ACCA2019-2020MA（F2）考试大纲，速看！

发布时间：2019-07-19

2019-2020年的考试大纲已经上线了，小编特地整理了MA（F2）科目的考纲变动细节情况给大家，具体内容如下。

一、科目关联(Relation Diagram)

Management Accounting(MA)《管理会计》课程中的相关知识首先与Performance Management(PM)《业绩管理》和Advanced Performance Management(APM)《高级业绩管理》这两门科目中的知识有所关联。此外，还会涉及到一定的Strategic Business Leader(SBL)《战略商业报告》。

而在MA课程中学到的知识，将会运用到学员后续高阶课程的PM以APM科目的学习中。MA课程中的Part B最后一章节Alternative costing methods会出现在PM的Part A，Part E有关Performance management的部分会出现在PM以及APM课程里。

MA课程中为之后的PM课程以及高阶必修的SBR课程打下基础。而MA课程直接承接的是PM，二者紧密关联，MA培养学员基础的管理会计技巧和认知，PM以及APM则培养学员更高级、真实的业绩管理能力。所以对于后期选修对APM有兴趣的学员来说，MA更是极为重要的一门科目!

二、新课程框架和新考纲(New Framework and Syllabus)

整体变化是增加了一个版块，这个版块整合了关于Date analysis and statistical techniques的内容，同时又新增了一些这个内容的其他知识点。

第一个变化

新增版块Data analysis and statistical techniques成为了Part B部分。但是其他版块内容不变，以此往后顺延。由原来的Part A-Part E 5个Part的内容;变成了现在Part A-Part F 6个Part的内容。

第二个变化

将原来考纲Part C Budgeting中的Statistical techniques这个知识点放在了新考纲Part B Data analysis and statistical techniques的Forecasting techniques中。

第三个变化

新增了一部分的知识点。一个是Big data and analysis，放在了Part A The nature,source and purpose ofmanagement information的Sources of data中;一个是Summarising and analysing data，放在了Part B Date analysis and statistical technique。

对于此次考纲的调整，可以看出对Date analysis and statistical techniques进行了一个整合。内容基本不变，我们主要看的就是新增的知识点。

三、新增知识点1：Big data and analysis

考纲要求的是Describe the main uses of big data andanalytics for organisations。那也就是需要大家知道和分析大数据在企业中的用途。考试依然最多是以选择题形式进行考察。

四、新增知识点2：Summarising and analysing data

考纲要求：

a)Calculate the mean,mode and median forungrouped data and the mean for groupeddata.

b)Calculate measures of dispersion including thevariance,standard deviation and coefficient ofvariation both grouped and ungrouped data.

c)Calculate expected values for use in decisionmaking.

d)Explain the properties of a normaldistribution.

e)Interpret normal distribution graphs and tables

那么要求大家掌握的就是对均值、中位数、离散度、标准差、变异系数、均值及期望值等的计算。对正太分布图，要了解它的性质并能够解读其中的含义。考试通常会以计算分析等形式进行考察。

关于考试：

五、MA课程考试形式和分值分布：

Section A是35道2分的填空选择，一共70分;Section B是3道大题，每题10分，各来自Part C、D、E，也是填空选择的形式。

综合以上就是关于MA的考纲变化详情，希望能对各位小伙伴有用。

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) Suggest THREE other performance measures (not applied in (i)) which might be used to assess the

customer perspective of the balanced scorecard of GER. (3 marks)

正确答案：
(ii) Performance measures that may be used to assess the customer perspective of the balanced scorecard of GER include
the following:
Lost or damaged luggage per 1,000 passengers
Train cancellation rate
Denied boarding rate
Number of passenger complaints.
Note: Only three measures were required.

measures that could be undertaken by Debbie, quantifying the savings that can be made. (7 marks)

For this question you should assume that the rates and allowances for 2004/05 apply throughout.

正确答案：
(c) Debbie survives until July 2009
Debbie should consider giving away some of her assets to her children, while ensuring that she still has enough to live on.
Such gifts would be categorised as PETs. Although Debbie will not survive seven years (at which point the gifts would fall out
of Debbie’s estate for IHT purposes), taper relief will reduce the amount chargeable to IHT. If gifts were made prior to July
2005, 40% taper relief would be available.
It is important to remember that Debbie’s annual exemptions will reduce the value of any PET when assets are gifted. Debbie
has not used her annual exemption for the last two years, and so she can gift ￡6,000 (2 x ￡3,000) in the current tax year
as well as ￡3,000 per year in future tax years. Debbie could therefore give away ￡18,000, saving tax of ￡7,200 (￡18,000
x 40%). Debbie can also make small exempt gifts of up to ￡250 per donee per year.
Debbie should consider making gifts to Allison’s children instead of Allison (using, for example, an accumulation &
maintenance trust). This would ensure that the gifts were excluded from Allison’s estate.
It does not make sense for Debbie to gift shares in Dee Limited, as these qualify for full business property relief and therefore
are not subject to IHT.
As Andrew is shortly to be married, Debbie could give up to ￡5,000 in consideration of his marriage. This would save ￡2,000
in IHT.
Expenditure out of normal income is also exempt from IHT. This is where the transferor is left with sufficient income to
maintain his/her usual standard of living. Broadly, you need to demonstrate evidence of a prior commitment, or a settled
pattern of expenditure.
If substantial gifts are made, the donees would be advised to consider taking out insurance policies on Debbie’s life to cover
the potential tax liabilities that may arise on PETs in the event of her early death.

6 Certain practices have developed that threaten to damage the integrity and objectivity of professional accountants and

the reputation of the accounting profession.

Required:

Explain the following practices and associated ethical risks and discuss whether current ethical guidance is

sufficient:

(a) ‘lowballing’; (5 marks)

正确答案：
6 CERTAIN PRACTICES
Tutorial note: The answer which follows is indicative of the range of points which might be made. Other relevant material will
be given suitable credit.
(a) ‘Lowballing’
Explanation of term
‘Lowballing’ is the ‘loss-leading’ practice in which auditors compete for clients by reducing their fees for statutory audits.
Lower audit fees are then compensated by the auditor carrying out more lucrative non-audit work (e.g. consultancy and tax
advice). Audits may even be offered for free.
Such ‘predatory pricing’ may undercut an incumbent auditor to secure an appointment into which higher price consultancy
services may be sold.
Ethical risks
There is a risk of incompetence if the non-audit work does not materialise and the lowballing firm comes under pressure to
cut corners or resort to irregular practices (e.g. the falsification of audit working papers) in order to ‘keep within budget’.
However, a lack of audit quality may only be discovered if the situation arises that the company collapses and the auditors
are charged with negligence.
If, rather than comprise the quality of the audit, an audit firm substantially increases audit fees, a fee dispute could arise. In
this case the client might refuse to pay the higher fee. It could be difficult then for the firm to take the matter to arbitration
if the client was misled. Thus an advocacy threat may arise.
Financial dependence is a direct incentive that threatens independence. A self-interest threat therefore arises when, having
secured the audit, the audit firm needs the client to retain its services in order to recoup any losses initially incurred.
The provision of many other services gives rise to a self-review threat (as well as a self-interest threat).
Sufficiency of current ethical guidance
In current ethical guidance, the fact that an accountancy firm quotes a lower fee than other tendering firms is not improper,
providing that the prospective client is not misled about:
– the precise range of services that the quoted fee is intended to cover; and
– the likely level of fees for any other work undertaken.
This is clearly insufficient to prevent the practice of lowballing.
Legal prohibitions on the provision of many non-audit services (e.g. bookkeeping, financial information systems design and
implementation, valuation services, actuarial services, internal audit (outsourced), human resource services for executive
positions, investment and legal services) should make lowballing a riskier pricing strategy. This may curb the tendency to
lowball.
Lowballing could be eliminated if, for example, auditors were required to act ‘exclusively as auditors’. Although regulatory
environments have moved towards this there is not a total prohibition on non-audit services.
