    Wuudbreak pre-seen analysis: CIMA MCS, November 2026 and February 2027

    This free case map covers the Wuudbreak pre-seen for the CIMA Management Case Study, the pre-seen used for the November 2026 and February 2027 exams. The map above links every fact in the 25-page pre-seen to the arguments you can make in the exam. This is Finntutors' independent analysis; the pre-seen itself is published by CIMA.

    The company

    Wuudbreak owns and runs nine holiday parks in Norrland, its home country. Each park sits in woodland next to a lake and offers upmarket activity holidays for adults and children.

    The first park was built in 1993, and Wuudbreak is the only provider of this style of holiday park in Norrland. Its currency is the N$ and it reports under IFRS.

    Its main rival in the pre-seen is Vannpark, which runs 11 caravan parks on coastal sites.

    Your role in the exam

    You are a financial manager at head office, working mainly on management accounting. You report to Adam Chee, the Senior Financial Manager, who reports to the Finance Director.
