The P3 Performance Strategy exam covers how organisations respond to risks through systems and controls. The syllabus emphasises the wide-ranging risks organisations face, and particularly financial and information risks, because of the severe consequences these can have.

It includes the methods organisations use to reduce risks, including:

  • Management and accounting systems
  • Corporate governance
  • Control environment and procedures
  • Internal audit

Key skills are:

  • Recognising risks
  • Recommending appropriate actions to counter those risks.

The syllabus also requires appreciation of how risks and control systems link with the strategies the organisation pursues.
