| Strategic Business Leader (SBL) You’ll demonstrate the right blend of technical, ethical and professional skills in the evaluation, synthesis and presentations of responses through the context of an innovative case study. The Strategic Business Leader exam is designed to mirror the workplace and presents the student with real-world challenges. Students will complete a number of tasks and must demonstrate that they have the right technical, ethical and professional skills to add value to the organisations they work in. The syllabus brings together core areas from governance, risk and strategy, links to other leadership areas such as organisational control, innovation and change management – and uses new technologies and data analytics. Ethics remain crucial. ACCA pioneered ethics when it introduced the Professional Ethics Module, and it remains a core element of the ACCA Qualification. Find out more about the Ethics and Professional Skills module. All of these elements combine to produce a powerful, unique way of assessing whether a student is ready to hit the ground running when they start their career. | |
P2 | Strategic Business Reporting (SBR) To apply knowledge, skills, and exercise professional judgement in the application and evaluation of financial reporting principles and practices in a range of business contexts and situations. Should you wish to practise as a registered auditor within the UK and/or Ireland (obtain the audit qualification/audit practising certificate), you must attempt the P2 UK/Irish and P7 UK/Irish papers from June 2011 on wards. This is not a retrospective ruling, so any International papers you have already passed will be unaffected by this ruling.All UK and Irish professional accountancy bodies are governed by the requirements of the Statutory Audit Directive (SAD). In order to comply with the requirements of SAD – and to practise as an auditor – certain elements of UK/Irish legislation and regulation should be examined.The revised Papers P2 (UK/IRL) and P7 (UK/IRL) fully meet regulatory and business environment requirements for those wishing to obtain the UK/Irish audit qualification and hence practise as a registered auditor in the UK/Ireland. |
