We're joined by John Bennett from our learning partner Kaplan to talk about the upcoming Operational Case Study (OCS) exam scheduled for May 2024. 

As a long-established accounting tutor and test-author, John shares his vast experience of the OCS. He offers practical insights on this May's upcoming exam featuring a company called Kanann that designs and sells saddles for horse riding.  

This is a must for anyone about to - or planning to - sit the exam in May or August 2024, and also for future students who want to understand the main dynamics of the OCS.
