The "ACCA F1/FAB: Business & Technology Foundations" course offers a thorough grounding in the key areas of business and technology, forming an essential first step toward an ACCA qualification. The course begins by exploring the purpose, types, and structures of various business organisations, examining the critical role stakeholders play and how internal and external factors influence business operations. Learners will also gain insight into how technology continues to reshape the business landscape, from operational processes to customer engagement.

Organisational structure and corporate governance are explored in detail, with a focus on how functional, divisional, and matrix structures affect organisational performance. Students will study the importance of corporate governance principles, the impact of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and the role of ethics in ensuring sustainable and responsible business practices. Real-world case studies help to illustrate governance challenges and ethical dilemmas that professionals may face.

Accounting systems and compliance form a crucial part of the course, teaching learners about the role of accounting functions, financial systems, internal controls, risk management, fraud prevention, and regulatory compliance. By understanding these systems, students are better prepared to maintain accurate reporting and uphold financial integrity within an organisation.

Leadership, management, and teamwork are given significant attention, offering a comparison of leadership and management theories, an overview of different leadership styles, and an understanding of motivational theories that drive team performance. Practical strategies for effective team dynamics and workplace leadership are included to prepare learners for real-world professional environments.

The course also addresses personal effectiveness and communication, guiding students on how to improve workplace communication skills, manage time and stress effectively, and continuously develop their personal and professional capabilities. In today’s rapidly evolving business world, understanding the role of information systems, data security, e-commerce, and emerging digital technologies is essential, and this course ensures learners are well-versed in how technology drives business success.

Through quizzes, case studies, and practical assessments, students will reinforce their learning and develop skills applicable to a wide range of business settings. By completing this course, learners will have built a strong foundation for progressing into more advanced ACCA studies and thriving in roles that demand both business acumen and technological competence.
