimensional emphasis not previously examined.
So there it is. Here is one ACCA student caricature which is somewhat common (as are the other seven types we have posted) and dare I say may even be a version of your own behaviour. Quid rides? Mutato nomine de te fabula narratur. (Why do you laugh? With change of name the story is about you).
Prevent yourself from becoming simply a ‘Practice Freak’, ‘Answer Auditor’ or ‘Single-dimensioner’ by taking advantage of the tony.surridge.co.uk ACCA study e-books. The series of Tony Surridge +AddVance E-books are specially designed for the ACCA exam syllabuses (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants). Our high quality ACCA study guide is structured around the core study text, with additional mnemonics and charts, supported by activities, as well as exam-status questions and answers for you, the ACCA student, to practice. Our comprehensive +AddVance electronic study tools provides an essential route-map through the ACCA syllabus and provides an expert interpretation of the subject and the ACCA exam requirements.

Are you a ‘Know It All’ or ‘Targent-erer’? Which ACCA student are you?
Over the years I have listened to many grumbles about exam syllabuses and exam pass rates but few about how students prepare themselves for the exam. I have been teaching for some time now and I have a few grumbles which I wish to share with you so that you may reflect on your own style of learning. Dare I hope that my observations may help a few students to study more effectively and pass their exams?
The average student is a ‘coat of many colours’. So which type of student are YOU?
Could this be you ….?
The Know It All is the ACCA student who has successfully studied for another related qualification (but surprisingly without gaining exemption in the subject now to be examined!) and therefore wrongly perceives the subject as simplistic and not warranting further and more detailed examination and study. This ACCA student does not seem to appreciate that similar topics and techniques have different applications. In the exam the 'Know It All' is often revealed as the Tangent-erer who seems to be at pains to answer question in stereotyped, inflexible and inappropriate ways.
So there it is. Here is one student caricature (and another one just as valid will be posted soon) which is somewhat common and dare I say may even be a version of your own behaviour. Quid rides? Mutato nomine de te fabula narratur. (Why do you laugh? With change of name the story is about you).

Are you a ‘Will-Doer’ or ‘Politician’? Pass your ACCA exams with hard study
Over the years I have listened to many grumbles about exam syllabuses and ACCA exam pass rates but few about how students prepare themselves for the exam. I have been teaching for some time now and I have a few grumbles which I wish to share with you so that you may reflect on your own style of learning. Dare I hope that my observations may help a few students to study more effectively and pass their ACCA exams?
The average student is a ‘coat of many colours’. So which type of student are YOU?
Could this be you ….?
The Will-Doer is always going to start studying 'one of these days' failing to appreciate the simple but true axiom that 'one of these days is none of these days'. In the few weeks just prior to the exam the student desperately resorts to the unachievable task of cramming in sufficient knowledge being obsessively and exclusively focused on uncertain exam tips. The 'Well-doer' is identified in the exam as the Politician who doesn't answer the questions posed, thinking that obscure answers will cover for inadequate knowledge.

ACCA students need to revise harder to pass their ACCA exams
Do ACCA students need to revise harder to pass their ACCA exams? There is some concern that many ACCA students are becoming complacent with their studies, expecting to pass the big exams with minimal work, or just be revising “cliff notes” on the subject. But that is simply not the case.
ACCA revision should not be taken lightly, and needs to weigh just as prominently in your mind as your standard ACCA studies. Whilst your learning may not necessarily revolve around a classroom environment – it could be a distance learning programme, self study from your own purchased materials, or E-learning online – the number of hours study and actual revision should remain constant regardless of your learning environment. Namely, 40 hours for ACCA study, and 18 hours for ACCA revision.
The ACCA exams themselves have not changed fundamentally. Yes, they underwent some uplift at the start of 2011, but generally the study content hasn’t changed by much. The ACCA exams should also remain of a similar standard, yet more and more ACCA students are complaining about failing! The ever-growing number of students registering to study ACCA means that to become an ACCA qualified accountant, the competition is increasing, and the need to quickly pass and secure a full time position is greater than ever, with ACCA student enrolment figures now reaching a whopping 424,000. But the potential for ACCA jobs is still there, as of today the tony.surridge.co.uk ACCA jobs-board is advertising 7,763 accountancy positions which are vacant and need filling.
What’s the final advice? Go that extra mile, and study harder so you can pass your ACCA exams first time. Don’t make excuses and point the finger of blame elsewhere. Short-term hardship for better long-term gain is the goal… and then you’ll be on your way to becoming a qualified ACCA accountant.

The 12 rules of studying for your ACCA exams
Some rules to think about when preparing for your ACCA exams
Rule 1:
Be fanatical. Be totally committed - in fact you must positively radiate passion for the subjects you intend to study. A fanatical fervour to study is the minimum level of enthusiasm required at the start of term.
Rule 2:
Planning is everything. It is vital that you organise your study programme before you commence your ACCA studies - work backwards from the date of your targeted ACCA exam and allocate your study time on that basis. Also, ration your available time to accommodate other important needs including your domestic, social and sporting commitments as well as planned holidays and events. Balance different subjects by weighting the subjects you are about to study according to the degree of difficulty you perceive in each – e.g. you may be weak in the computational aspects and feel that more time needs to be devoted to them than for discursive topics. Construct your overall ‘Course Plan’ by drawing up a programme table and slotting your agreed allocated times (by unit of study, etc.) into different days of weeks. You should then regard your ‘’Weekly Course Planner’ as being the most important ancillary document of your studies. In fact – stick it up and look at it every day!
Rule 3: Decide when to study. You may be an ‘early bird’ and work at your best when mind and body wake refreshed by sleep, or alternatively you may be a ‘night owl’ and work best in the late evening ‘burning the midnight oil’ There is no firm and sound rule on this but obviously if you attempt to study when you are tired your ability to assimilate information and facts is reduced and your interest and enthusiasm will waver.
Rule 4: Get addicted to your ACCA study. Get into a study routine as quickly as you can. If possible organise your ACCA study routine so that you use the same place, the same table or desk and plan to work at the same time each day. At the start, study will be a chore … then routine makes it habitual …… and soon you will find it interesting and become addicted!
Rule 5: Stay sane. Encourage your family and friends to assist in your ACCA studies. Don’t become isolated or alienated from your immediate circle by being too introverted while you are studying.
Rule 6: Catch up! If you fall behind in your ‘Weekly Course Plan’ then make a determined effort to bring your ACCA studies back into line.
Rule 7: Don’t abuse your body. Healthy body = Healthy mind. In other words don’t try to do too much each day and get permanently overtired. Don’t go on swotting for lengthy periods without having a break or with-out taking regular exercise of the type appropriate for your needs.
Rule 8: Drill down. Study hard with the aim of understanding, interpreting, appraising, evaluating and using the points covered. And study the entire syllabus!. Studying can be very hard work - but there is no reason why it should not be interesting and enjoyable. Keep a clear-headed perspective. Remember that only two years hard study often results in thirty years or so of rewarding and satisfying employment. Not a bad return on time investment!
Rule 9: Bite the bullet – and work questions. The surest way to succeed in your ACCA exams is to constantly recall, rethink, test and refresh knowledge. Examination status questions act as a stimulus for the learning process and provide a basis by which you can practice answering questions and assess your progress.
Rule 10: Get feedback. The full value of working through exam-status questions will only be gained if you give them the same degree of respect you give to your ACCA exams. Be totally committed, work hard for, and at, questions and be concerned about how well you perform. There is a lot of evidence to suggest that students benefit enormously from tackling questions and getting feedback on how well they are doing. The benefits of practising questions, however, will only be gained if the question is worked under simulated exam conditions with the same strict code of behaviour adopted.
Rule 11: Wind down. Happy times! Your ACCA exam is over and all you need to do now is wait for your exam results. Use the period between your ACCA exams and the exam results, and presumably the commencement of your next study programme wisely. This is a time for holidays and relaxation. Such opportunities should not be wasted. Do not leave an exam hall and immediately start sudying for your next exam - ambitious, committed and interested though you are. You will be doing yourself no favours.
Rule 12: Keep your flag flying. Think on this ….
Ability results from endeavour….
Success results from ability….
Satisfaction results from success.
Work hard in your studies and achieve satisfaction in your life. It’s worth it!
So there is some advice. I suppose that many will not heed it and this semester's styles of learning will be as varied and often as ineffective as before. But at least you can't say we haven't put our points across!

Rule 6: Catch up! If you fall behind in your ‘Weekly Course Plan’ then make a determined effort to bring your ACCA studies back into line.
Rule 7: Don’t abuse your body. Healthy body = Healthy mind. In other words don’t try to do too much each day and get permanently overtired. Don’t go on swotting for lengthy periods without having a break or with-out taking regular exercise of the type appropriate for your needs.
Rule 8: Drill down. Study hard with the aim of understanding, interpreting, appraising, evaluating and using the points covered. And study the entire syllabus!. Studying can be very hard work - but there is no reason why it should not be interesting and enjoyable. Keep a clear-headed perspective. Remember that only two years hard study often results in thirty years or so of rewarding and satisfying employment. Not a bad return on time investment!
Rule 9: Bite the bullet – and work questions. The surest way to succeed in your ACCA exams is to constantly recall, rethink, test and refresh knowledge. Examination status questions act as a stimulus for the learning process and provide a basis by which you can practice answering questions and assess your progress.
Rule 10: Get feedback. The full value of working through exam-status questions will only be gained if you give them the same degree of respect you give to your ACCA exams. Be totally committed, work hard for, and at, questions and be concerned about how well you perform. There is a lot of evidence to suggest that students benefit enormously from tackling questions and getting feedback on how well they are doing. The benefits of practising questions, however, will only be gained if the question is worked under simulated exam conditions with the same strict code of behaviour adopted.
Rule 11: Wind down. Happy times! Your ACCA exam is over and all you need to do now is wait for your exam results. Use the period between your ACCA exams and the exam results, and presumably the commencement of your next study programme wisely. This is a time for holidays and relaxation. Such opportunities should not be wasted. Do not leave an exam hall and immediately start sudying for your next exam - ambitious, committed and interested though you are. You will be doing yourself no favours.
Rule 12: Keep your flag flying. Think on this ….
Ability results from endeavour….
Success results from ability….
Satisfaction results from success.
Work hard in your studies and achieve satisfaction in your life. It’s worth it!
So there is some advice. I suppose that many will not heed it and this semester's styles of learning will be as varied and often as ineffective as before. But at least you can't say we haven't put our points across!

Preparing for your ACCA exams - Are you a ‘Mantra Chantra’ ‘or ‘Underliner’?
Are you a ‘Mantra Chantra’ ‘or ‘Underliner’?
Over the years I have listened to many grumbles about ACCA exam syllabuses and ACCA exam pass rates but few about how students prepare themselves for the exam. I have been teaching for some time now and I have a few grumbles which I wish to share with you so that you may reflect on your own style of learning. Dare I hope that my observations may help a few students to study more effectively and pass their exams?
The average student is a ‘coat of many colours’. So which type of student are YOU?
Could this be you ….?
The Mantra Chanter thinks that 'something memorised is something learned' and concentrates on memorising lists of facts, definitions, names (of famous authors), formulae and buzz words without enduring the intellectual puzzle of trying to understand what it all means. In the ACCA exam the Mantra Chanter becomes the Underliner who goes to town underlining every word or fact that has been carefully memorised and positioned in the answer - even if not in context.
So there it is. Here is one student caricature ( and others just as valid will be posted soon) which is somewhat common and dare I say may even be a version of your own behaviour. Quid rides? Mutato nomine de te fabula narratur. (Why do you laugh? With change of name the story is about you).

ACCA Paper F4 - remembering case studies for your ACCA exams
It has been said that if someone is stuck in a difficult situation then it should be dealt with smartly and with confidence, and this will help produce a positive outcome. The same thing can be said for the ACCA Paper F4 exam, which many candidates find difficult. The paper comprises of theory linked with different case laws. The Examiner expects candidates to be aware of different cases and apply them appropriately in different scenarios and situations
So, how do you memorise each case that's given in textbooks? The ACCA Paper F4 examiner has said it clearly, that almost every ACCA exam sitting will have scenario based questions requiring students to provide legal advice. It has been observed that even though students work hard at their ACCA study material they are still failing to pass the Paper F4 exam. Students are probably finding it difficult to memorise the facts of the different cases and then to apply them in given scenarios. Exact details are not necessary for the paper but knowledge of the facts of the case under review is important.
Take, for instance, the case of Chappell and Co V Nestle Co from contract law (adequacy and sufficiency of consideration). The case is detailed and quite complicated, but can be memorized in a simple way. The broad details of the case are as follows:
From memory (so might not be fully accurate) Chappell & Co. owned the copyright to musical record ‘Rockin’ shoes’ (by The King Brothers). Nestle was giving away records of it to people who sent in three wrappers from 6d chocolate bars, as well as 1s 6d. The Copyright Act 1956 s8 said a 6.25% royalty needed to be paid on the ‘ordinary retail selling price’ to the owners of copyrights. Nestle said 1s 6d was the ordinary retail selling price and that the used wrappers had no value, but Chappell & Co argued that it should be more and sought an injunction for breach of CA 1956 s 8. In this way the question arose as to whether the wrappers were consideration for the records. Upjohn granted an injunction. The Court of Appeal reversed the decision and Chappell & Co appealed.
In the case of Chappell and Co V Nestle Co, it was held that a used chocolate wrapper was consideration sufficient to form a contract even though it had no economic value to Nestle.
The detailed facts of the case can be curtailed in this way, and made more simple to remember. Similar curtailment can be made too other legal case studies. Dealing with case law seems to be difficult but if different cases can be recalled in simple ways then passing the exam will not be so difficult. ACCA Paper F4 students should, however, be aware that they will not be able to achieve strong pass grades without learning, and being able to recall, case studies.
So, how do you memorise each case that's given in textbooks? The ACCA Paper F4 examiner has said it clearly, that almost every ACCA exam sitting will have scenario based questions requiring students to provide legal advice. It has been observed that even though students work hard at their ACCA study material they are still failing to pass the Paper F4 exam.

What are employers expecting from ACCA job applicants?
We are all aware of the uncertain economic conditions throughout the world and how difficult it is nowadays to get appointed in the organisation of our choice. A responsible ‘white collar’ job is everyone’s dream especially after passing the qualifying exams of ACCA or CIMA. People often choose a finance and accountancy career as they believe that it will give them interesting and satisfying responsibilities and often presents a short-cut route to senior management positions. Keeping in mind the emerging demand of ACCA members and other professional accountants, people often get a picture in their minds that after completion of the ACCA qualifying exams they will go directly to the higher positions. Indeed, some candidates are hired on a ‘fast-route’ basis, but this is not the case for the majority of applicants. What’s the reason behind this?
The probable reason is that most ACCA job applicants are not aware of their employer’s expectations. Studies leading to professional qualification like that of ACCA, CIMA etc. lack considerably on the ‘softer skills’ although they are well versed on the technical aspects. It has been seen that evidence of personal skills and personality traits cannot be seen in many
ACCA job applicants even though they hold professional qualifications which are renowned throughout the world. Analysis of the current economic situation throughout the world shows us that the first objective of most organisation is one of cost cutting. Employing managers will be looking for applicants who are competent and versatile in every aspect required and who promise good value for money for investment in them. ACCA and CIMA professional applicants who demonstrate good communication skills along with strong business etiquette, team spirit, negotiation skills and social graces are people who are most successful in obtaining professional positions and reaching high positions.
.
For this reason, it is important that ACCA and CIMA applicants have a knowledge and skill base that extends beyond their professional examinations. Knowledge grooms personality and leads to confidence - important requirements in modern organisations. An important need therefore, is to extend study beyond normal course books and to embrace business newspapers, business magazines and well written business books. This will help sharpen your business perception and softer http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifskills. It is personality that counts high when it comes to the promotion of one individual from a group of people with similar technical skills who all compete for the position.
Organisations are very aware that employees play an important part in maintaining relationships with their customers and developing a successful business. For this reason, soft skills have a great impact on clients, often greater than the technical skills. We cannot say that technical skills are not important but we all know that the balance of soft and technical skills is vital in today’s professional environment. It is unlikely that an ACCA or CIMA professional will advance far without a strong demonstration of skills in both.

ACCA P3 Overview of Analytical Models – E-book now launched from TonySurridge.co.uk
ACCA study materials publisher, TonySurridge.co.uk, have announced the latest addition to their ACCA study E-books range. Their newest title “Overview of Analytical Models” comprises solely of analytical models used for ACCA P3 learning, offering a quick and concise revision tool when preparing for your ACCA P3 exams.
Taken as an extract from their earlier and full ACCA exam study text for P3, this new E-book is a collection of the analytical models presented within. Whilst not actually offering anything new in terms of study advice or text, this E-book is still a very handy resource, allowing students to revise those key models without the need to search for them individually throughout the main textbook.
Although this E-book is small and compact in size compared to its counterpart ACCA study materials published by TonySurridge.co.uk, it is still a valuable resource to help with your ACCA exam studies.
One director of the ACCA study providers commented on their latest publication:
“Whilst it is not our intention to break existing study materials into smaller E-books, this was an exception. We were approached by numerous students asking specifically for an E-book containing ONLY the analytical models from ACCA P3. We had them embedded throughout our main P3 Exam Study Textbook, but the students said they found the analytical models extremely useful yet didn’t have the time to trawl through all the pages to find each one. As sliced bread was the invention of necessity, so too I guess is this E-book!”
With other ACCA study and ACCA revision materials being constantly written by the team at TonySurridge.co.uk, we look forward to seeing more handy titles coming soon!
