Management Accounting Financial Strategy

Approximately three to four months after each exam we produce a post exam guide for each subject in the Professional qualification. They are essential reading – and are best used with the relevant exam paper.

The guides look at each question in detail, highlight common mistakes and give suggested approaches. They cover:

  • the rationale for each question
  • the suggested approach to answering each question
  • the marking guide
  • the examiner’s comments
