Can I use an older FM book?
ACCA's official syllabus-changes document lists no changes to this paper for 2026-27, so a 2025-26 study text covers the same ground. The community consensus (OpenTuition tutors included) is that an older text is fine if you pair it with a current exam kit - kit questions are updated every year.
Always double-check the edition against your exam sitting before buying. When in doubt, ACCA's official syllabus documents are free and definitive.
