What is inside

31 pages.

• All 13 ACCA papers across Applied Knowledge, Applied Skills and Strategic Professional.
• Applied Knowledge: PESTEL and Porter, break-even and EOQ, variance calculations, double entry, ratios and error correction.
• Applied Skills: contract elements and directors duties, limiting factor analysis, ROI against RI, transfer pricing, income tax relief order, badges of trade, capital allowances, ROCE and gearing, consolidation, the audit risk model and opinion types, NPV and IRR, WACC and working capital.
• Strategic Professional: Ansoff and Mendelow, the balanced scorecard, complex groups and financial instruments, plus the four optional papers.
• Memory tips, diagrams, flowcharts and quick-reference checklists throughout.

How to use it

• Keep it open in a second tab while you attempt free ACCA questions, so you are recalling from the sheet rather than from memory at first.
• Cover it and try to reproduce the section you have just read — the recall attempt is what makes it stick, not the re-reading.
• Print it if you study away from a screen. It is laid out to stay legible on paper.

Practise ACCA alongside it

A sheet on its own is reference material. It only turns into a mark in the exam once you have used it under question conditions.
