KAPLAN FINANCIAL ACCA P3 Key Examinable Areas for June 2009 NOTE: These should only be used in conjunction with proper studying. We cannot guarantee that these topics will appear in the actual exam as we have not seen the exam papers. Examiners are not predictable so it is vital that all core syllabus areas are revised fully. The tips are based on Kaplan’s experience and understanding of the ACCA exams and will help focus your last minute revision. Please also read all the Examiner’s Articles – available on the ACCA website or in the Student Accountant magazine. The examiner confirmed at the 2009 conference that the nature of the paper will change from June 09 – any part of the syllabus can feature in the compulsory questions and strategic analysis will begin to feature more often as an option question. Section A Expect Question 1 to focus mainly on strategic implementation rather than strategic choice. Expect to see: ? Strategy evaluation ? Business process change ? Strategy and people (possibly job design) Section B Section B will combine all elements of the syllabus (strategic analysis, choice and implementation). Topics could include: ? Strategic position analysis ? Stakeholders ? E-marketing ? Quality ? Project management
