ACCA P1 Exam Tips:
 
ACCA P1 Governance, Risk and Ethics Paper Exam Tips for December 2015 Session are given below by famous tuition providers
 
Kaplan
 
Each P1 paper offers 4-6 marks for displaying professional skills, which can easily be the difference between a pass and a fail. The marks are available for both format and the tone and style of your answer, where you may have to prepare a speech or write a letter on behalf of the Board addressing specific concerns. Take a look at the Article of 24 August 2009 for more guidance and some great hints on style.
 
P1 is a very wordy paper, and the examiner wants to ensure that you have a good grasp of the theories behind the questions, but also that you can successfully apply the theories to given scenarios. Therefore, it is very easy to get lost within a question if your layout and approach to a question is poor.
 
A good approach is to apply 3 rules in your answer:
 
Introduction – this should be very short, but can help you get over any ‘writers block’. It might include a read back of the question, or a definition of the subject matter (for example, if the question asks for the roles of NED’s, start by very quickly defining what an NED is)
 
Theory – this section will show the examiner that you actually understand the issue being questioned, again, as with the introduction, this should really be kept short, it can be a section quote from the code, or a reference to an author (Cadbury or Greenbury et al).
 
Application – This will be the main bulk of your answer and should relate directly to the scenario. This is often the most difficult section of the answer, but should be made easier by the use of the introduction and theory sections.
 
In addition remember the golden rules of written questions:
 
  • Plenty of white space
  • Headings as required
  • Short punchy meaningful paragraphs
 
Following are some of the famous topics that were tested in past
 
  • Corporate governance critique and improvements.
