Modules aligned to our Financial Management and Performance Management exams

As part of the BSc Professional Accountancy, you are required to complete the programme's Financial Management and Performance Management modules. These modules are aligned to ACCA's own Financial Management (FM) and Performance Management (PM) exams.

We would therefore recommend ACCA students who are considering taking the BSc programme not to complete ACCA's FM and PM exams in advance of, or whilst studying, for the BSc.

Financial Management module

This module's learning outcomes are aligned to ACCA’s FM exam. As a result, on successful completion of this module you will qualify and be awarded an exemption for the FM exam (should you not have already completed FM with ACCA).   

Performance Management module

This module's learning outcomes are aligned to ACCA’s PM exam. As a result, on successful completion of this module you will qualify and be awarded an exemption for the PM exam (should you not have already completed PM with ACCA).

Progressing to Strategic Professional level

On completion of both the Financial Management and Performance Management modules, students previously at ACCA’s Applied Skills level can then progress on to the Strategic Professional level.

When you are registered on the BSc, ACCA will award conditional exemptions on your ACCA student record. On successful completion of the Financial Management and Performance Management modules with the university, these exemptions will be converted to full exemptions. There is no additional cost for exemptions achieved through completion of the BSc and students are not required to submit any further documentation.​

Students who have already completed ACCA's FM and/or PM exams will still be required to take, and pass, all of the modules and associated assessments on the BSc programme. For these students, exemptions for completing the modules on the BSc will not be awarded/re-awarded to your ACCA student record.
