ACCA首开全新的职业道德和专业技能模块,培养学员至关重要的职业道德行为素养和判断能力,对职业成功非常关键的沟通、商业、创新、分析和评估技能形成互补。该新模块将培养学员具有现代工作场所必备的专业技能。
ACCA将取消P1和P3,取而代之的是一门新的科目:Strategic Business Leader(考试时间为4小时)。这是一门基于现实商业情境的创新案例考试,意在有效考察学员在评估、整合和陈述答案的过程中运用技术能力、专业能力和职业道德意识。
P2将进阶为Strategic Business Reporting,把当前专业资格对报告的全面审视提升到一个全新的阶段。在保留公司报告的支撑原则的同时,加强学员的相关能力,使学员们更加自信地使用商业语言,向更广泛的利益相关者阐述报告。
P1&P3整合后,具体是怎么考的呢?
首先,考试大纲有了明显的变化,新考纲如下图:

其次,Strategic Business Leader(以下统一简称SBL)是综合案例题考试,全是必做题,考试总时长为4小时,目测是对考生上半身和下半身的双重考验!
目前协会公布了两份样卷,一份由3大题组成,一份由5大题组成,所有问题完全围绕case展开。总分里大约有80%是technical marks,20%为professional skill marks,如职业敏感度。
职业敏感度主要考察考生是否具有企业高管的专业素养,能否第一时间发现问题,并有条理地提供解决方案。
在现实案例的考核方式下,考生需要以企业准高管,Advisor与战略制定者的角度,对单一企业所面临的多维度问题进行多元化非系统性陈列。信息来源以文字叙述为主,同时伴随调查问卷、董事会报告、综合报告、邮件、图片、甚至excel表格。考生需身临其境,快速反应,无模板答案可循。
简而言之,很难的样子,目测没有高管经验的小白们在考试中将受到一万点暴击…
那么,想要顺利通过考试,哪些能力是学员们必须具备的呢?

二、P2进阶为SBR
另外,P2在进阶成Strategic Business Reporting之后,也不是光改了名字那么简单哦!
Strategic Business Reporting考试大纲如下图:


其次,SBR考试时长仍为3小时15分钟,Section A&B都是必答题,Section A有两题,第一题是合并,要求explain with suitable calculation,计算占分最多25分。第二题有可能会涉及职业道德的主题。
Section B 也是两题, case study questions, 在Section B的题目当中会要求考生对公司财务信息或非财务信息站在报表编制者的角度,或其他利益相关者的角度进行评价 Professional marks 仍然是4分。Current issue有可能在Section A当中,也有可能在section B当中考。
而大纲中的每一个part,都相应的要求考生掌握下列能力:
