Content

This subject deals with the application of strategic management accounting techniques in different business contexts to contribute to the planning, control and evaluation of the performance of an organisation and its strategic and operational development.

Exams and sittings

Each session-based exam is a 3 hour long exam, which can be taken as a session CBE in specific regions or as a session paper exam. There are 4 exam sittings - March, June, September and December. As ACCA is phasing out paper-based exams, please be sure to check the ACCA website for the available papers in your region for your specific sitting.

Session-based exams are human-marked. You will receive your results from ACCA 5-6 weeks after the exam sitting.
