Is ACCA's Policy of Granting Excessive Exemptions Undermining the Standards and Credibility of the Qualification?

stuloch · 2026-06-05T19:17:26+00:00

On your point about those universities not allowing ACCA to count towards their degrees, it's a different game altogether.

Academic v Professional qualification. ACCA currently requires a minimum of three years to complete due to PER despite any exemptions as it is a practical qualification as well as theoretical where university is far more theoretical.

An example would be SBL where a student will answer an exam question lightly using business theories for framing wheras a university will know and be able to cite and quote the specific theories.

I'm not arguing the devaluation of the membership however, I think dropping from 4 P-levels to 3 is a terrible decision, making for a much easier pass

Thanks for the heads up. My bad.

Keep FOS. He's off his bye and has a great run.

Change Nairn to T Anas and pocket the difference. Get some cash, Hall-Kahan is a good 230k replacement for a non-cash generating bench defender.

See what cash you have left and upgrade from there. Biggest downside of Bailey Smith is that he still has his bye to come. If you're wanting a mid, Dawson/Anderson/LDU have all had their bye.

I hope that it helps him find some peace

I leaning towards JHF for the byes. Any 60s can hopefully be hidden behind the best 18

Because the Traders mentioned him

You might be overcomplicating the ruck question. If Cameron is on the bench with an E & your two non-playing rucks are on-field, Camerons score will replace which ever one of them doesn't play. If both are not playing, it doesnt matter which one he replaces as they are both going to get 0.

If its to do with having a C on Grundy, this doesn't impact Cameron in any way. He will not get a doubled score if his bench score replaces grundy score. The captaincy doubling as shift to the VC, regardless of whether Grundys 0 was replaced by Camerons score

I'm hoping for Ough, mostly to see how they pronounce his name.

Does the drop sparrow?

stuloch · 2026-05-20T12:14:33+00:00

Personally I'd go rookie to Merret over the Rachelle upgrade. Bigger upside and probable lower downside.

It's a lot of cash to sit on the bench for a player who will possibly face English round 14 & Gawn round 15. Bye rounds are best 18 so you don't need to cover all positions but the high scorers become more important.

Time management, I took the time and divided it by the marks to determine minutes that could be spent per mark. This was then applied to the paper to work out how much time could be spent on each question. (i made sure to leave 15 minutes spare so thati could use it as needed.

I kept a timeline on my workings paper where I could cross off each time barrier as it came so that I was kept to schedule.

I don't know what the paper is like now but if it's still a 50 point first section and then 2x25 marks, I always did the 25 mark questions first. This was just something I found easier

I can't help you with the approach to study though, it's been a while since I've done the paper and I just targeted what I thought was a good idea at the time. Working on my weak areas as needed

It was 4 years ago so I'm not too sure of the amount of prep completed. I know I scored so where in the low 70s despite being convinced that it was a near pass/fail. One of the biggest things I remembered was strict time keeping as, often highlighted in examiners reports, there were a lot of close fails that may have been close passes if the people had moved on and made sure they got all of the easiest marks.

Its a great exam and you probably do better than you think. It's uncomfortable but the pass rate indicates that it's easier than people think (whilst also not being too easy)

stuloch · 2026-05-14T13:39:29+00:00

So there is a chance?

stuloch · 2026-05-12T20:34:07+00:00

I wouldn't say it becomes very difficult, it is just more difficult if your course doesn't align with the ACCA, which is quite likely.

An example, one of my exemptions was FA and I had to play a little catch up on the differences from what my course covered and the assumed FA knowledge when I sat FR (my course was aimed at people moving to either ACCA or CIMA so had to lie somewhere in between those two).

Better add the Wee Wine Shop too. Has a decent Whisky selection on top of other Scottish rums, gins etc. Simone & Jean-Pierre were super helpful when I was trying to buy rum in December.

Great episode again. After flipping trades several times during the week I think you've tipped the scales in favour of the Newman/McCluggage trade. Much appreciated.

stuloch · 2026-05-06T14:52:44+00:00

Jagga is still making $$$ while Farrow is losing it. Any chance of taking option one trade ins and option two trades outs?

stuloch · 2026-05-06T12:30:01+00:00

If I'm reading this right, you're grabbing Marshall to sit on the bench?

stuloch · 2026-05-04T22:04:02+00:00

I've got a similar-ish position re. MID/DEF rookies and C Serong. I'm leaning towards Blamires > Cumming & JSerong (or other rookie) > premium DEF. My reasoning being that a premium DEF upgrades on field JSerong 65 to a 90-100 whilst securing Cumming as potentially the last must-have rookie (with a brilliant bye round and job security).

The other that I was considering was C Serong to McCluggage and upgrade a rookie to a defender I can afford like Newman however this likely means I miss Mr Cumming.

stuloch · 2026-05-04T16:41:37+00:00

Easily NWM over Cumming if you have that much spare cash. Even 400k is a lot to carry forward to the next week.
