CIMA Operational Case Study

It’s vital that you fully analyse your pre-seen. This requires a detailed examination of the case study ensuring that every section is fully understood.

Our pre-seen analysis videos provide a page-by-page analysis of every section of the pre-seen. It ensures you don’t miss anything important and helps to build a comprehensive understanding of the material. This is vital if you are to gain high marks in the exam.

This product includes:

• One video takes an F1 perspective of the pre-seen with emphasis on financial accounts
• Another takes a P1 perspective with emphasis on management accounting and risk
  
• Typically around 5 hours of guidance is provided

It’s extremely important that you have the ability to identify how the pre-seen relates to key models and theory from E1, F1 and P1. The examiners expect students to demonstrate a good understanding of the models and theories and make the appropriate links to the case study during the exam.
