The Strategic Case Study (SCS) module focuses on refreshing and consolidating the skills and knowledge gained from the previous modules, and on using these skills and knowledge to address strategic financial management problems effectively. No new syllabus content is introduced in the module. The assessment requires the integration and application of knowledge from different modules in order to address a series of practical issues and to communicate information clearly and effectively to recipients, often to senior stakeholders. The emphasis is on evaluating and responding to practical issues and determining relevant management or financial management strategies and policies in the context of professional and ethical standards.

The SCS course prepares students to lead with confidence and integrity in any organizational setting. Through this comprehensive course, you will focus on:

• Approaches and techniques to solve problems to meet needs

• Skills and techniques to solve problems and facilitate decision-making

• Information and evaluation of results for the application of professional judgement

• Effecive communication and presentation of information
