3 Centre for IT & Business Studies Nova Bldg, St Jean Road, Quatre Bornes, MAURITIUS Tel: Fax: E.Mail: ACCA Standards ASSOCIATION OF CHARTERED CERTIFIED ACCOUNTANTS ACCA s recognition as a Recognised Qualifying Body under the Companies Act 1989 means it has to set examinations which are at least equivalent in standard to those required to obtain a degree from a university in the UK. On completion of the Professional Stage the candidate will be fully equipped with the skills, knowledge and judgement to a standard appropriate to an individual embarking on a career as an accountant at Professional Level. THE COURSE IS IN THREE PARTS: Objective of Part 1 This stage sets the scene for the accountancy profession. The examinations concentrate on basic knowledge and skills which form the platform from which professional competence can be developed. The Knowledge and skills will be tested separately by subject and will be limited to straight-forward examples of application required as a prelude to more complex problems in Part 2. The Objective of Part 2 This stage continues the introduction of the new subject areas, develops students analytical skills and introduces students to the problems and situations that they will meet at work. Part 2 tests the application of the theory in the context of recognisable problems and conceptual understanding. It will consolidate knowledge of current principles, practices and techniques and begin to develop students ability to criticise current practices. Questions will present practical scenarios requiring students to select the best answer from the range of available solutions in order to achieve the specified objective. The standard of the examinations is that required in the final year of a UK degree. Objective of Part 3 The main aim of Part 3 is to establish evidence of competence to practice as a professional accountant in public practice, public sector or in industry and commerce. This requires candidates to demonstrate not only that they have mastered the range of required knowledge, skills and techniques, but also that they are able to apply them in a managerial context. By this stage, knowledge has to be fully integrated in the way it is used by professionals with a recognition of how the different subjects contribute to dealing with problems. This stage will present students with problems which test their skills and sensitivity in dealing with new contexts and unforeseen circumstances. In dealing with such situations, students will be expected to tailor solutions to problems appropriately and in a way which demonstrates their grasp of managerial skills. Although emphasis will be given to practical issues, students will also be expected to criticise current practice and express views on developments in accounting. They will also be expected to show evidence of the necessary personal qualities and interpersonal skills required of the professional accountant.
