ACCA past papers are a great study tool to employ into your schedule. ACCA past papers provide a great insight to practicing for the exam. You could use these ACCA past papers as a study tool to gain a feeling to what the examiner may be asking in the next exam. The past papers could be used with Examiner reports, technical articles, Syllabus and various ACCA study guides to help you succeed in the ACCA qualification.
The past papers provide a realistic exam feeling and the solutions guide provides an exceptional insight into the Examiner’s view. If these papers are used along with the current course load and other aids, the chances of success are greater. Do not rely on the papers as an exclusive tool for your studying. Your ACCA syllabus and current guides may enhance your studying time. The solutions aspect will provide a guideline to what the examiner is asking for in regards to answer style, quality and length.
Some of the ACCA past papers include F1 – F9 and may include the Essentials for you to study. The topics and subjects matters should correspond with the syllabus at the time and a general guideline could be developed from the syllabus and as well from the answer section. You could “test” yourself based on the older paper, before you look at the solutions to measure your learning success. Once you complete this aspect, you may want to examine the questions and answers with a careful eye. This may help you develop an attentive measure for your current studies. What you learned from the exercise should be carried over to your current endeavors.

What is an entrepreneur? ACCA publisher TonySurridge looks for an answer
Entrepreneur in English is a term applied to the type of personality who is willing to take upon himself or herself a new venture or enterprise and accepts full responsibility for the outcome. Jean-Baptiste Say, a French economist, believed to have coined the word Entrepreneur first in about at 1800. He said an entrepreneur is "one who undertakes an enterprise, especially a contractor, acting as intermediatory between capital and labour".
Entrepreneurship is often difficult and tricky, resulting in many new ventures failing. The word entrepreneur is often synonymous with founder. Most commonly, the term entrepreneur applies to someone who creates value by offering a product or service, by carving out a niche in the market that may not exist currently. Entrepreneurs tend to identify a market opportunity and exploit it by organising their resources effectively to accomplish an outcome that changes existing interactions within a given sector.
Business entrepreneurs are viewed as fundamentally important in the capitalistic society.
This type of enterprise normally uses the simplest form of organisational structure where the owner makes all the major decisions. The role and tasks of the other employees are determined by the owner on an ad hoc basis. It exhibits Handy’s ‘Power culture’ which is covered in several ACCA study e-books published by ACCA study publishers TonySurridge.co.uk.
We recommend the TonySurridge.co.uk ACCA study e-books which cover exam text, diagnostic questions and answers, mnemonics and charts in selected subjects. These provide important support for students studying the ACCA syllabus.

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.
For more advise and ACCA study guides for ACCA revision, see the TonySurridge.co.uk website.

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 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!
