About the paper

What ACCA APM covers

Advanced Performance Management is about evaluating and measuring the strategic performance of an organisation and identifying ways to improve it. It goes beyond internal costing to integrate performance management with strategic objectives, corporate governance, and external factors. The paper focuses on applying and evaluating contemporary performance models, managing the strategic impact of risk, and advising management on how to achieve world-class business performance.

APM is a Strategic Professional option. You choose any two of AFM, APM, ATX and AAA.

What you will learn

  • Assessment of the strategic development and performance of an organisation.
  • Application of strategic performance measurement models (e.g., the Balanced Scorecard).
  • Managing and measuring divisional performance and external factors like risk.
  • The impact of quality, process control, and environmental factors on performance.
  • The design and use of performance management information systems.
