@MaryvaizAs far as I know,ACCA does not have an economics paper like us CA people do so it's not your fault.I would advise you to daily read the Business page of The News or Dawn.Since you don't have the basic concepts,you'll not understand much initially but in a few days,you'll start getting the hang of things.Read the articles thoroughly and soon you'll realize that you have improved.Your main wish is to be updated about the current economic conditions so you don't have to learn the basic principles of economics.You can also read magazines like The Economist if you are really interested.ICAP also publishes a quarterly Accounting magazineyou can download it from ICAP's website(under the Publication's tab).Similarly,yahoo.com has a finance favourite on it's pageyou can daily get international news from that.With enough reading,writing skills improve automatically too.Good luck!
