This book is the first in the management accounting framework literature to provide readers with insights on how to manage revenue and profit models by developing relationships with customers. The Principal Editor, Professor Kenichi Suzuki, is the founding father of Fixed Revenue Accounting (FRA) and his inputs offer invaluable insights on how businesses can increase revenue and adopt preventative measures to deal with the fluctuations in the economy.FRA is a new management accounting tool that evaluates and manages the impacts of fixed customers on a company's financial health. 'Fixed customers' refer to frequent or regular customers who are expected to repeat their purchases. Their repeated purchases produce stability of revenue which in turn creates a stable profit environment and certainty. The profitability and stability generated by fixed customers can be utilized for strategic management, planning, and decision making to encourage investment for future growth.This book provides a deep understanding of the usefulness of the new management accounting tool, and covers both the introduction of the concept of FRA and accompanying case studies in the contexts of Japanese manufacturing and service companies adopting the FRA model by examining profitability, stability, and growth analysis.

Written by former CIMA examiners in conjunction with the CIMA faculty, this book includes: practice questions throughout; complete revision section; topic summaries; recommended reading articles from a range of journals; and CBA style mock exam.

The examiner-reviewed P5 Practice and Revision Kit provides invaluable guidance on how to approach the exam and contains past ACCA exam questions for you to try. The examiner has emphasised that simply understanding the advantages and disadvantages of different performance management approaches will not be sufficient to pass the exam. You must apply specific knowledge to the scenarios in the exam questions. The questions in the Practice and Revision Kit reflect the scenario-based questions you will find on the exam.
