ACCA – Strategic Business Leader (SBL – INT) – COMPULSORY
The Strategic Business Leader subject is designed to mirror the workplace
London Governance & Compliance Academy
Summary
Overview
The Strategic Business Leader subject is designed to mirror the workplace and requires you to demonstrate a blend of technical, ethical, and professional skills. It tests your ability to function as an accountant in a simulated workplace and asks you to respond to requests from people in various roles. It will not only be the technical quality of your answer that matters, but how professional your response is.
An important factor in SBL subject success is the building on the knowledge studied earlier in the ACCA qualification, including governance, ethics, risk management, internal control, strategy and leadership. So, whether you are new to ACCA, have not studied for a while, or just want to check how well you know the core materials, we have created 5 self-check quizzes to assess your underlying knowledge and get personalised advice on your next steps and how to study for SBL efficiently.
