Proffessional Ethics Help with Revision?

Luby

I am currently looking at professional ethics and am just lost at how to revise for this subject. My tutor has given me two booklets totalling 120 pages and whenever i start to read these i get a few pages in and lose interest and feel none of the information is going in. Does anybody know any sites where there are interactive quizzes available? I have already done the two on osborne books and the aat scenario questions. Any other material would be appreciated

Thanks

Do you have access to a library? I used the Osborne Tutorial & workbook, which were good, and if you could borrow them that would help.

Hello

I don't have any material as such for this module, however there are some excellent resources on the AAT website.

Try the following - they are great fun to work through and really make you think about the issues involved.

https://www.aat.org.uk/myaat/content/item2500/ You will need to access using your MyAAT login. This link will also allow you to link/download the AAT Guidance on Professional Ethics.

This link https://www.aat.org.uk/myaat/content/item12696/ will give you access to four lectures, a quiz and a case study review.

Hope the above helps.

Best wishes.

Thank you both I will look at trying to borrow the osborne book as i begrudge buying one in all honesty, those links were very helpful Jo thanks especially the lecture ones I hadn't found them myself.

Jo Clark

You're most welcome Luby - 'tis my pleasure to have helped and as I have said in another post - if I can help others I will

Hiya!

I sat my ethics exam a few weeks ago and i found the Kaplan book useful. Hope that helps

Is that just the Kaplan Study book? I am studying from home through Kaplan and this is my last exam at this level. I have found all the other exams ok, but this unit is so boring and it's been hard getting things to sink in. My exam is the 28th April.

Hi Lisa. It was the combined text and workbook i used. Its the new one out. I borrowed it from the college library. IO found that a great help

Good luck with your revising and be sure to let us know how you get on.

Good luck

Hi folks,

Is this Unit 32 you're talking about, under the old standards? If so I found the BPP Passcards for this unit really good.

I'm the same as you, just pages and pages of words, theory and paragraphs, and I wasn't taking things in. But the Passcards condensed it and made it more manageable - definitely helped me pass.

Hope it goes well, don't give up :-)

Hi Jo,
Thanks for that, i will let you know how i do. Numbers i don't seem to struggle with, reading text especially when it's not really interesting reading and remembering it is more difficult for me. Did you do ok with your exam?

A lot of people are mentioning the BPP pass cards are helpful for this unit. I think i will try and track some doewn this wkd. I have got the little book from Kaplan that comes with the workbook but anything that helps has to be a bonus.

I will be glad when this unit is finished.

Thanks i have the osbourne book now and will look at reading through that if only this was an interesting subject haha. May try and find the BPP Cards if lots of people are recommending them, anything to reduce it down from 85pages :S.

Does anyone know what

P
P
D
C
I
O

stands for I can only remember about halve (Objectivity, Confidentiality, Integrity, Due Care?, Professional Behaviour & ??)

I remember reading this somewhere but now can't find it.

Thanks for all the help hopefully be well equipped for my exam

Hello Luby

When I studied Professional Ethics I learnt the following - PIPCO

Professional Competence and Due Care
Integrity
Professional Behaviour
Confidentiality
Objectivity

The D in your list is linked with one of the two "P"

Also try using ASIFS for the threats to the principles -

Advocacy
Self Interest
Intimidation
Familiarity
Self Review


Hope this helps.

Haha, Jo you teased me with this- by not revealing, but now I know! Very useful way of remembering.. hopefully!! Thanks x

Jo Clark

Ooops - sorry Becca - thought you may have read this in your BPP book.

If I think of anymore I'll let you know

Moment of truth

My tutor finally gave me the osbourne book (only two weeks before the exam) and it is PPCIO the D is part of one the Ps as you said. No wonder i couldnt find it again. Thank you all for your help today is the big day to find out if its all worked. 2 and a 1/2 hours away from my exam :S nervous now haha

Luby
you'll be fine,
they may ask you for the D they did in mine so dont forget due Care
and remember everything stems from the fundamental principles and independence
Ifs it unlawful its unethical
and if you dont want to stand up and defend yourself or you dont know how its probably unethical or at least gives you doubt
good Luck

BeccaLouJ9

Good Luck, I did this yesterday and passed! Yay! And although it was slightly harder than the practice ones I've tried it wasn't too bad! Be confident in your answers- in this one a couple of the options for the questions could be right, in my opinion, so make sure you are completely sure of your answer! You'll be fine!

Good Luck!!

Hey BeccaLouJ9
congrats thats brilliant.
It was one of those I was not really sure about starred at paper for ages before writing but then had to write so fast as nearly ran out of time that my hand was killing me for days.
Anyway is this the new or the old
submitted mine 10 days ago still not heard hate the wait to be honest especially when just not sure of the outcome. its the last one I have to do and all I hve left is Unit 10

BeccaLouJ9

It was the new one. I did it at 1.30 and looked online at 5.00 and my result was on my Statement of Acheivement.

Obviously there was no writing for my one because it was computer based, but I wonder how different it must have been to yours presumably on the Old Standard?! Luckily I only took 20 mins, so not even achey fingers from typing for too long!

Fingers Crossed for your Results!!

pirate

Hey there is something to be said for the new standards then
It took me the full three hours of solid writing

I was going to go to the new standards so instead of doing 3 skills tests Ie unit 31 part 2 and 3 and Professional Ethics I would have had to do Spreadhseets and Prof Ethics, but as I had paid for the old books and learning decided to continue.

well done though another one in the bag absolutely fab

Thanks JC for posting these links. I've found them really useful. There are a good way of aiding learning. I was only able to find them by clicking on the links, not from My AAT for soe reason. Are there any for any of the other units?
I'm hoping to get this skills test out of the way in the next week or so (old style) then just Audit to go (thats hoping that I passed Cash Management and credit control!). Oh,and unit 10 project still hanging over my head!

try https://www.aat.org.uk/myaat/unit/elearningzone/

Good luck on passing all your units

BeccaLouJ9

I tried that link above before, is it only for old standard? I can't find new standard in the drop down?

Passed

First time ive been on here since sitting my exam and Yep i passed I must confess i was 50/50 whether I had passed. Couldnt believe some of the questions it seemed nothing like the practice papers there were so many technical questions on mine that had definate answers not as many work situation questions as i expected but its over with for now ... and yes pirate you get the results instantly with the new way of doing them on CBA which is good when it works but i hear Lvl 4 had a lot of problems with there CBA's causing a few failures thankfully I never experienced any problems with mine. Two more units left both to be sat on the 21/06/2011 and I will have passed this level
