Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the Case Study (CS) paper?

The CS paper tests students’ ability to apply technical knowledge, professional skills, and judgment to real-world scenarios. It integrates learnings from all other ACA modules and simulates complex business problems to be solved in a professional context.

The CS consists of a single integrated case study, typically divided into:

  • Pre-seen material: Provided several weeks before the exam, outlining the business scenario.
  • Exam tasks: Introduced on exam day, requiring analysis, recommendations, and responses to the case scenario.

Candidates must submit a written response, often in the form of a report or memo.

The ACS paper assesses:

  • Strategic business understanding.
  • Analysis and evaluation of financial and non-financial data.
  • Integration of ethics and professional skepticism in decision-making.
  • Communication skills, as students are expected to prepare clear and concise business reports.
  • Start by thoroughly understanding the pre-seen material and analyzing the industry context.
  • Practice past papers to familiarize yourself with report writing and structuring responses.
  • Work on time management, as the exam is time-pressured.
  • Review Professional Level modules, especially Business Strategy and Technology and Corporate Reporting, as they form the basis for CS.
  •  

ICAEW provides:

  • Sample pre-seen materials and past papers.
  • Examiner’s comments for insight into common mistakes and expectations.
  • Training from ICAEW-approved learning partners.

Additional resources include CS study guides, online webinars, and study groups.

The pass mark is 50%, but students must demonstrate competence across all areas rather than relying on a single section to pass.

You can resit the CS paper. However, ICAEW advises reviewing your performance, understanding examiner feedback, and identifying areas of improvement before attempting a retake.

Yes, the CS exam is open book. Candidates can bring reference materials to the exam, but they must know how to apply the information effectively within the time constraints.

The CS exam is typically 4 hours long, allowing students ample time to read, plan, and write their responses.
