What You’ll Learn in ACCA Advanced Performance Management (APM)
The ACCA Advanced Performance Management (APM) exam develops your ability to evaluate organisational performance, design effective performance measurement systems, and advise senior management using high-quality analysis and strategic insight. APM prepares you for roles where analytical thinking, strategic planning, and impactful decision-making are essential.
Building on PM, this paper focuses on real-world performance challenges, strategic alignment, behavioural impacts, and advanced management accounting techniques.
Strategic planning and performance management
Learn how organisations translate strategy into actionable performance objectives. You’ll explore strategic planning frameworks, competitive analysis, value creation models, and how to design performance systems that support long-term organisational success.
Performance measurement frameworks
Develop advanced expertise in designing and evaluating performance measurement systems. You’ll study the balanced scorecard, performance pyramids, building blocks model, value-based management, and how to integrate financial and non-financial KPIs for meaningful insight.
Advanced performance analysis
Gain the ability to analyse performance using multi-dimensional measures. You’ll interpret profitability, liquidity, efficiency, and value drivers — and assess how external factors, strategic choices, and management decisions impact organisational outcomes.
Management control and risk management
Understand how businesses manage risk and control performance. You’ll explore internal control systems, risk identification, risk mapping, control effectiveness, and how uncertainties influence strategic and operational decisions.
Cost management and improvement models
Deepen your knowledge of strategic cost management approaches. You’ll study activity-based management, target costing, life-cycle costing, throughput accounting, lean systems, process optimisation, and how cost structures influence value and competitiveness.
Behavioural and organisational factors
Learn how human behaviour affects performance, decision-making, and control systems. You’ll examine motivation, goal congruence, gaming, information asymmetry, and the behavioural consequences of poorly designed performance measures.
Performance in complex environments
Develop the ability to handle dynamic, uncertain, and highly competitive settings. You’ll explore performance evaluation in not-for-profit organisations, multinational operations, digital businesses, and rapidly changing industries.
Data analytics and digital performance systems
Understand how big data, analytics, AI, and digital transformation influence performance management. You’ll assess data quality, analytics techniques, dashboards, and how digital tools enhance strategic insight and decision support.
Advisory and communication skills
Master the ability to deliver high-impact recommendations to senior leaders. You’ll learn to present clear, concise, and commercially sound advice through reports, memos, evaluations, and strategic analyses that reflect a senior manager’s perspective.
