Description: The P1 Success CD is an excellent tool which enables you to revise the key concepts of standard costing, budgeting, project appraisal and managing short-term finance with straightforward explanations. The CD covers the main areas of the syllabus as well as giving you tips on how topics will be examined.

Paper P1 looks at how information is obtained, evaluated and used to control and predict business performance.

The syllabus is split into the following five areas:

  • Cost accounting systems
  • Forecasting and budgeting techniques
  • Project appraisal
  • Dealing with uncertainty in analysis
  • Managing short-term finance

P1 requires a good understanding of the underlying concepts and techniques in all five areas. P1 also needs you to be able to apply these concepts to practical situations, evaluate them critically and interpret the results.
