Day 1 of starting my ACCA OBU mentoring training to help ACCA students complete their BSc degree
Every ACCA student will need to complete:
• 7,500 words research report
• 2,000 words skills and learning statement presentation
I have free videos taking you through the whole process and eligibility to complete the degree on YouTube (The link is in my bio)
If you are looking to complete your ACCA OBU before the May 2026 final completion date and would like my support as a mentor, feel free to get in touch
SOME TIPS helping you to plan next papers:
📈 Do FR Before AA (or ideally together)
- 🧑🏫 Why: Feel more comfortable with audit risks
📉 Do SBR Soon After FR
- 🧩 Link: Lots of common ground, especially group techniques
📊 Do AAA Soon After SBR
- 🌟 Benefit: SBR standards are vital for AAA
📊 Do AFM (if you must) Soon After FM
- 💡 Insight: They link beautifully, though AFM is tough initially
📋 Do SBL Soon After AA
- 🏢 Reason: Common ground in internal audit and corporate governance
❌ Don’t Do SBL Alone
- 🤯 Issue: Tendency to "overstudy" and get confused
- 🔍 Focus: Understanding principles and applying them, not just knowledge
📊 APM Easier Than AFM
- 📊 AFM: Very technical and specialized
- 🧠 APM: Uses SBL skills in question approach and common sense
⚠️ FM and SBR Have Large Syllabi
- 🧐 Note: Be aware when choosing these with other papers
🕵️♂️ AAA Needs Rethink of Technique
- 🧠 Knowledge: Vastly different technique, more knowledge points expected
- ⏳ Time: Needs more time, be cautious when pairing with other papers
