Don't know if anyone else has had issues or whether I've been banned for asking the wrong questions or removed because I've resigned my membership but if anyone else is with the IFA and is a member of their group on Linkedin can you just take a look to see if the group is actually still there? Yesterday it w...

hi at the moment I am trying to learn how to use sage and I think this software is terrible. Well, I don't have any point of reference cause I don't know other accounting software but my first impression is that this software is really terrible. Who shares the same opinion and why?

Curious as to peoples experience of distance learning with the different providers - i.e. where people felt the service provided exceeded or fell short of their expectations; why they chose their provider, etc?

Hi. After an opinion on the following please..? I took my AAT exams a LONG time ago - 1997 to be precise! At the time, I was planning on going on to CIMA/ACCA, so didn't become an MAAT.
