Exam Syllabus:

The syllabus is assessed by a three hour fifteen minute Computer Based Examination. It examines professional competences within the business reporting environment.

Students will be examined on concepts, theories, and principles, and on their ability to question and comment on proposed accounting treatments.

Students should be capable of relating professional issues to relevant concepts and practical situations. The evaluation of alternative accounting practices and the identification and prioritisation of issues will be a key element of the exam. Professional and ethical judgement will need to be exercised, together with the integration of technical knowledge when addressing business  reporting issues in a business context.

Students will be required to adopt either a stakeholder or an external focus in answering questions and to demonstrate personal skills such as problem solving, dealing with information and decision
making. Students will also have to demonstrate communication skills appropriate to the scenario.

The exam also deals with specific professional knowledge appropriate to the preparation and presentation of consolidated and other financial statements from accounting data, to conform with accounting standards.

Section A

Section A will consist of two scenario based questions that will total 50 marks.

The first question will be based on the financial statements of group entities, or extracts thereof (syllabus area D), and is also likely to require consideration of some financial reporting issues (syllabus area C).

Candidates should understand that in addition to the consideration of the numerical aspects of group
accounting (max 25 marks), a discussion and explanation of these numbers will also be required. The
second question in Section A will require candidates to consider the reporting implications and the ethical implications of specific events in a given scenario.

Section B

Students will be required to answer a further two questions in Section B, which may be scenario or case-study or essay based and will contain both discursive and computational elements. Section B could deal with any aspect of the syllabus but will always include either a full question, or part of a question, that
requires the appraisal of financial and/or non-financial information from either the preparer’s or another stakeholder’s perspective.

Two professional marks will be awarded in Section A and two in Section B.

Current issues

The current issues element of the paper (syllabus area F) may be examined in Section A or B but will not be a full question; it is more likely to form part of another question
