    I think paper was quite different from past sittings…………but not a bad one…I think it was lot more easy to do if you understand th ewordings…
    Q1 was based upon a previous article upon csfs and everything was there what examiner has asked….building monitoring csf as…
    Q2 a was bit confusing what to do ….I ended up with low cost in abc so recoomended to lower the price so that benefit from future compititors.
    b was beyond budgeting… so was nice…def..principles…drawbacks of traditional budgets …and some realtions with scenario….

    Q3 a VBM…measuring value of company by future cash flow…..value mindset…link with performance management..
    b EVA very easy calculation EPS share price…but struggled to write more except two three points…
    c) again linking eva to cash flow as eva has same logic as NPV and difference in traditional profil measures…
    I did Q 5.was running out of time so wrote very few points on each parts although if enough time was there was a easy one….
    overall marking should be easy as paper was different and was not as expected…

    .both jobs are demanding and no one person would be able to do both jobs well
    .no one person will have unfettered powers of decision making
    . if the board led by CEO than the board will be ineffective in controlling CEO
    . seperation of role would avoid conflict of interest.
    . chairman is responsible to provide timley and accurate info to the board, if it is led by CEO, the sufficiecy and objectivity ofinfo could be questionable.
