The section A question can be on any of the traditional higher-level group accounting topics that are not examinable in paper 2.5. Complex group structures, disposals of subsidiaries or a foreign subsidiary appear to be the most likely topics for this sitting.

ACCA Paper 3.5 Strategic Business Planning and Development
December 2005
Section A
Always difficult to predict the subject matter of the case scenario, and in last December it was rather unusually based around the control and management relationships within a large group structure of a manufacturing company. Therefore this time it might be something less complex in structure and based on the service sector.
Areas that could be included within the requirements could include
A discussion of the relative merits of different ways of making strategy
Stakeholder analysis and objective setting
Application of strategic analysis models
Evaluation of strategic objectives, using the numbers included
Marketing issues
52 World-Wide Agricultural, 51 Bethesda Heights, and 50 Playwell.
Section B
Marketing, including new product development. In part suggested by the recent article but also due the lack of marketing in the December 2004 exam.
24 Westport University, 26 Karaoke, 27 Product Launch, and 34 Sports Centre
Change management. This is feasible this time because it is an important subject, which has been absent for the past few sittings.
20 Apex Culture, and 49 Lionel Cartwright.
Globalisation strategy. The strategic development of global businesses was very popular when the paper was first introduced. It remains relevant and could be due another appearance.
41 Excalibur Sportswear, 42 Global Marketing, 43 Clothing Supply Company and 48 ALG Industries
Ethics and corporate social responsibility. With all of the talk (and recent cases) of corporate scandal ethical behaviour is a very topical area of the syllabus
16 Digwell, 17 Large Financial Services Company, and 18 Acquisition

ACCA Paper 3.4 Business Information Management
Dec 2005
Section A
The examiner tends to provide fairly lengthy case studies, which provide information about the business strategy, the IT history to date and the current situation.
As you are likely to be dealing with an organisation that needs to make decisions about its IT systems and strategies, questions are often based on strategic models and approaches from the syllabus.
Questions in the December 2005 exam could ask you to analyse an organisation's current position regarding its IT, perhaps using a model such as Porter's value chain (Q11). In order to tackle this type of question, you need to be able to recognise the relevant business strategy in order to make appropriate IT suggestions. Questions 51 and 52 are excellent ones to practice on this.
A key area that all students must focus on is how to develop a business case for Information Technology. IT facilitates business decisions, and the examiner is likely to ask you to analyse the key business issues. A key model to understand and use is ?Where We Are, Where We Want to Be, Going to Get There?, and it would be useful to review the first BIM exam paper set.
There could also be questions asking you to improve a project or development that is
experiencing problems (Q26, Q28)
Another key area to review would be the human and social issues relating to IT development, and the syllabus lists several change management theories, such as Lewin, which have yet to be examined.
Exam technique is extremely important in this paper, so working through as many case
studies as possible is to be advised. Questions 64-66 are the questions from the examiner's pilot paper.
Also be aware of articles relevant to your paper written near to the time of the exam. Before the June 2005 sitting the examiner wrote an article on Legacy Systems, which then appeared on the exam as a 12 mark question, in section A.
Section B
Section B questions could come from anywhere in the syllabus, and there are often questions which focus on one particular theory. The examiner also uses these questions to get candidates to bring in 'real-life' examples, to illustrate theories, so be sure to have at your fingertips some examples which you can use, either from your own experience, or perhaps from other exam scenarios and questions which you have used. There is also usually one question with a mini-scenario that can be a good one to choose, as you have a context to work with. The examiner also uses section B to test knowledge about specific types of technology.
Key theories that need to be understood are those of Nolan, Parsons, Porter, Earl and
Zuboff, and reviewing past BIM papers can be extremely helpful to see the style of questions on these areas.
Key areas to cover in depth are as follows:
E-commerce is an area that usually appears on information papers (Q8)
The human impact of IT has not yet been examined extensively (Q31 &32)
Knowledge management is an area that may be prominent in future exams (Q5)

ACCA Paper 3.3 Performance Management
December 2005
General: The exam is often time pressured and careful planning is required to ensure marks are maximised in time allowed. The examiner has examined some of the key topic areas in a very practical way but this has often looked unusually challenging on first read through.
Section A
To date the large question in this section has contained some elements of budgeting (short term planning). This will be heavily numerical with a small written element.
55 Fork Lift Trucks, 61 Privmed, 62 Motor Breakdown Services
The shorter question has often tackled some element of performance measurement with the majority of the marks being for numerical analysis.
45 Eatwell Restaurant, 41 Management Accounting and the Public Sector
Section B
There is usually a high discursive element in this section with 2 questions being wholly or almost wholly discursive. If it has not made an appearance in Section A performance measurement will make an appearance here.
Many of the modern management and management accounting techniques have been examined here;
12 Costs and Quality, 54 Activity Based Budgeting
Numerical topics do still appear in this area, topics that have not appeared for a little while include transfer pricing (which can also include qualitative issues) and uncertainty in decision-making.
75 Tannadens Division, 33 UKCOM
Relevant Articles
The examiner has often used his most recent article to set a question. Look out for any articles in the second half of the year.

ACCA Paper 2.6 Audit & Internal Review
December 2005
The following list is an idea of the type of questions that may come up in the coming exam. The list highlights areas of the syllabus and how they may well be tested.
Please note that there was a new examiner in June 2005
Internal audit/ Internal review
Following the new examiner's recent article on how the internal audit department can assist in corporate governance and risk management, this was tested in June 2005. Note that in addition to a specific question on internal audit or reviews conducted by internal or external staff, questions could be in the form of a report to management on control weaknesses with recommendations, very similar in substance to that produced by an external auditor (see Systems and Controls below)
Q7 Internal Auditors, Q8 Roxy Hotels)
Substantive testing
This will be in the exam, but what will be tested?
In June 2005 sales and tangible assets were tested.
In December 2004 substantive testing of payroll balances was tested (Q4).
In June 2004 inventories (stock) (Q3) and payables (creditors) and accruals (Q4) came up.
In December 2003 payroll audit was tested (Q2).
In June 2003, Inventories (stock) (Q2) and provisions were tested (Q3).
In the December 2002 exam, payables (creditors) (Q3) and inventories (stock) were tested (Q5).
In June 2002 cash was tested (Q2) and
In December 2001 receivables (debtors) were tested (Q4).
That would appear to leave non-current (fixed) assets, bank/cash and receivables (debtors) as likely candidates for examination this time round.
Q38 Springfield Nurseries, Q43 Goodfoot & Q45 Villawood Computers
Systems and controls
Again this topic will be included in the exam in some format.
In June 2005 Q3 was centred around a complex computer system. The examiner has warned that computers will be expected to feature in scenarios.
In December 2004 Q3 risks from a scenario had to be spotted, and controls recommended.
In June 2004, they came up in the context of outsourced catering and payroll (Q5). In December 2003 controls over payroll were tested in Q2 and Q1 included controls over business risks in the areas of human resources, procurement and marketing.
In June 2003, controls over non-current (fixed) assets were tested (Q6).
In the December 2002 exam the sales system was tested (Q2).
In June 2002 the cash system was tested (Q2) and in December 2001 Purchases/ capital expenditure were tested (Q3).
Any of these could come up again: the purchases/payables and sales/receivables systems looking the most likely.
Q32 Cosmo & Q27 Internal Control Systems
Planning and risk assessment (from a scenario)
risk in one form or another comes up at every sitting.
It is one of the key stages of the audit, but can also be examined in the context of a company's business risk as it was in June 2004.
In June 2005 Q1 was a straightforward question looking for risks from a simple scenario.
In December 2004, Q2 was centred around planning and the information you require, and Q1 was about spotting the risks of fraud and error.
Q17 EWheels & Q18 Nepco
Professional ethics
This is a core area not examined at the last 3 sittings. It is still a topical issue with all of the recent corporate collapses bringing the independence and professionalism of their advisors into question.
Recently, confidentiality came up in December 2003 (Q6), conflicts of interest in June 2003 (Q3) and objectivity in December 2002 (Q1).
Any independence issues would be ripe for examination again at this sitting.
Q10 Billington Travel & Q11 Manly
Audit/ Assurance Reports
This is a very important area of the syllabus, it is deliverable from the end of all assurance engagements. You also need to be aware of the differences between internal audit reports/ external audit reports and other assurance reports such as review reports. It was tested in June 2005 as an unpopular optional question asking for errors in a given audit report.
It has been tested in December 2003 (Q3 b and c), June 2003 (Q3c and Q5), June 2002 (Q3b) and December 2001 (Q5), but not in the last few sittings.
Q54 Audit and Review Reports, Q55 Cremorne
Parts of questions
The following topics could form discrete parts of questions at this sitting:
fraud,
management representations,
audit regulation,
materiality,
e-technology (see article below)
so make sure you are up to speed on these areas.

December 2005 Exam Tips
Section A
Question 1
Section A will comprise one compulsory question that will examine
group accounting. Group accounting is a core area and this question could ask you to produce a consolidated balance sheet and/or income statement (profit & loss account) with one subsidiary and possibly an associate or joint venture.
It usually includes adjustments for items such as:
fair value
unrealised profit on inventories (stock) or tangible assets
cancellation of intragroup trading
goods/cash in transit
pre-acquisition dividends.
Part (b) of the question usually includes a related discussion element.
2005 P&R Kit Questions:
Mock Exam 1 Q1 (Horsefield),
Mock Exam 2 Q1 (Hydrate), Holding, Augment, Hanford.
Section B
Section B will comprise four questions out of which candidates should select three questions. The examiner, Steve Scott has stated that the style of the paper will remain fairly static:
Question 2
Question 2 will be preparation/restatement of an income statement (profit & loss account) and/or balance sheet. This question normally requires adjustments for depreciation, tax and dividends. Other adjustments may relate to debt factoring or other substance over form issues, finance leases, financial/capital instruments, share issues and inventory (stock) valuation. There may be further disclosure requirements re discontinued operations or an earnings per share calculation.
2005 P&R Kit Questions:
Mock Exam 1 Q2 (Deltoid),
Mock Exam 2 Q2 (Bloomsbury), Larcher, Telenorth.
Question 3
Question 3 will be a written question examining theoretical/conceptual areas or accounting standards. This could be on tangible or intangible assets, impairments, accounting policies or leases with reference to the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements (Statement of Principles).
2005 P&R Kit Questions:
Broadoak ('FRS 15' in the UK Variant kit),
Q3 Mock Exam 2 (Atkins).
Question 4
Question 4 is likely to examine interpretation and/or cash flow statements. There could also be a discursive part on why, for example, related party or discontinued operations disclosures are useful.
2005 P&R Kit Questions:
Charmer, Q4 Mock Exam 1 (Judicious),
Q4 Mock Exam 2 (Nedberg).
Question 5
Question 5 has no specified format or content and will cover other areas of the syllabus. The examiner frequently includes a 'mixed bag' question, which examines three or four different accounting standards.
Possibilities this sitting include:
deferred tax, construction contracts,
segment reporting,
events after the balance sheet date,
governments grants,
financial/capital instruments,
discontinued operations or substance over form issues.
2005 P&R Kit Questions:
Multiplex,
Deferred tax,
Diversity,
