...Paper P4 is the advanced financial MANAGEMENT paper at the Professional level. It follows on from Paper F9 at the Fundamentals level. As throughout the ACCA syllabus, the Fundamentals paper covers the main technical areas that all accountants are required to master, whereas the Professional paper builds on that knowledge and explores advanced skills and techniques. In particular Paper P4 expects candidates to have more depth of knowledge, better analytical skills, and to be able to exercise greater professional judgement than at Paper F9. Hence, instead of being asked to value a bond, a potential Paper F9 question, candidates will need to be able to recognise the need to calculate a bond value given the scenario. For instance candidates may be required to evaluate the potential gain to the shareholders of a target company, of various offers from a predator company. If one of these offers includes bonds then the value of the bonds will need to be calculated, unless of course it is given in the question. Another key distinction between Paper F9 and Paper P4 is that in general the scenarios that candidates will be faced with will refer to larger, more complex and more international organisations. A calculative example of this is the need to be able to appraise projects carried out overseas whereas a discursive example is the need to be able to discuss the role of key international organisations such as the International Monetary Fund. ------------------------------------------------- ...

...A risky business Dodie: We are all here now. As you know that Zelal Sulen is our new boss now. After she took up the official post, she found that Hi-Style is out of touch with its target consumers and is losing direction. As the member of manager consultants, for this point, today we need to think out at least two options to advise her to improve the situation. Am I understood? And think a while... Okay, let's make a start. Who want to speak first? Lily: Well, in my opinion, Hi-Style could allocate £10m to new investment in the business. For example, it could improve distribution and sales through an exclusive agreement with a major retailer, which could provide a steady marketing channel. Second, to launch new product ranges with major advertising campaigns. Thus, new products will be known to customers. Hi-Style could definitely reach wide publicity. Thirdly, to employ brand development consultants so as to improve its image. Brand development consultants are more professional so that better brand image will be built, leading to its properous future. Fourthly, to hire a top retailing executive to run the business. Therefore, the business will be more smooth and sales will be increased. The last one is to commission City Associates to do a thorough review of all Hi-Style's activities, from which Hi-Style could catch a better understanding of the whole business to control its operation. Dodie: Good.Thanks. Lily. And what's your opinion, Serena? Serena: Well, I prefer the...
