ACCA syllabus changes for September 2020

ACCA PQs sitting exams this September need to be on top of any syllabus changes being introduced.

For PM sitters big data and data analytics have been added. Performance data is another addition, along with a total new section on the risks around IS and data analytics. That’s the only real changes at the Applied Skills Level.

There are more changes at the Strategic Profession. The two key papers affected at APM and BSR, although there has been some minor tinkering on AAA.

Process automation and the internet of things have been added to the syllabus, as has AI and the use of presentation tools.

For SBR the examiners want you to be able to discuss the impact of current reporting issues in corporate reporting. We are talking cryptocurrency and environmental issues here.
