Section A<br />

Adventura Ltd was formed two years ago when a group of three friends decided to turn a hobby<br />

into a business. Offering a range of outdoor adventure pursuits to schools, group parties,<br />

families and individuals the owners are kept busy teaching mountaineering, canoeing, abseiling,<br />

potholing etc. Over the two years the business has grown and the owners are all fully involved<br />

with the practical aspects of the outdoor pursuits, leaving little time for the management of the<br />

business. As a result they have recently appointed Sabrina Khan as Book-keeper and Matt Tripp<br />

as Credit Controller to oversee the financial side of the business. Whilst Matt is kept busy<br />

chasing late payments from customers, Sabrina is setting up a financial accounting system to<br />

replace the stack of cardboard boxes full of receipts and invoices that have built up over the last<br />

two years.<br />

Although she is very busy with her task, Sabrina is pondering over a discussion she had<br />

yesterday with one of the owners. Adventura Ltd has been approached by Westwood Green<br />

plc, a large corporation that operates across the United Kingdom. Westwood Green is looking<br />

for an organisation such as Adventura Ltd to develop residential team-building and management<br />

training courses and run them for its entire workforce over a 12 month period. This would<br />

require substantial capital input as the current premises are not large enough to cater for<br />

residential activity. Westwood Green Plc has indicated a willingness to invest in the business if<br />

Adventura Ltd can provide evidence of its financial health.<br />

1. Other than book-keeper and credit controller identify two other business finance and<br />

accounting roles.<br />
