Hi there,
I am looking for advice. I have been AAT qualified since 2011 and been working in various finance positions over the years.
I started studying CIMA in 2018 and passed E1 and F1 in May 2019. Due to various circumstances I stopped my studies.
I would very much like to resume my studies, self funded and would appreciate some advice.
As I have passed E1 and F1. I am looking to start with completing P2 in the first instance.
My question is: What would be my best approach to the case study? I am a bit unclear as to how approach this, I assume I will need to refresh my memory on E1 and F1 as well.
Many thanks and kind regards,
Steph
Hi Steph
Thanks for reaching out & its great you are getting back on track with your CIMA qual.
The good news is that P1 is the ‘lead paper’ for CIMA case study – so its brill that you are doing this just before you sit the case study because most of the technical stuff will come from your P1 studies so will be fresh in your mind.
For P1 I recommend our own resources obviously – also that you should buy a Kaplan texrt book / exam kit ( doesnt have to be brand new) just to supplement our notes & recordings on Open Tuitiion.
E1 takes a back seat role for casestudy and for F1 its the IFRS standards, ethics, corp governance , a little bit of taxation and working capital which are the most commonly examined areas. So considering case exams are in Feb, May, August & November – allowing a little time to refresh those areas (no calculations needed for the case study – just explanations and ‘application to the scenario.
Hope this helps and let me know anything else you need 🙂
