Foreword
‘By the ACCA, for the ACCA’
These notes are designed with a simple mission, to fill the gap for Indian students who don’t find
comfort in studying from notes that are framed in a complex manner. Our first priority at Zell is, to
improve the results our students achieve by virtue of providing all that they need, be it quality
education, state of the art infrastructure and techniques or the next step, the content that perfectly
fits in making the trifecta or the winning formula.
Here at Zell, we don’t worry about the background, prior knowledge or preferences someone has. The
aim is simple, by the time a student is done with a paper, they are on the same page as anyone else
and that for us, should be enough knowledge to be able to truly call them a professional.
Keeping all this in mind, we bring to you these notes, created by us, for you, to truly help make the
difference and turn your journey of ACCA an even better one. This is just the beginning, there is more
in store.
