New ACCA PAPER & THINGS Special...
The ACCA qualification is changing in SEPTEMBER 2018
The big news is a new paper replacing P1 and P3
You have to have passed BOTH of these by June 18 - to be exempt
If you have passed just 1 then you lose that pass :(
The 3 Levels will have new names
Applied Knowledge (Old F1 - F3)
Applied Skills (Old F4 - F9)
Strategic Professional (Old P1 - P7)
Strategic Professional Level
Will have just 2 mandatory papers:
Strategic Business Reporting
Strategic Business leader
1) Strategic Business Leader
A combination of P1 and P3 to an extent - but more to it than that
4 hours long - 1 hour reading time
Realistic case study involving a modern business where decisions need to be made, measured and effectively communicated
2) Strategic Business Reporting
A bit wider than P2 - testing the vital skills needed to explain and communicate the implications of transactions and reporting.
