BPP Tips:


The areas that we would expect to see most regularly in the exam are:

Performance Measurement - questions are likely to include interpretation of given data and also a discussion of the value of or suggested non financial measures (a typical question from the April 2007 BPP Study Text is pilot paper Q4) The discussion elements of such a question could be practiced by looking at appropriate questions such as (question 18 Springfrom the April 2007 BPP Study Text)

o Budgeting - questions may focus on implications of differing budget approaches and their impacts on motivation. The conflict between ZBB and incremental budgeting is also likely to be explored (see April 2007 BPP Study Text question 13 ZeroBased Budgeting)

o Modern cost management techniques - are likely to feature frequently involving both calculation and discussion requirements (see April 2007 BPP Study Text question 3 Abkaber)

o Decision making techniques - particularly involving relevant costs, scarce resources and pricing decisions (see April 2007BPP Study Text question 8 RAB Consulting and question 9 Plastic Tools)

o Variance analysis - particularly mix and yield along with interpretation of variances

Unfortunately no. The tips are just what the preparers think that the examiner will put in the exam. No one knows exactly what it will be except the examiner. As an example, one of my colleagues has taken F8 yesterday and none of the tips were correct. So....

Hi

Getting a little bit stuck on my advanced variances....actually a lot stuck! Tearing my hair out because it all seems to be different calculations for different examples. Does anyone have any tips for me?
