ACCA SBL - Strategic Business Leader

Strategic Business Leader

The Strategic Business Leader exam 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 won’t only be the technical quality of your answer that matters, but how professional your response is.

An important factor in SBL exam success is the building on the knowledge studied earlier in the ACCA qualification, including
governance, ethics, risk management, internal control, strategy and leadership.
