Correction in F5 BPP book 2011

To those who are currently studying paper F5, there are some mistakes in the BPP book and I had confirmed these mistakes with BPP UK. In page 68 which is 2.3 environmental activity-based costing, change two things.

Originally it is read as "environmental-driven costs such as costs relating to a sewage plant or incinerator are attributed to joint environmental cost centres" and "environmental-related costs such as increased depreciation or a higher cost of staff etc". Now change it too "environmental-related costs such as costs relating to a sewage plant or incinerator are attributed to joint environmental cost centres" and "environmental-driven costs such as increased depreciation or a higher cost of staff etc".

In facebook BPP has a group called "ACCA at BPP", if you have found any mistake in the book, you can say it there so that the future users will not be affected by it. :)

IAC shirt and Deloitte visiting

Hello everyone just to inform you all about two things as stated in the title. The shirts have arrived so you can collect your shirt now at the counter if you had brought it :)

Secondly, we had organised to visit Deloitte on 6th of April and this activity is only for ACCA students because CAT students would not need it yet. It is cheap, RM12 where RM10 is a refundable deposit, so actual costs = RM2!!! For more information please look at the board of our department :p

ACCA results

You should have knew that ACCA results are out on 21st of February. To receive your results via email, you have to log into myacca, there is a new box which is about registering to receive results via email, click it and ensure you have ticked the box in the next page.

Sometimes you might not receive the results even you had registered to receive via email, this is probably because of many ACCA students, ACCA might mistakenly ignored your email (I had experienced it once). Normally ACCA results are published at 5.00am UK time which is 1.00pm Malaysia time, at that time you can also check your results by going to www.accaglobal.com they will change the front page.

This is important especially for those who just attempted paper-based exam first time, wish you all a very luck in your results :D

IAC shirt day

Hello everyone, in our recent committee meeting we had discussed about the shirt day, ie. the day where everyone should wear the IAC T-shirt. In conclusion we had decided to keep the day on Wednesday, the reason behind it is because there are many classes in Wednesday and we think that Wednesday is a good day compared to other day.

Therefore, guys and girls, please wear the IAC T-shirt when you come on Wednesday so that we also show others that we exist as a big united family :D

First activity of 2011

Our club's first activity, ie. bowling will be held at Sunway Pyramid on 21st of January, this image shows the information about this activity, please join and have fun, it is cheap :)

The beginning of 2011

Happy new year everyone, we just had a committee meeting today and I am the new media manager, my name is Seah, we have also decided other posts such as treasurer, public relation manager and so on but now we are still finding people who are willing to become a secretary :)

Take note that we have new Head of Programme and we have a more rigid procedures, but because of this we need to have more activities and that is also part of our discussion in committee meeting.

Activities are divided into profession-related activities and non-profession-related activities. In profession-related activity, we decided to visit Deloitte at Damansara, one of the big 4, to learn something from there and this is an opportunity for you to see practical approach to some of the knowledge that you acquired. For non-profession-related activity, we have some activities in mind such as bowling, paintball, 2 days 1 night trip at Pork Dickson and so on. All of these activities have one common objective: to get rid of books and enjoy!

The above activities are what we currently have in mind, more may be organised, if you have any suggestions feel free to suggest :D everyone is encouraged to join the activities because:
1. You will learn something that is not inside the book.
2. Outdoor activities are good alternative to the studies, take some time to relax, this helps you to keep your mind fresh.
3. You can know more friends, we, IAC, are one family :)
4. Free! Free! Free! Don't worry about paying for the activities, they are free, Head of Programme will provide us some amount of money for activities ;)

Furthermore, these activities are for first semester of this year, which mean January to June :) we are also encouraged to have some activities with other business programmes' students, with this we are not left out by Inti.

In conclusion, we are still finding people for taking the post as secretary, if you are interested please say it :) all the best in your studies and if you have anything to discuss just post at our IAC wall, replies will be as soon as possible.

Skytrex

So, we've completed our trip to skytrex, our very first club event.

Thanks to everyone who participated, we had a great time.
A special shout out to Miss Su, our ACCA head of programme, who was able to make it for the event.

Here are some pics of the event.

To make things interesting, all participants were seperated into three teams, red, green and blue.
The teams:

Red team





Green team





Blue team



After organizing the teams, the lot of us were stuffed onto a bus and the journey to skytrex began.
