喜大普奔喜大普奔~前方高能預(yù)警!ACCA考試終于到了最后一天啦!高冷如高頓網(wǎng)校小編,也依然難掩心中的激(禮)動(拜)之(五)情(了)。今天的考試科目為F4、F9和P4,由于本次考試F4考的不是英國稅法,所以今天就來一發(fā)F9和P4的考點精煉。
我們先來分析一下F9的考題形式。F9也分為兩個part:Section A為選擇題,計算和理解各占一半,占比40分;Section B為有五道題,計算與論述六四開,占比60分。
下面是Section A中會涉及到的考點:
• Measuring financial objectives (Shareholder wealth; Profitability; Debt; Liquidity)
• Management reward scheme (PRP; shares; ESOPs)
• Not-for-profit organisations (Value for money)
• The role of government policies in achieving targets(Fiscal policy; Monetary policy)
• Role of financial intermediaries (Examples; Roles; Disintermediation)
• Monetary market and capital market instruments (Interest bearing vs Discount; OTC vs floor trading; Negotiable vs non-negotiable etc)
• Rate of interest of rate of return (Risk-return trade off; reverse yield gap)
而在Section A和Section B都會涉及到的考點中,我們可以分成Calculation、Discussion和Calculation&Discussion三種形式進行分類。
Calculation
• Inventory and receivable management
• ROCE; Payback period
• EAC; Lease or buy; Capital rationing
Discussion

• Business valuations using asset-based; earnings-based and cashflow-based methods
• Hedging exchange rate and interest rate risks methods
小伙伴們,再檢測一遍,F(xiàn)9的這些考點是否都掌握透徹了?在考場上,還是有一些得分技巧的,大家也不可忽略哦。比如在做Section A的時候,可以有這幾個小tips:排除明顯錯誤的選項、給出對應(yīng)的公式、著重關(guān)注關(guān)鍵詞、用你所知道的common knowledge。而在Section B部分,你可以先準備好核心知識點來處理簡單的問題、著重問題要求中的關(guān)鍵詞、將問題轉(zhuǎn)移到core knowledge,還有就是一定要看清題目的要求!
在P4中,我們也將一些會考的考點按照Calculation、Discussion和Calculation&Discussion進行分類。
Calculation
? Ratio analysis (Focus on value added comments); EVA
? FCF; FCFE
? NPV;MIRR; VAR; Duration

還有是All discussion topics:

4. Credit-default swap

6. Islamic finance
在答題的時候,預(yù)計留給Section A十分鐘的讀題時間和80分鐘的答題時間,在Section B用五分鐘的時間讀題并選題,給每道題留出至少50分鐘的作答時間。另外,準備好閱讀場景,找到場景中需要的信息,列出答題提綱這些都已是老生常談的ACCA考試技巧了,但大家仍然不可忽略,這些技能在考試中是有百利而無一害的。
隨著今天的落幕,2016年3月的ACCA考試也即將告一段落,希望這次考試,對有的人來說會是漫長征程的華麗終結(jié),對有的人來說是繼續(xù)前行的堅持力量,但愿在下月十八號傳來的都是讓人欣慰的好消息。
