ACCA P5模拟考试题及答案具体内容请看下文:Software Supplier SelectionIdeally, this process will revolve around the Invitation to Tender (ITT), which has set out the firm's functional, technical and contractual requirements such that the project team can compare competing solutions. The ITT may also be known as a Request for Proposal (RFP).Skidmore and Eva suggest a five-stage process for vendor selection.1.1. Obtaining tenders: The ITT will typically be sent to several companies with capability to deliver the system change and will include sections that describe the response process, the response format and key dates. In addition, the ITT will have the following sections:BackgroundSummary of current IT system(s)Key functional requirementsKey technical requirementsPrice considerationsRequest for references1.2. First-pass selection: For common, off-the-shelf systems, there may be many vendors that can supply the software. The first pass allows the selection committee to identify three to six suppliers that specify the best software solution, implementation process and value for money.Generate a worksheet documenting responses to key points in the ITT.Sort the worksheet based on these responses.Screen down to a number of vendors that the committee canfurther explore.1.3. Second-pass selection: The selection committee does an indepth review of firms surviving the first pass.Schedule and hold supplier presentations.Contact references provided in the ITT process.For larger or more complicated projects, it may be necessary for the IT team to assess the supplierDetermine each supplier's financial stability.Select two to three of the most promising suppliers.Conduct site visits where the software has been implemented.Decide on a vendor.1.4. Implementation: This will include all steps required to realise the key success criteria:equipment installation (if necessary);software installation and time frames;software customisation and response times; and training.1.5. Managing the long-term relationship: This part of the selection process should be specified to some extent during the second-pass selection stage, and finalised prior to actually negotiating and signing the final contract. This will involve the steps in virtually any relationship, including:developing (and limiting) expectations on both sides;establishing channels of communication; and establishing key dates and reminding the supplier of key dates at various points through implementation, update, upgrade and all other points in the cycle.。
Corporate and Business Law (GLO) (F4) September 2014 to August 2015( PAPER EXAM SESSIONS IN DEC 2014 AND JUN 2015. START DATE FOR CBE NOVEMBER 19 2014.)This syllabus and study guide is designed to help with planning study and to provide detailed information on what could be assessed inany examination session.THE STRUCTURE OF THE SYLLABUS AND STUDY GUIDERelational diagram of paper with other papersThis diagram shows direct and indirect links between this paper and other papers preceding or following it. Some papers are directly underpinned by other papers such as Advanced Performance Management by Performance Management. These links are shown as solid line arrows. Other papers only have indirect relationships with each other such as links existing between the accounting and auditing papers. The links between these are shown as dotted line arrows. This diagram indicates where you are expected to have underpinning knowledge and where it would be useful to review previous learning before undertaking study.Overall aim of the syllabusThis explains briefly the overall objective of the paper and indicates in the broadest sense the capabilities to be developed within the paper.Main capabilitiesThis paper’s aim is broken down into several main capabilities which divide the syllabus and study guide into discrete sections.Relational diagram of the main capabilitiesThis diagram illustrates the flows and links between the main capabilities (sections) of the syllabus and should be used as an aid to planning teaching and learning in a structured way.Syllabus rationaleThis is a narrative explaining how the syllabus is structured and how the main capabilities are linked. The rationale also explains in further detail what the examination intends to assess and why.Detailed syllabusThis shows the breakdown of the main capabilities (sections) of the syllabus into subject areas. This is the blueprint for the detailed study guide.Approach to examining the syllabusThis section briefly explains the structure of the examination and how it is assessed.Study GuideThis is the main document that students, learning and content providers should use as the basis of their studies, instruction and materials. Examinations will be based on the detail of the study guide which comprehensively identifies what could be assessed in any examination session.The study guide is a precise reflection and breakdown of the syllabus. It is divided into sections based on the main capabilities identified in the syllabus. These sections are divided into subject areas which relate to the sub-capabilities included in the detailed syllabus. Subject areas are broken down into sub-headings which describe the detailed outcomes that could be assessed in examinations. These outcomes are described using verbs indicating what exams may require students to demonstrate, and the broad intellectual level at which these may need to be demonstrated(*see intellectual levels below).INTELLECTUAL LEVELSThe syllabus is designed to progressively broaden and deepen the knowledge, skills and professional values demonstrated by the student on their way through the qualification.The specific capabilities within the detailed syllabuses and study guides are assessed at one of three intellectual or cognitive levels:Level 1: Knowledge and comprehensionLevel 2: Application and analysisLevel 3: Synthesis and evaluationVery broadly, these intellectual levels relate to the three cognitive levels at which the Knowledge module, the Skills module and the Professional level are assessed.Each subject area in the detailed study guide included in this document is given a 1, 2, or3 superscript, denoting intellectual level, marked at the end of each relevant line. This gives an indication of the intellectual depth at which an area could be assessed within the examination. However, while level 1 broadly equates with the Knowledge module, level 2 equates to the Skills module and level 3 to the Professional level, some lower level skills can continue to be assessed as the student progresses through each module and level. This reflects that at each stage of study there will be a requirement to broaden, as well as deepen capabilities. It is also possible that occasionally some higher level capabilities may be assessed at lower levels.LEARNING HOURS AND EDUCATION RECOGNITIONThe ACCA qualification does not prescribe or recommend any particular number of learning hours for examinations because study and learning patterns and styles vary greatly between people and organisations. This also recognises the wide diversity of personal, professional and educational circumstances in which ACCA students find themselves.As a member of the International Federation of Accountants, ACCA seeks to enhance the education recognition of its qualification on both national and international education frameworks, and with educational authorities and partners globally. Indoing so, ACCA aims to ensure that its qualifications are recognized and valued by governments, regulatory authorities and employers across allsectors. To this end, ACCA qualifications are currently recognized on the education frameworks in several countries. Please refer to your nationaleducation framework regulator for further information.Each syllabus contains between 23 and 35 main subject area headings depending on the nature of the subject and how these areas have been brokendown.GUIDE TO EXAM STRUCTUREThe structure of examinations varies within and between modules and levels.The Fundamentals level examinations contain 100% compulsory questions to encouragecandidates to study across the breadth of each syllabus.The Knowledge module is assessed by equivalent two-hour paper based and computer based examinations.The Skills module examinations F5-F9 are all paper based three-hour papers containing a mix ofobjective and longer type questions. The Corporate and Business Law (F4) paper is a two- hourcomputer based objective test examination which isalso available as a paper based version from the December 2014 examination session.The Professional level papers are all three-hour paper based examinations, all containing two sections. Section A is compulsory, but there will be some choice offered in Section B.For all three hour examination papers, ACCA has introduced 15 minutes reading and planning time.This additional time is allowed at the beginning of each three-hour examination to allow candidates to read the questions and to begin planning their answers before they start writing in their answer books. This time should be used to ensure that all the information and exam requirements are properly read and understood.During reading and planning time candidates may only annotate their question paper. They may not write anything in their answer booklets until told to do so by the invigilator.The Essentials module papers all have a Section A containing a major case study question with all requirements totalling 50 marks relating to this case. Section B gives students a choice of two from three 25 mark questions.Section A of both the P4 and P5 Options papers contain one 50 mark compulsory question, and Section B will offer a choice of two from three questions each worth 25 marks each.Section A of each of the P6 and P7 Options papers contains 60 compulsory marks from two questions; question 1 attracting 35 marks, and question 2 attracting 25 marks. Section B of both these Options papers will offer a choice of two from three questions, with each question attracting 20 marks. All Professional level exams contain four professional marks.The pass mark for all ACCA Qualification examination papers is 50%. GUIDE TO EXAMINATION ASSESSMENTACCA reserves the right to examine anything contained within the study guide at any examinationsession. This includes knowledge, techniques, principles, theories, and concepts as specified.For the financial accounting, audit and assurance, law and tax papers except where indicated otherwise, ACCA will publish examinable documents once a year to indicate exactlywhat regulations and legislation could potentially be assessed within identified examination sessions.. For paper based examinations regulation issued or legislation passed on or before 31st August annually, will be examinable from 1st September of the following year to 31st August t of the year after that. Please refer to the examinable documents for the paper (where relevant) for further information.Regulation issued or legislation passed in accordance with the above dates may be examinable even if the effective date is in the future. The term issued or passed relates to when regulation or legislation has been formally approved. The term effective relates to when regulation or legislation must be applied to an entity transactions and business practices.The study guide offers more detailed guidance on the depth and level at which the examinable documents will be examined. The study guide should therefore be read in conjunction with the examinable documents list.SyllabusAIM To develop knowledge and skills in the understanding of the general legal framework within which international business takes place, and of specific legal areas relating to business, recognising the need to seek further specialist legal advice where necessary.

The syllabus starts with an introduction to different legal systems, different types of law and those organisations which endeavour to promote internationally applicable laws. It also introduces arbitration as an alternative to court adjudication.It then leads into an examination of the substantive law as stated in UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, which relates to the formation, content and discharge of international contracts for the sale of goods.The syllabus then covers a range of specific legal areas relating to various aspects of international business of most concern to finance professionals. These are the law relating to the financing of international transactions, and the various legal forms through which international business transactions may be conducted. Particular attention is focused on the law relating to companies. Aspects examined include the formation and constitution of companies, the financing of companies and types of capital, and the day–to-day management, the administration and regulation of companies and legal aspects of insolvency law.The final section links back to all the previous areas. This section deals with corporate fraudulent and criminal behaviour.DETAILED SYLLABUSA Essential elements of legal systems1.

2020年3月ACCA考试P5高级业绩管理真题案例分析题Section A1. Company informationAchilty Retail (Achilty) is a stock exchange listed business which sells a range of clothes from a website to consumers in Beeland. Achilty started as a chain of clothing shops but has slowly transitioned into a website only business, and sold its last physical shop recently.Achilty’s mission is ‘to deliver long-term returns to shareholders through a combination of sustainable growth in earnings per share and payment of cash dividends’. This mission will be achieved by the following subsidiary objectives:– Improving product ranges;– Increasing the number of customers and their individual spend;– Focusing on customer service; and– Improving profitability by efficient cost control in purchasing and inventory management.The board feels that while performance has been **pared to other retailers in general, it is lagging behind the growth of the online retail clothing sector. It is felt that many of the systems and processes have yet to adjust to the new reality of web-only business. As a result, the chief executive officer (CEO) has been reviewing the business in order to identify areas for improvement. She has focused on current performance reporting and the more effective use of the data which Achilty collects.Current performance reportingAt a recent board meeting, there was a debate as to whether performance towards this mission and its subsidiary objectives are being usefully measured. The director raising the concern believed that any fault might lie in the board’s performance report for annual strategic review, although the CEO is fairly happy with the report. Therefore, the CEO wants a full evaluation of the current performance report (see Appendix 1 for the most recent example) in light of this debate and also, more generally, in terms of the best practice for reporting performance. There is no need to suggest new indicators.Other proposed performance indicatorsAt this board meeting and as a result of the disagreement about performance reporting, a number of new performance indicators were discussed. The CEO wants an assessment of these indicators, including their calculation if that is possible from the information supplied, and also, whether and how they link to the mission and subsidiary objectives. The indicators and additional information are given in Appendix2.Role of the management accountantThe CEO recently introduced a new enterprise resource planning system (ERPS). This system will provide a single database, operating across the whole organisation, to replace systems which have been built up in each function around Achilty’s basic website. The functions, for example, purchasing, warehousing and fulfilment, and sales and marketing, will now all work on a common technology platform. Her plan is to move more decision making to individual managers of cross-functional teams who will work on all aspects of a given selection of product lines, such as women’s or sports clothing. For example, purchasing will now liaise more closely with sales and marketing in order to ensure that the best possible and most profitableproduct range is available. It is hoped that this will reduce the number of senior managers and so flatten the organisational hierarchy.The CEO has been reading about the work of Burns and Scapens. She would like you to explain how you see the role of the management accountant changing in the current business environment both broadly and with specific application of the three drivers of change identified by Burns and Scapens to Achilty.Data warehouseIn order to catch up with the rest of the online retail sector, the CEO believes that the key step will be to effectively use the vast amount of customer data which the website collects. In a further step forward in the use of information technology at Achilty, she plans to create a data warehouse and use its information to help to achieve the objectives of Achilty. The data warehouse will collect data from customer activities on the website and also, from social media. Given the $50m cost, she wants an assessment of the opportunities and risks which such an expensive system would present.Required:It is now 1 September 20X5.Write a report to the chief executive officer (CEO) of Achilty to respond to her instructions for work on the following areas:(i) Current performance reporting.(ii) Other proposed performance indicators.(iii) The changing role of the management accountant.(iv) The opportunities and risks of introducing a new data warehouse.Professional marks will be awarded for the format, style and structure of the discussion of your answer.Appendix 1Strategic performance report for Achilty for year ended 30 June 20X5Financial performance by product areaCommentary:Overall performance is satisfactory as the business has maintained its earnings per share and dividend.Revenue is up by 10·4% on the previous year.The number of customer accounts and average spend per purchase have increased in the year.Deliveries to customers continue to be made within promised deadlines to a significant extent.Appendix 2Other proposed performance indicators:1. Return on capital employed (ROCE)2. Total shareholder return (TSR), **es from share price change and dividend yield3. Inventory days4. Receivables daysSupplementary information for Achilty:Section B1. Company informationTotaig manufactures high quality and innovative small electrical appliances such as hairdryers and vacuum cleaners. All of the board of directors, who are the strategic decision makers, have always worked in the business and are members of the Totaig family. Most of the operational managers joined as factory workers when the business started and have taken on more responsibilities as the business has grown.Totaig has basic and outdated IT systems for a business of **plexity and has always used traditional financial performance measures such as return on investment (ROI) and operating profit margin.Totaig has historically had **petitors and the directors have focused on improving financial results from one year to the next, with little long-term planning. A number of **petitors have, however, recently entered Totaig’s market. It is estimated that, within one year, **petitors will be able to produce at a similar unit cost to Totaig and that within three to five years, the quality of **petitors’ products will be comparable to the current quality of Totaig’s products. Totaig may have to invest heavily in product development and make acquisitions in the future in order to compete effectively.Value based management (VBM)A consultant has recently told the directors that implementing VBM may help Totaig to respond to the increase in competition over the next one to five years. The consultant has defined VBM as ‘the alignment of the business strategy, management processes and culture on maximising shareholder wealth by focusing on key driversof value’. The directors have accepted this as a reasonable definition of VBM and most of them now agree that VBM would be useful, though others are not yet convinced.The directors have, however, asked you for further advice on one aspect of the implementation of VBM at Totaig. At her recent presentation, the consultant presented a slide (Appendix 1) showing the four steps in implementing VBM. The directors want your advice on how to implement Step 2, which is defining performance targets. Your advice should focus on the following four areas:1. Selection of appropriate measures and targets.2. Timescales to which the targets should relate.3. Management levels (strategic and operational) in the business to which the targets should relate.4. Difficulties in measuring and managing performance using VBM.Measuring valueThe directors are unsure of a suitable financial performance indicator for them to use to measure whether Totaig is creating value. As an illustration, they have asked you to evaluate, by calculating economic value added (EV A™), whether Totaig has generated value for the year to 30 June 20X5. You should use the financial information given in Appendix 2, and advise on the difficulties of using EV A™ as a performance indicator at Totaig.Required:It is now 1 September 20X5.(a) Advise the directors on the implementation of Step 2 of VBM as requested.(b) Evaluate both whether Totaig has created value and the difficulties of using EV A™ as a performance indicator at Totaig.Appendix 1Appendix 2Income statement for the year to 30 June 20X5Notes:1. During the year, $450,000 of advertising cost which will generate sales in future periods was expensed to the income statement.2. The allowance for doubtful debts at the end of the period was $300,000, a reduction of $200,000 from the beginning of the period.3. The capital employed at the beginning of the period was $88,944,000.4. Totaig’s after-tax weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is currently 9%. **pany is financed by a mixture of equity and fixed and floating rate loans.5. The directors are considering changing Totaig’s policies for the depreciation of non-current assets for the year ending 30 June 20X6.2. Company informationCoruisk is a clothing manufacturer in Teeland which produces a range of dresses which it sells to Ericht. The range of dresses are the only products which Coruisk produces and Ericht is its only customer.Ericht is a well-known retailer in Teeland. Ericht has recently been affected by changes in consumer purchasing preferences to buying clothes online and, as a result, is keen to reduce its inventory holding as a way of reducing its costs. Ericht is also finding that it has an excess of goods which it has to discount as consumer tastes appear to change more quickly than in the past.Current purchasing policyCoruisk currently obtains its raw material from four suppliers. Each of these suppliers operates differently in terms of the processes and procedures which they adopt in trading with Coruisk. Coruisk has been agreeable to this, as the quality of the raw material supplied has generally been acceptable.More recently, however, Coruisk has found reason to question the accuracy and quality of the raw material delivered from one supplier. Additionally, another supplier now only despatches material to Coruisk in full-load quantities as it wishes to optimise the use of its delivery vehicles.Current production methodsThe performance metric at Coruisk for production efficiency is the number of dresses produced per period. Coruisk’s method of production is to produce individual dresses in long production runs which has helped in maximising output.Staff working in the production department have their bonus based on this metric. Goods which have not been produced to the required standard have traditionally been rejected at the end of the production process. Coruisk’s production control manager has indicated to you that the current production methods have been successful, as **pany only has 5% of its goods returned from Ericht due to poor quality.JIT and costs ofqualityEricht would like to move to a just-in-time (JIT) system of purchasing its goods from Coruisk. The board of Coruisk has asked you for help, as a management consultant, to advise it as to how **pany may have to change its approach to the areas of purchasing and production to prepare itself for producing to JIT principles.The chief executive officer (CEO) does not believe that **pany will encounter any problems in adapting to Ericht’s requirements and has told you: ‘we have very good quality control practices and procedures in place and are confident that we are consistently supplying goods which are required at an acceptable price and at high quality. Our practice of testing goods at the final stage of production, and before they leave the factory, supports this.’Coruisk’s CEO has also made available to you a list of costs which she believes address all relevant costs of quality. These costs are detailed in Appendix 1. The headings for a cost of quality report are also supplied in this appendix. She indicated that some of these costs have never been measured before and have been given financial values to help you give advice. She also told you that Coruisk’s current revenue is $4·5 million.Required:It is now 1 September 20X5.(a) Assess the changes which Coruisk will have to make in the areas of purchasing and production in order to supply goods to Ericht on a JIT basis.(b) Prepare a cost of quality report for Coruisk based on the information in Appendix 1 **ment on potential quality cost changes in light of the proposed move to JIT.Appendix 1CEO’s estimates of quality related costsCost of quality report headingsCosts of conformance:Prevention costsAppraisal costsCosts of non-conformance:Internal failure costsExternal failure costs* The foregone contribution from lost sales is an estimate made by the CEO of potential sales lost to Ericht due to problems related to production and delivery experienced by Coruisk.。

龙源期刊网 地方本科院校ACCA成建制培养模式探讨作者:张黄朱纪红徐飒来源:《教育界·下旬》2017年第08期【摘要】高校开设ACCA班是培养高素质的国际会计人才的有效途径。
文章从ACCA班目标定位出发,从课程设置、师资队伍等方面讨论了地方本科院校开设ACCA班的现状和面临的问题,并针对性地提出了建议。
【关键词】ACCA;会计国际化;目标定位【基金项目】湖南工学院2014年校级教研教改项目(JY201432),湖南省教学研究改革项目(湘教通〔2015〕291号),湖南省教学研究改革项目(湘教通〔2014〕247号)。
一、前言随着世界经济一体化和会计准则国际化的加速,ACCA得到了越来越多的跨国企业和包括普华永道(PwC)、德勤(DTT)在内的国际顶尖会计事务所的认可,由此催生了中国ACCA 考证的热潮。
出于提高专业影响力和招生就业率等原因,加上高顿、中博、楷博等财经教育机构的推动,自2001年西安交大、上海财经大学等高校开设全日制ACCA成建制班以来,中国共有近百所高校开设了ACCA成建制班。
国内多数学者肯定了ACCA专业教育对于中国高校会计专业教育模式、会计人才培养质量的积极影响,但不可否认的是,高校和ACCA的合作在办学定位、课程设置等方面仍有不少的问题。
近几年地方本科院校开设的ACCA成建制班的数量呈急速上升趋势,但其以应试为目的的会计人才培养模式和培养效果如何,还有待时间来检验。
二、地方本科院校ACCA班的现状地方普通院校在开设ACCA成建制班时,通常采取“全合作”的模式,将ACCA课程的教学任务全部委托给合作的知名财经教育机构,本校教师仅讲授通识基础课程和中文专业基础课程。
在新生入学时,学校会进行多种形式的宣传活动,介绍ACCA的基本信息、证书含金量、报考条件以及就读ACCA班的优势等内容,吸引新生咨询报名。
在ACCA建班前,高校通常会联合培训机构组织入校二次选拔。
鉴于新生大学学习尚未开始,专业水平未知,多数选拔仅对学生的英语水平进行测试,个别还会通过面试了解学生的家庭背景、性格爱好和沟通交流能力。

Future 2. External 如 customer supplier competitor (competitive advantage) 3. Goal congruence
提供怎样的信息 competitors’ cost product profitability customer profitability
PM是一项重要的控制手段 SWOT plan的model Benchmark
SMA可以说就是贯穿企业planning和control的流程 我们需要使用strategic plan and control models来plan and monitor organizational performance
Planning:制定企业objective,决定要用哪些resource来完成这些objective,以及这些资源的获取、使用、处置的policy Management control:也叫tactics或者tactical planning,确保资源有效率、有效果的获取和使用。 Operational control:也叫operational planning
Plan和decision-making是两个不可分割的过程
二 SMA 弄清楚三个orientation 2.6 讲了绩效管理和plan与control 绩效管理是用来提高企业业绩的任何活动,来保证达成目标。 因此绩效管理是在plan之后,是一项企业重要的control。 三 plan和objective Strategic planning的structure就是strategy的三个过程,在p13。
四 可以说那六点的前四点都是plan,后两点是control 4.7 budgeting 可以同时用于plan和control Budget的五个目的是PRIME。
八 benchmarking 三种类型的benchmark,三种level的benchmark,七个步骤,benchmark的原因,缺点
第二章 performance management and control of the organization Budget 用于plan和control
一 各种预算模型的优缺点 预算在进步而不是变得过时 预测对于动态环境的作用越来越大。 从top-down到bottom-up
增量预算:高估成本,为了不受到责难。因此最小的必要成本和预算之间的差距形成了slack。 既不能过多消费,又不能过低(因为别人会怪你没有careful budgeting)
Rolling budget,periodic budget Fixed:只是提供一种output,因此适合plan不适合control Flexible:提供多种output ABB:固定成本多的不适合 第三章 1-4 business structures 5-8 IT 9-11 权益相关者 道德
1 business structure and information needs
2 BPR 完全重来 找出哪些业务与战略目标,CSF相关;重组后可以提高企业战略业绩 Fundamental radical dramatic 与ZBB的思考模式相似 理解process 可能要改变组织结构,不再使用职能部门模式 不创造价值,不导向目的的process要被重组 重组有七个特点
2.1 流程再造必须把握的七大原则 原则1、围绕最终结果而非具体任务来实施再造工程 原来有不同专业人员干的工作要合并为一个工作,由一个业务员或工作组来完成。所产生的新工作应包括全部步骤,并有明确的产出。围绕最终结果来实施再造省去了传递过程,从而加快了速度,提高了效率,并能对顾客变化做出快速反应。
原则2、让后续过程的有关人员参与前段过程 采取就近原则来执行工作最有意义。这将导致某个过程有最熟悉他的人来完成。从而打破了传统的部门内和部门间的界限。
原则3、将信息处理融入产生该信息的实际工作中去 信息收集者应该负责信息处理工作,使得其他人处理、协调该信息的工作降到最低。通过减少过程的外部接触点,从而大大减少了差错。
原则4、将地域上分散的资源集中化
