2020年山东省ACCA国际会计师考场规则,可以带计算器!
发布时间:2020-01-09
ACCA考场规则是什么呢?跟国内考试的规定有区别吗?这些问题是许多即将参加2020年3月份ACCA考试的同学们最关心的问题,害怕自己辛辛苦苦准备了几个月之久的考试就因为一个不小心触犯了相关的规定,那就得不偿失了。接下来,51题库考试学习网为大家盘点历年来ACCA考试的相关规定,希望大家引以为戒,小心不要触犯哟~
具体点来说,ACCA考试的考场规则主要分为两部分,一个就是进入考场前,另一个就是进入考场之后
ACCA考前规则:
1.考生须在开始考试之前30分钟到达ACCA考试地点,以免在出现突发情况。监考老师对考生进行核查考生本人身份证、ACCA注册号。
2.考生可选择开考前进行网上测试(见机考中心通知),也可选择开考前1小时到达考点,在机考中心进行测试,熟悉机考流程。(建议考生最好选择前者,后者可能出现在机考中心测试的人数太多而不能及时测试导致不熟悉机考流程的情况)
3.考生在考试开始前15分钟经过监考老师批准方可进入考场。逾时不得再进入考场。
4. 考生在到达考场并进行签到后,如因特殊原因需要离场,请主动联系监考人员,不得擅自离开,经过监考老师允许之后才可以离开。
5. 最好不要携带贵重物品前往考场,丢失了后果自负的。
注意:ACCA机考必须带那些东西
首先是自行在官网上打印的准考证其次就是身份证再是可以携带不带有记忆存储功能的计算器。(如考生有携带手机、包包等私人物品,请将其放至监考老师指定区域。)
进入考场后的规则
1.考生进入考场后必须把考试相关书籍材料等放到指定位置,并将手机等通讯设备关闭。考生只允许携带考试规定携带的东西进入考场,例如本人身份证、笔、单功能计算器进入考场,一经发现,按作弊处理。
2.考试开始前,监考人员会宣读考场纪律;考生需要在电脑上输入个人信息,监考人员会核对考生的身份;身份核对后,电脑上会显示出3页考试操作指南,考生仔细阅读,阅读完毕之后,举手向监控人员请示,得到监考人员的允许后才可点击考试科目,开始考试。
3.考试开始时,题目会直接在屏幕上显示,请直接在电脑上输入答案。不能点开电脑里的其他软件
4.考试结束后,需要打印2份考试成绩通知单,自己保留一份,机考中心保留一份。
5.机考中心会在考试结束后上传考试成绩,72小时内成绩会上传到考生的MYACCA成绩记录中。
6.考试费用一旦交付,如因考生自身原因缺考,作弃权处理,不须考虑退款事宜。因此建议各位考生要谨慎报名,毕竟考试费用也是一笔不小的费用。
7.ACCA机考中心保留因不可抗力因素(如网络问题,停电等)调整机考时间或取消考试的权力。出现了以上情况,及时向监考人员反映,他们会为你解决问题。
迟到及提早交卷规定:
在开考后1小时内到达的迟到考生可以入场,但不能补偿考试时间。简单的来说就是即便是晚到1小时,你的考试时间也不会往后延时1小时,交卷铃声响起你同样得交卷。而开考1小时以后到达的考生就算做放弃此次考试,不能入场。
这些考场规则有没有帮助到各位ACCAer们呀?相信大家看了之后或多或少对ACCA考场规则都有了一定的了解,51题库考试学习网提醒大家,认真阅读考场规则,如果和上面所述的规则有一定的出入,各地的相关考场规则以各地的为准,最后51题库考试学习网预祝大家考试顺利上岸~
下面小编为大家准备了 ACCA考试 的相关考题,供大家学习参考。
(ii) Write a letter to Donald advising him on the most tax efficient manner in which he can relieve the loss
incurred in the year to 31 March 2007. Your letter should briefly outline the types of loss relief available
and explain their relative merits in Donald’s situation. Assume that Donald will have no source of income
other than the business in the year of assessment 2006/07 and that any income he earned on a parttime
basis while at university was always less than his annual personal allowance. (9 marks)
Assume that the corporation tax rates and allowances for the financial year 2004 and the income tax rates
and allowances for 2004/05 apply throughout this question.
Relevant retail price index figures are:
January 1998 159·5
April 1998 162·6
(ii) [Donald’s address] [Firm’s address]
Dear Donald [Date]
I understand that you have incurred a tax loss in your first year of trading. The following options are available in respect
of this loss.
1. The first option is to use the trading loss against other forms of income in the same year. If such a claim is made,
losses are offset against income before personal allowances.
Any excess loss can still be offset against capital gains of the year. However, any offset against capital gains is
before both taper relief and annual exemptions.
(a) The following figures have been calculated from the financial statements (including comparatives) of Barstead for
the year ended 30 September 2009:
increase in profit after taxation 80%
increase in (basic) earnings per share 5%
increase in diluted earnings per share 2%
Required:
Explain why the three measures of earnings (profit) growth for the same company over the same period can
give apparently differing impressions. (4 marks)
(b) The profit after tax for Barstead for the year ended 30 September 2009 was $15 million. At 1 October 2008 the company had in issue 36 million equity shares and a $10 million 8% convertible loan note. The loan note will mature in 2010 and will be redeemed at par or converted to equity shares on the basis of 25 shares for each $100 of loan note at the loan-note holders’ option. On 1 January 2009 Barstead made a fully subscribed rights issue of one new share for every four shares held at a price of $2·80 each. The market price of the equity shares of Barstead immediately before the issue was $3·80. The earnings per share (EPS) reported for the year ended 30 September 2008 was 35 cents.
Barstead’s income tax rate is 25%.
Required:
Calculate the (basic) EPS figure for Barstead (including comparatives) and the diluted EPS (comparatives not required) that would be disclosed for the year ended 30 September 2009. (6 marks)

1 Stuart is a self-employed business consultant aged 58. He is married to Rebecca, aged 55. They have one child,
Sam, who is aged 24 and single.
In November 2005 Stuart sold a house in Plymouth for £422,100. Stuart had inherited the house on the death of
his mother on 1 May 1994 when it had a probate value of £185,000. The subsequent pattern of occupation was as
follows:
1 May 1994 to 28 February 1995 occupied by Stuart and Rebecca as main residence
1 March 1995 to 31 December 1998 unoccupied
1 January 1999 to 31 March 2001 let out (unfurnished)
1 April 2001 to 30 November 2001 occupied by Stuart and Rebecca
1 December 2001 to 30 November 2005 used occasionally as second home
Both Stuart and Rebecca had lived in London from March 1995 onwards. On 1 March 2001 Stuart and Rebecca
bought a house in London in their joint names. On 1 January 2002 they elected for their London house to be their
principal private residence with effect from that date, up until that point the Plymouth property had been their principal
private residence.
No other capital disposals were made by Stuart in the tax year 2005/06. He has £29,500 of capital losses brought
forward from previous years.
Stuart intends to invest the gross sale proceeds from the sale of the Plymouth house, and is considering two
investment options, both of which he believes will provide equal risk and returns. These are as follows:
(1) acquiring shares in Omikron plc; or
(2) acquiring further shares in Omega plc.
Notes:
1. Omikron plc is a listed UK trading company, with 50,250,000 shares in issue. Its shares currently trade at 42p
per share.
2. Stuart and Rebecca helped start up the company, which was then Omega Ltd. The company was formed on
1 June 1990, when they each bought 24,000 shares for £1 per share. The company became listed on 1 May
1997. On this date their holding was subdivided, with each of them receiving 100 shares in Omega plc for each
share held in Omega Ltd. The issued share capital of Omega plc is currently 10,000,000 shares. The share price
is quoted at 208p – 216p with marked bargains at 207p, 211p, and 215p.
Stuart and Rebecca’s assets (following the sale of the Plymouth house but before any investment of the proceeds) are
as follows:
Assets Stuart Rebecca
£ £
Family house in London 450,000 450,000
Cash from property sale 422,100 –
Cash deposits 165,000 165,000
Portfolio of quoted investments – 250,000
Shares in Omega plc see above see above
Life insurance policy note 1 note 1
Note:
1. The life insurance policy will pay out a sum of £200,000 on the death of the first spouse to die.
Stuart has recently been diagnosed with a serious illness. He is expected to live for another two or three years only.
He is concerned about the possible inheritance tax that will arise on his death. Both he and Rebecca have wills whose
terms transfer all assets to the surviving spouse. Rebecca is in good health.
Neither Stuart nor Rebecca has made any previous chargeable lifetime transfers for the purposes of inheritance tax.
Required:
(a) Calculate the taxable capital gain on the sale of the Plymouth house in November 2005 (9 marks)
Note that the last 36 months count as deemed occupation, as the house was Stuart’s principal private residence (PPR)
at some point during his period of ownership.
The first 36 months of the period from 1 March 1995 to 31 March 2001 qualifies as a deemed occupation period as
Stuart and Rebecca returned to occupy the property on 1 April 2001. The remainder of the period will be treated as a
period of absence, although letting relief is available for part of the period (see below).
The exempt element of the gain is the proportion during which the property was occupied, real or deemed. This is
£138,665 (90/139 x £214,160).
(2) The chargeable gain is restricted for the period that the property was let out. This is restricted to the lowest of the
following:
(i) the gain attributable to the letting period (27/139 x 214,160) = £41,599
(ii) £40,000
(iii) the total exempt PPR gain = £138,665
i.e. £40,000.
(3) The taper relief is effectively wasted, having restricted losses b/f to preserve the annual exemption.
One of your audit clients is Tye Co a company providing petrol, aviation fuel and similar oil based products to the government of the country it is based in. Although the company is not listed on any stock exchange, it does follow best practice regarding corporate governance regulations. The audit work for this year is complete, apart from the matter referred to below.
As part of Tye Co’s service contract with the government, it is required to hold an emergency inventory reserve of 6,000 barrels of aviation fuel. The inventory is to be used if the supply of aviation fuel is interrupted due to unforeseen events such as natural disaster or terrorist activity.
This fuel has in the past been valued at its cost price of $15 a barrel. The current value of aviation fuel is $120 a barrel. Although the audit work is complete, as noted above, the directors of Tye Co have now decided to show the ‘real’ value of this closing inventory in the financial statements by valuing closing inventory of fuel at market value, which does not comply with relevant accounting standards. The draft financial statements of Tye Co currently show a profit of approximately $500,000 with net assets of $170 million.
Required:
(a) List the audit procedures and actions that you should now take in respect of the above matter. (6 marks)
(b) For the purposes of this section assume from part (a) that the directors have agreed to value inventory at
$15/barrel.
Having investigated the matter in part (a) above, the directors present you with an amended set of financial
statements showing the emergency reserve stated not at 6,000 barrels, but reported as 60,000 barrels. The final financial statements now show a profit following the inclusion of another 54,000 barrels of oil in inventory. When queried about the change from 6,000 to 60,000 barrels of inventory, the finance director stated that this change was made to meet expected amendments to emergency reserve requirements to be published in about six months time. The inventory will be purchased this year, and no liability will be shown in the financial statements for this future purchase. The finance director also pointed out that part of Tye Co’s contract with the government requires Tye Co to disclose an annual profit and that a review of bank loans is due in three months. Finally the finance director stated that if your audit firm qualifies the financial statements in respect of the increase in inventory, they will not be recommended for re-appointment at the annual general meeting. The finance director refuses to amend the financial statements to remove this ‘fictitious’ inventory.
Required:
(i) State the external auditor’s responsibilities regarding the detection of fraud; (4 marks)
(ii) Discuss to which groups the auditors of Tye Co could report the ‘fictitious’ aviation fuel inventory;
(6 marks)
(iii) Discuss the safeguards that the auditors of Tye Co can use in an attempt to overcome the intimidation
threat from the directors of Tye Co. (4 marks)
