	FLP 211. Operational Case Study (OCS) May Exam Deep Dive	21 avr. 2026	00:35:47
Host Kevin Gormley is joined once again by Alex Whelan from Kaplan to help candidates prepare for the May Operational Case Study (OCS) exam. Whether you're early in your preparation or refining your technique, Kevin and Alex provide practical insights to help you focus on what matters most: applying your knowledge to the case with confidence. Good luck to all candidates! Building on the popularity of their February episode, Kevin and Alex focus on the May case study scenario featuring SOPA, a family‑owned restaurant business operating in a competitive market. The discussion provides practical guidance on how students should interpret the pre‑seen, identify exam‑relevant issues, and approach answers across all OCS core activities. This episode is especially valuable for candidates sitting their first CIMA Case Study exam and transitioning from Objective tests to a fully integrated, scenario‑based assessment. It offers a concise but comprehensive roadmap for tackling the May 2026 OCS exam. Key Topics Covered Case Study Overview: SOPA SOPA is a family‑owned restaurant chain operating across nine locations. The business operates in a highly competitive hospitality sector with tightening margins. Strong revenue growth and profitability, but operational and strategic risks are emerging. Heavy reliance on customer reviews, staff morale, and brand reputation. Industry themes include: Rising labour and food costs Low consumer confidence Staffing shortages Cost‑of‑living pressures Strengths and Risks in the Pre‑Seen: Positives Strong revenue and gross margin growth (outperforming the market) Healthy cash position and working capital Loyal customer base and sustainability credentials Standardised menus and processes Strengths and Risks in the Pre‑Seen: Risks & Weaknesses Declining customer reviews High staff turnover and morale concerns High fixed‑cost base Dependence on single suppliers Potential over‑expansion risks Expansion & Strategic Decisions Potential exam‑relevant initiatives discussed in the pre‑seen included: Opening new restaurants Launching a ghost kitchen Developing a branded dips product line Entering a new foreign market Exploring AI and digital ordering technology The move from B2C to B2B activities is highlighted as a significant operational and financial risk area that candidates should prepare to address. Exam Focus: Core Activities Breakdown Alex walks through all six OCS core activities, highlighting what candidates should expect and where SOPA‑specific issues may arise: Core Activity A – Costing Marginal costing vs absorption costing New syllabus focus: Environmental and quality costing Digital vs traditional costing (apps, online ordering, IT support costs) Cost of quality (prevention, appraisal, internal & external failure) Core Activity B – Budgeting & Forecasting Incremental vs zero‑based budgeting (ZBB) Forecasting and seasonal trends Rolling budgets and beyond budgeting Importance of clearly explaining ZBB steps Core Activity C – Performance Management KPIs (occupancy rates, sustainability, quality, staff metrics) Variance analysis (including mix variances) Use of attachments and data in answers Core Activity D – Accounting & Reporting Reduced weighting but still examinable PPE decisions (buy vs lease) Inventory valuation (IAS 2) Capitalisation and depreciation Implications of sustainability investments (e.g. vertical farming) Core Activity E – Decision Making Relevant and incremental cash flows Outsourcing vs in‑house production (dips, ghost kitchen) Decision trees and expected values Linear programming and constraints Weighted average benefit analysis Core Activity F – Risk & Working Capital Inventory management (EOQ vs JIT) Working capital cycle (negative cycle at SOPA) Receivables emergence from B2B expansion Factoring and invoice discounting Cash surplus management and over‑trading risks How the Exam Is Marked Alex explains CIMA's four assessment pillars: Technical understanding Communication & professional tone Use of information provided (attachments) Application to the scenario Key advice Refer to SOPA frequently — name the company, people, products, and locations. Use clear sub‑headings and structured answers. Justify recommendations clearly. Use planning time effectively. No calculations required — focus on explanation and application. Exam Tips & Final Advice Expect questions around ghost kitchens, expansion, and B2B risks Practice with mock exams and review model answers Focus on structure, relevance, and professionalism Remember: you must advise SOPA, not write generic theory Useful Links Finance Leadership Program: https://enroll.cgma.org CGMA Hub with Case Study Resources & Mock Exams Thanks for listening.

	FLP 209. Preparing for Exam Resits. Support, Resources & Proficiency Guidance	30 janv. 2026	00:17:17
Kevin is joined by Nasheen Wuisman from the CIMA Study Support & Progression Team to discuss the challenges of exam resits and the wealth of support resources available for students, especially those preparing for the upcoming February exam window. Nasheen explains the emotional and practical difficulties students face when re‑sitting a Case Study exam, and highlights key support tools such as the Revitalise Resit Guide, the Resit Program, the Proficiency Guide, coaching services, and community learning spaces. She also describes how these resources help candidates understand examiner expectations, improve answer proficiency, and rebuild confidence for the next exam attempt. TOPICS COVERED Understanding the Emotional Side of Exam Resits. Students often struggle with motivation, confidence, focus, and disappointment after narrowly failing. The support team acknowledges the emotional impact and provides structured and empathetic resources. Overview of CIMA Support Resources 1. Revitalise — The Resit Guide. A self‑study resource designed to help students reassess, re‑focus, and re‑plan for their next exam attempt. 2. The Resit Program. A structured, flexible program run between results release and the next sitting. Hosted on the CIMA community platform to help students learn, network, and feel less isolated. Includes guidance, weekly resources, and informal live sessions for open discussion and emotional support. 3. The Proficiency Guide. Built using real candidate scripts from an actual exam sitting. Shows examiner annotations on how responses were marked and how to turn "red arrows" into "green arrows." Includes scripts from a fail, marginal pass, and pass for comparison. Particularly powerful for resit candidates who need clarity on how to improve performance. 4. One‑to‑One Coaching Support. FLP 1‑to‑1 coaching sessions for tailored advice, confidence‑building, and personalised study strategy. 5. CGMA Case Study Structured Success Program. A free 8‑week program for first‑time Case Study takers, run twice yearly. Supplements the FLP platform with added skills support (time management, motivation, exam skills). 6. Communities — Engage 365. Includes dedicated spaces for Case Study students, Resit students, and (soon) level learners. Allows global peer‑to‑peer learning, networking, and sharing. TAKEAWAYS Students should fully utilise the variety of free, high‑quality resources available through CIMA and FLP. Understanding examiner expectations is essential, and real scripts in the Proficiency Guide make this far more accessible. Resit success often depends on emotional readiness as much as technical readiness. Community support helps reduce isolation and allows students to learn from peers. Structured programs, coaching, and targeted guides can significantly improve exam performance.
