    What a trash paper ACCA. I mean truly now why would you give only few people the hardest paper in history and allocate 38 flippen marks to ONE SINGLE QUESTION on change and intraprenuership. Really UNFAIR!!!!!!!!!!

    I am praying to my Gods and ancestors I’ve passed. It’s my last paper.

    I thought paper was fair. Contextual features threw me a bit. Also exhibits were mixed which is rare

    That 38 marks Intrapreneurship question requires more knowledge to get done the requirements otherwise I found the exam OK!

    I hated the question on Intrapreneurship especially part b. I started talking about change management and how the CPO has not come up with a proper plan to change the culture such as the timing, cost & benefit analysis etc etc. how many marks would I get for just talking about the poor change management ?

    I can’t believe they put 18 marks (not including prof marks) on that. I hope I’ve passed

    Same. I was not sure whether to apply change management or focus on internal factors given the professional skills were “skepticism”. Ah hoping for a pass. Glad it’s all over now.

    Did anyone encounter issue with copy and paste function? Mine was not functioning as the CBE practice platform. Pasted exhibits appeared in a different font and size (original: Calibri size 11; pasted: Times New Roman size 10, I guessed) and did not follow normal lines, but scattered with messy spacing and layout. This took so much time to manually reformat.

    I’m concerned if the examiner also see the same inconsistent font and size or it would be misprocessed into codes?? Should I message them or something

    I had these questions:
    Q1 – Proposal + Tech
    Q2 – Intrapreneurship + culture
    Q3 – Risks

    Did anyone use the PESTEL, Porters 5 forces or Diamond in this paper?

    I thought Q1 and Q3 were fair but I felt like could write a lot more than time allowed for in the exams. Q2 really threw me off and 38 marks on culture change intrepreneurship stumped me- I linked to some of the elements in bolugon&hope model which I feel most people would’ve done just considered internal issues such as capabilities, resources, reluctance to change etc.

    Here’s what I got and what I remember from the paper:

    SBL Paper

    Question 1 – 18 marks
    Report on on CFO option 1- new investment in new product intelligent shoes or option 2: acquisition of kind shoes

    1b- 15 marks
    Briefing notes: 3 potential tech investments and how they will help the risks in risk register in preseen (robotic processing, AI try on shoes and website development)

    Question 2 – 38 marks
    38 marks on change of culture to that of an intrepreunership culture

    A- 2 slides advantages and disadvantages of this culture change

    B- briefing notes – factors affecting this and judgement on will it be successful?
    (Hinted at Bolugon and hope model I think?)

    Question 3- 18 marks

    Internal control weakness from exhibit and recommend mitigations

    Exhibit 1- news article (not linked to any question but reference on issues with co not investing but saying staff were still loyal and confident

    Exhibit 2- CFO option 1 option 2 proposal

    Exhibit 3- technology investment options

    Exhibit 4- internal control weakness report in R&D department

    I thought I had missed a question at the end of the exam , so I did not realize it was only one question for 38 marks. So, it was about analysing Dearn’s product portafolio and strategy to used for growing, if I recall well.

    Emily1 I had the same issue — I couldn’t type quickly because the letters were delayed, and it was lagging badly. Eventually, the invigilator ended my session, and I’m now rescheduled to write again on Friday through contingency. If I were you, I’d definitely submit a mitigating circumstances form, just in case — especially considering the time it took you to fix the formatting.

    By the way, did everyone get the same set of questions with intrapreneurship culture etc?
    I’m pretty sure I had questions about bribery, fraud, and online expansion.

    Thanks
