So, here we go... Book collection for the AAFRP next weekend.

Anyone else struggling to decide on an elective? I work in audit but I can't see myself staying there beyond training contract, and think the material in APM is just more interesting than the Audit elective. Such a difficult decision though, and I don't want to pick one and be regretting it this time next year.

Just read it. I'll be interesting to read the examiners comments on ours now.

Def wont, I had my diary completed and I still failed!

If I fail I'll have to change, as APM is going (won't have time to do it in Jan, I'll just be back from honeymoon )

What would you change to? I've a very bad feeling about the results!!

Just had a look at the new syllabus for Advisory, looks to pretty much be APM under a different name

Won't impact results. My diary hasn't been updated since Feb 17 so I've a lot to do :sideways:
Not much point worrying until you get results. I'd contemplate starting with a new subject if I got <40%

Does everyone have their diaries up to date? I have them done but not uploaded on the website

I broke my heart the last few weekends but I have them up to date at last! You can't change the start dates on entries anymore, but the Training Support people in CAI can help with that.

The next issue is trying to grab my mentor for review and sign offs....

Yeah, keeping audit and tax, scrapping APM, introducing financial services elective and I think a strategy one

Edit: pixie beat me to it! And has the full info

"The new education programme will be ready for the start of the 2018/19 academic year. Major changes include:
• Three new final-year (FAE) electives, in Financial Services, Public Sector and Advisory
• The Public Sector elective will be delivered in collaboration with Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA), while the Financial Services elective is in partnership with the Institute of Banking. The existing Advanced Performance Management elective will be re-designed and re-named as ‘Advisory’ to focus on commercial decision-making"

Was waiting for an investment appraisal question that never came.

The only good thing is if everyone found it difficult they will likely take that into consideration when marking. Also they are stopping APM this year so they won't want a lot of people resitting it I'm hoping.

Just don't forget to mention it in the survey. Closes Wednesday at noon

No, not thinking about it. Dissecting any of them isn't going to help anyone. You've done your best, it's out of your hands now. Same for all of us

I know your right but it’s so difficult to switch off - best of luck to all

Easier today than yesterday I thought. Hopefully done enough to pass.

Funny, myself and my friends found the comp technically easier. Just comes down to what suits you individually.

2 down, hopefully I can bin the notes after the results haha.

Can't wait to get rid of all these notes
