Hi mam, could you please advise should we only make use of business/accountancy models or theories taken from within ACCA studies ? For any chosen topic can we not demonstrate any other theories that may match but not available within any of ACCA study texts? Specially for T13 there are various other models which however may not be available in the ACCA study texts. Please advise.
For the requirement to 'discuss how you have applied the business models to your organisation', do I need to also discuss how I have applied the financial ratio analysis to the organisation, or this is just for the SWOT, PESTLE models and such?
I have used PEST in my analysis , and not pestle , So can i reference my PEST , to an article that speaks about PESTLE ? , and also for the limitations , can i reference to articles that speak about limitations to PESTLE ?
Yes you can reference to PESTLE but the marker might ask why you have not considered L & E. It might be that these areas are not relevant - but if this is the case say so... if the are relevant I would recommended including them.
Hi Madam, can you please give me some guidance on how to choose a relevant model and comparator organization for Topic 13. (for a company with poor ethical business practices regarding safety concerns)
Hi the Information Pack (avialble from this webpage www.brookes.ac.uk/business/undergraduate/bsc-applied-accounting) has information about the possible models for different topics. Have a look at Pages 44 - 48
Quite insightful thanks v much

The focus is on how you applied the SWOT PESTLE models. You can state that the financial analysis (ratio analysis) informs the evaluation
If I'm doing topic 5 for the period 2021-2023, is it okay if in the PESTLE I mention something that happened in 2024? Like, a political factor?
Yes you can but you need to make it clear it won't have influenced the financial results you are analysing.

in answering topic 5, do i need to use 2 business models . i am considering using just 1 and 1 fincnial model(like ratio analysis)
You need to use 2 business models + financial model = 3 in total
