NOTE OF SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO P5
RATIONALE FOR CHANGES TO P5
ACCA periodically reviews its qualification syllabuses so that they fully meet the needs of stakeholders such as employers,students,regulatory and advisory bodies and learning providers.As a result of the latest review,ACCA is making changes to the ACCA Qualification,effective from June 2011.With each syllabus is included a specific rationale for these changes as far as each examination syllabus and study guide is concerned.
The changes made in P3 to meet regulatory requirements,had created some overlaps with P5 in areas of strategic management accounting.
The changes made to the P5 syllabus were therefore implemented to reduce the these overlaps and to improve the overall balance of content between the two papers.As a result,P5 now includes all quality and personnel related performance management issues which were previously covered in the P3 syllabus.
In addition to the above reasons,certain subject areas in the syllabus have been re-arranged and re-worded to make the syllabus clearer.Some additions have been made to update the syllabus and to ensure a better alignment with,and progression from F5.
The main changes to the syllabus are as shown in Tables 1 and 2 below:
