        ✅ Financial Management (FM) Module

        This module is the same as the ACCA PM exam.
        If you haven’t taken PM with ACCA yet, you’ll also get a free exemption after passing this module.
        Note: If you already passed FM or PM with ACCA, you’ll still need to take both modules for the BSc degree—but you won’t receive exemptions again.🧭 What Happens Next?Once you complete both modules, ACCA will automatically update your record and you’ll be ready to move to the Strategic Professional level.
