ACCA P4 Key Examinable Areas for December 2011
The examiner has expressed his desire to move the paper away from the highly technical papers set by the previous examiner and to make them more strategic and practical. This has been afeature of the last 2 exam papers in December 2010 and June 2011.
At the March 2011 ACCA Lecturers’ Conference, the examiner explained that question spotting is dangerous at this level – it is important that students should study all parts of the syllabus in detail.
However, for December 2011, we would advise students to focus on the following core syllabus
topics in particular:
Net Present Value – including foreign currency cash flows
Bond yields and bond values
Risk adjusted WACC
Discussion of financing options
Interest rate hedging – options, futures and FRAs
