APMACCA APM tuition in Singapore and online. Strategic planning, performance measurement systems, divisional performance and current issues, with exam technique.
Overview
Advanced Performance Management (APM) is a Strategic Professional Options paper about how organisations plan, measure and improve their performance. It covers strategic planning and control, the impact of risk and uncertainty, performance management information systems and the use of data, strategic performance measurement in profit-seeking and not-for-profit organisations, models such as the balanced scorecard and building block model, divisional performance and transfer pricing, and current developments in performance management.
APM is a 3 hour 15 minute exam and all questions are compulsory.
The pass mark is 50%.
ACCA is moving to a new qualification structure. June 2027 is the final sitting of the current Strategic Professional exams, and the new exams start in September 2027. Under the future qualification, students take one Options exam instead of two. If you plan to sit APM in June 2027 or later, ask us how the change affects your route.
Classes are led by Paul William, founder of TutorPOD, who holds ACCA, CIMA and CA Singapore qualifications. APM lessons cover each model briefly, then spend most of the time applying it to past-exam style scenarios in class, so you learn how to plan and write an answer that scores. You get structured notes and timed mocks with personalised feedback.
Classes run live online and in person in Singapore, in small groups or 1-to-1.
APM builds on Performance Management (PM) and links closely to Strategic Business Leader (SBL).
