TOPCIMA

We produce a comprehensive post exam guide after each TOPCIMA exam - these are essential reading.

As the TOPCIMA exam is similar to the old Management Accounting Case Study exam from the 2000 syllabus, you can also find below the examiner’s reports from case study exams held between May 2001 and November 2004.

Use the reports along with the relevant past case study material, when preparing for the TOPCIMA exam.

We also published some guidance notes following the first two TOPCIMA exams (the May 2005 paper based exam and the September 2005 TOPCIMA on Computer pilot exam).

The guidance is of a general nature and is not related to any particular case. It is intended to be useful information for future TOPCIMA candidates and it summarises the advice given in already published examiner's reports.
