CASE STUDY
The aim of this module is to ensure that students can provide advice in respect of complex business issues in the form of a written report.
The objective of the Case Study is to assess students’ understanding of complex business issues and the ability to analyse financial and non-financial data, exercise professional and ethical judgement, and develop conclusions and recommendations.
METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
This module will be assessed by a 4-hour, computer-based exam. The Case Study will not require the detailed computations needed for the Certificate, Professional and Advanced Levels; but students will be required to undertake financial and business analysis.
Requirements will be open in that there will be no predetermined correct answers to the Case Study. All areas of the syllabus may be tested over time.
FORMAT
The Case Study scenario may be based on any one of a variety of different organisational structures or operations. Students will be provided with background details (‘Advance Information’) on the organisation and its business environment ahead of the exam. Students are then required to write a report to the board of the organisation, advising them on appropriate next steps.
The Advance information will not give specific indication of the eventual requirements of the Case Study. Students will be expected to familiarise themselves with the information provided about the organisation and the industry in which it operates, by undertaking detailed analysis of the Advance Information and some additional analysis and research where necessary. Students may take the results of their work into the exam.
Course Objective and Approach
The course is designed to prepare you for success in the Case Study exam. This is our key objective.
Success at the Case Study requires an integration of the technical knowledge and skills acquired from all of the ACA modules, namely:
- the core technical knowledge and skills and practical application acquired at the Certificate and Professional levels;
- the technical, analytical, evaluative and integration skills from Corporate Reporting and Strategic Business Management; and
- the advisory, judgemental and communication skills acquired through practical work experience gained during the training contract.
