ACCA P1科目考试技巧
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.
Effective internal control systems, reporting within differing jurisdictions.
Influence of and intervention by institutional investors.
Diversification of Board
Function and importance of internal audit.
Risk definition, analysis of risk and the role of the Board of Directors.
Risk correlation and strategies for management of such risks.
Ethical standpoints and their application to business decisions.
Corporate codes of ethics critique and improvements.
Tucker’s ethical decision making model.
Social and environmental footprint.
Sustainability accounting.
Integrated Reporting
Conflict of interest and independence

ACCA P1科目学习方法
首先大家注意公司治理来自于F4中的agency thoery也就是我们经常说的代理理论。正因为公司的投资人不直接参与公司的管理,从而导致管理者与持有人之间产生一些利益上的冲突,所以上市公司通过完善公司治理来增强监督、减少冲突、降低风险,从而达到股东投资回报**化。
其次,大家要关注 NED(非执行董事)在公司治理中的重要作用,以及他们发挥监督作用具备的条件,这其中要求NED要充分独立。虽然NED不是公司雇员,和公司之间没有雇佣关系,但是他们对完善和实施公司的发展战略有着重要的作用,另外NED要有足够的时间参与公司的日常经营。
再次,我请同学们关注TURNBULL REPORT和COMBINED CODE中对internal control和risk management的要求。什么样的internal control system是完善而且有效的,如何进行risk assessment以及如何进行风险处理。
需要强调的五点:
第一、 考官的历年考题中只有两种格式:Memo 和 letter。烦请大家注意这两种格式
第二、 大家注意自己写出来的句子要专业,比如有效的内部控制要写 sound internal control system, risk embedded等等
第三、 答题要有逻辑性,适当的通过分段,分层次来讲述自己的观点
第四、 要注意senario中引号的句子,这些句子一般是考点
最后,希望大家多动笔,少用眼睛考虑问题。毕竟考试3个小时的时间不是让学生去用语言表达,而是要通过笔将知识写给评卷人。多做几次历年真题,我建议大家看过一次书后去做历年真题,这样可以很快发现自己的不足,同时可以参照历年考试的答案来回答新的问题。
