If you have started this session with Performance Management, this post will be important for you.
#F5 syllabus QUICK guidance:
A. Information technologies and system for organization performance.
I'm sure that this part is already familiar to you. Here you will find the same stuff from F1, F2, F3, ethics but the information will be more detailed.
B. Specialist cost and management accounting techniques.
Only 2 things you should understand is throughput accounting (bottleneck, TPAR) and environmental management accounting (techniques and TBL) because the principles of ABC, target and life-cycle costing have been meet earlier in F2.
C. Decision making techniques.
The most interesting part. Here you will cover:
- CVP analyses (about breakeven point);
- Limiting factors (Slack and scarce recourses, shadow price)
- Pricing decision (demand based approach, different pricing strategies)
- Relevant costing:
~ Make or buy decision;
~ Shut down;
~ One-off contracts
~ Further processing decisions.
- Risk and uncertainty:
~ Expected values
~ Pay-off tables
~ MaxiMax, MaxiMin, MiniMax
~ Decision trees
D. Budgeting and control.
I can break down this part as follows:
- Types of budgeting:
~ Fixed/Flexed/Flexible budgets
~ Incremental budgeting
~ Zero based budgeting
~ Rolling budgeting
~ Activity based budgeting
- Quantitative techniques:
~ High/Low method
~ Learning curve (!!!)
~ Linear regression (correlation, coefficient of determination)
- Variances:
~ Material variance (Yield+Mix=Usage variance)
~ Labour variance
~ VOH and FOH variances
~ Sales variances (Quantity+Mix=Volume variance)
~ Planning and operational variances
E. Performance measurement and control.
- Financial and Non financial measures:
~ Ratios
~ Balanced scorecard
~ Building block model
~ Value for money
- Divisional performance and Transfer pricing (!!!)

#F5 PM tips:
1. Study phase:
Make sure you start early, know your syllabus . Watch the lectures and make your own notes, it gives you a deeper understanding .
Secondly DON’T ignore theory based portions like balanced scorecard and building block model . I know it is boring but it also comes with greater marks coverage. Having said that even for numerical focus on the concepts of the methods rather just mugging up the steps for the question, if you do this you can tackle any question ACCA throws your way. Allocate enough time. Practice is the key to progress. Try to solve the kits and even practice questions from StudyHub. Mark my words, you will not repeat the same mistake again if you do.
In every paper there are easier parts like in PM costing and some decision making is easier so take maximum marks out of it . Before a week or two focus on doing mocks and tests, this will help you know where you stand and then focus on weaker areas.
Performance measurement is often considered a difficult section, so try to practice as many questions, compare your answer to ACCA scripts and then use the technique in other questions, don't be general but specific to questions.
2. Exam:
Everyone has a different approach of attempting the paper. I always do my MCQs first as easier marks can be gained easily. There are always gonna be questions which will spin your head, but don't worry much about it. Grab the easier marks. Focus on time management. Sections A and B are checked by a computer, so make sure to read things like decimals, to the nearest thousands etc. In section C , don't worry about getting one part wrong because ACCA doesn't give you zero for one wrong answer.
4. Cash Management
Present days cash management plays a major role in the area of finance because proper cash management is not only essential for effective utilization of cash but it also helps to meet the short-term liquidity position of the concern.
5. Interrelation with Other Departments
Finance manager deals with various functional departments such as marketing, production, personel, system, research, development, etc. Finance manager should have sound knowledge not only in finance related area but also well versed in other areas. He must maintain a good relationship with all the functional departments of the business organization.

#F5
Conventional costs are those raw material and energy costs having environmental relevance.
Potentially hidden costs are those which are captured by accounting systems, but then lose their identity in 'overheads'.
Contingent costs may be incurred at a future date – for example, costs for cleaning up. They are also referred to as contingent liabilities.
Image and relationship costs are intangible in nature and include, for example, the costs of producing environmental reports.
