Concept of Case Studies

The 9 existing pillar papers (Operational level E1,P1,F1, Management level E2,P2,F2, Strategic level E3,P3,F3) will now be referred to as subjects and will:

Remain largely unchanged in syllabus content. Be tested by 90 minute, objective tests, sat on a computer. Have exams on demand with results available shortly after the end of the exam. Consist of objective test questions, which are short questions that include multiple

choice, multi response, fill in the blank, true and false, data entry, rank, sort. Focus on levels one, two and three of the CIMA hierarchy of verbs, but will also

test levels four and five (e.g. analyse), especially at the Management and Strategic levels.

Under the new structure a level must be passed before moving up to the next level and there will no longer be an option to approach the exams in pillars.

Objective Test

The main change in the new structure is the addition of 3 integrated case studies to be used for each level of the CIMA syllabus (Operational, Management and Strategic). The case study will test a candidates ability to apply all 3 subjects from that level to a business or industry scenario. The Strategic integrated case study will replace T4 (part b). On completion of each level of objective tests an integrated case study will test a candidates ability

to combine their knowledge and learning across the three pillars and will test a candidates ability to apply, analyse and evaluate.

The Operational Integrated Case Study could involve creating costings for a product (P1 task), followed by advising on how best to market the product (E1 task), followed by the impact on the financial statements of holding more inventory (F1 task).

Achieved by setting a simulated business context relating to fictional organisations based on a real business or industry.

3 hour duration, available during four 5-day exam windows (Feb/May/Aug/Nov). Sat on computer and will be marked by examiners. Will include pre-seen material and unseen material available during the assessment and will

comprise short answers and essays. There will be limited calculations. Results available 3 or 4 weeks following the end of the exam window (CIMA are yet to confirm this). The integrated case study for a level has to be passed before moving on to the next levels OT

Key models for Case Studies

Big data may be defined as 'high-volume, high-velocity and high-variety information assets that demand cost-effective, innovative forms of information processing for enhanced insight and decision making 100 hours of video uploaded to Youtube every minute There are 58 million tweets on average per day Average daily number of Facebook likes is 4.5 billion. Average number of uploaded photos on Facebook daily is 350

million. Number of Facebook messages sent daily is 10 billion. VISA processes more than 172,800,000 card transactions each day

Big Data ( a new phenomenon)

Big data is gaining a lot of momentum in the accounting fraternity nowadays. Management accountants are considered a different breed of accountant from

their typical counterpart, the financial accountant. They are not limited to internal financial data and performance analysis but look at the overall performance of an organisation from financial, productivity, efficiency and effectiveness measures

As a typical management accountant, our role is to look at the future from the current context and analyse the performance (financial and non-financial) and advise on how to pre-empt problems, adapt to changing circumstances and improve value.

Management accountants are the new data scientist for their organisations. Management accountants redefine the macro and micro-environment with the

new concept 'infonomics which means information economics. Management accountants works with unstructured data, use technology, tools and

new skills to redefine the macro and micro-environment.
