F1CIMA F1 tuition in Singapore and online. Single-company financial statements, accounting standards, business tax and working capital, with OT practice.
Overview
Financial Reporting (F1) is the Operational level Financial paper. It covers the regulatory environment for financial reporting, preparing the financial statements of a single company, applying key IFRS accounting standards, the principles of business taxation, and managing working capital, including cash, receivables, payables and inventory.
F1 is a 90-minute computer-based objective test, booked on demand at a test centre or taken online. Questions include multiple choice, number entry and other short-answer formats. Results are on a scale up to 150, and you need 100 to pass.
CIMA updated its syllabus in 2026. Objective tests follow the new content from January 2026. The exam format did not change.
Classes are led by Paul William, founder of TutorPOD, who holds CIMA, ACCA and CA Singapore qualifications. F1 lessons build each standard and statement step by step, then practise objective test questions with real-time problem solving in class. 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.
F1 sits alongside E1 Managing Finance in a Digital World and P1 Management Accounting. It leads to F2 Advanced Financial Reporting.
