Examiners' feedback

Students' weak spots are revealed by the experts

Financial instruments was a major weakspot for ACCA students who sat Paper 3.6 last December, according to examiners.

Students lack of knowledge about recent standards let them down. Many only answered three out of the four questions.

Other fundamental weaknesses in students' performance included questions on group reconstructions and case study-type questions.

Students were urged to increase their knowledge by reading more articles in professional journals and the accounting press.
