ACCA考试年限是多久?证书会过期吗?

发布时间：2021-10-22

ACCA作为专业的会计师组织，在很多人心中都是非常有分量的资格证书，因此每年的ACCA考季都会有数不胜数的ACCA学员和会员加入到ACCA组织，进一步增大ACCA的发展规模。说起ACCA的发展历史，那可就要追溯到1904年了，距今已经有110多年，历史悠久的ACCA发展速度也是极快的，目前全球各地都有ACCA的学员和会员。

报考ACCA考试，不是仅为了成为ACCA的一员，更重要的是提高自己的能力与专业性。不过想顺利通过ACCA考试还是需要一定的毅力和耐力的，很多ACCA学员在报名前觉得自己可以坚持下去，最终能高分通过ACCA考试，但是在复习的时候却不能坚持下去，最终半途而废。

一.ACCA考试年限是多久?

ACCA考试需要学员通过的科目有13科，科目较多，复习起来自然也是有一定难度的。不过越有难度的考试，越难复习的考试，不是正是说明了ACCA资格证书的含金量越高吗?但是ACCA考试难并不代表ACCA考试就可以允许ACCA学员一直考下去，而没有任何的时间限制。

根据ACCA最新的规定，ACCA在专业阶段的科目的考试会存在一个7年的有效期，就是要求ACCA学员必须要在7年的时间内顺利的通过SBR和SBL的考试，当然还需完成规定的两门选修科目的考试。在规定的时间内通过所有科目的考试是必须要遵守的ACCA规定，否则成绩过了7年就会实现滚动式作废处理。

二.ACCA证书会过期吗?

ACCA协会规定ACCA考试成绩会有期限，这要求ACCA学员必须在规定内通过ACCA所有科目的考试。但是ACCA证书会过期吗?ACCA证书是不是可以永久的有效呢?

目前51题库考试学习网了解到ACCA总部并没有明确的规定说明ACCA证书的期限问题。这也就意味着ACCA证书是不会过期的，当ACCA学员会员把证书拿到手，那就是永久有效的，不存在证书过期的说法。不过按时缴纳年费是每个学员和会员必须要做到的事情，要想要永久的使ACCA会员资格证书有效还是需要按照ACCA的规定，按时的缴纳ACCA年费。

三.ACCA准会员必须要积累3年的工作经验?

有些ACCA学员已经拿到ACCA的准会员资格证书，但是在最终拿ACCA会员资格证书的那一步上犯了难。按照规定，ACCA准会员必须要积累满3年的相关的工作经历才能顺利的成为ACCA会员。可是3年说长不长说短不短，对于一些已经毕业工作好几年的人员来说，这3年意味着更多的ACCA年轻的会员的出现，也加大了个人的发展压力和竞争力。但是无论如何，规定就是规定，不能因为个别人员的要求而改变的，因此三年工作经验是必要的。

今天的分享就到这里了，预祝各位同学都能顺利取得ACCA证书，想了解更多ACCA相关资讯，敬请关注51题库考试学习网!

(c) insider dealing. (5 marks)

正确答案：
(c) Insider dealing
Explanation of term
Insider dealing means using ‘inside information’ (i.e. price-sensitive information relating to the issuer of securities) to gain
advantage when ‘dealing’ (i.e. acquiring or disposing) in securities.
Ethical risks
Insider dealing is a potential area of conflict and contention for accountants in industry and commerce (i.e. employed
professional accountants) in particular (because of their exposure to price-sensitive information).
Acts of insider dealing contravene the fundamental principles of integrity and confidentiality:
■ integrity – a professional accountant should be honest;
■ confidentiality – a professional accountant should respect the confidentiality of information acquired during the course
of performing professional services and should not use or disclose it without proper and specific authority.
Professional accountants in public practice who become privy to price-sensitive information will similarly be in breach of their
duties of integrity and confidentiality if they get involved in insider dealing. Also, the reputation of individual practitioners and
their firms may be put at risk by allegations of insider dealing even though they have no involvement with the practice. For
example, if an auditor does not detect when an entity’s management is involved in insider dealing.
Sufficiency of current ethical guidance
Relevant current ethical guidance, that is covered by the principles of integrity and confidentiality, is sufficient to explain the
ethical risks of insider dealing but cannot prevent its practice. Even where there are laws to prosecute insider dealing,
penalties (such as seven years in jail and/or unlimited fines) have been ineffective in combating insider dealing.

5 Jones and Cousin, a public quoted company, operate in twenty seven different countries and earn revenue and incur

costs in several currencies. The group develops, manufactures and markets products in the medical sector. The growth

of the group has been achieved by investment and acquisition. It is organised into three global business units which

manage their sales in international markets, and take full responsibility for strategy and business performance. Only

five per cent of the business is in the country of incorporation. Competition in the sector is quite fierce.

The group competes across a wide range of geographic and product markets and encourages its subsidiaries to

enhance local communities by reinvestment of profits in local educational projects. The group’s share of revenue in a

market sector is often determined by government policy. The markets contain a number of different competitors

including specialised and large international corporations. At present the group is awaiting regulatory approval for a

range of new products to grow its market share. The group lodges its patents for products and enters into legal

proceedings where necessary to protect patents. The products are sourced from a wide range of suppliers, who, once

approved both from a qualitative and ethical perspective, are generally given a long term contract for the supply of

goods. Obsolete products are disposed of with concern for the environment and the health of its customers, with

reusable materials normally being used. The industry is highly regulated in terms of medical and environmental laws

and regulations. The products normally carry a low health risk.

The Group has developed a set of corporate and social responsibility principles during the period which is the

responsibility of the Board of Directors. The Managing Director manages the risks arising from corporate and social

responsibility issues. The group wishes to retain and attract employees and follows policies which ensure equal

opportunity for all the employees. Employees are informed of management policies, and regularly receive in-house

training.

The Group enters into contracts for fixed rate currency swaps and uses floating to fixed rate interest rate swaps. The

cash flow effects of these swaps match the cash flows on the underlying financial instruments. All financial

instruments are accounted for as cash flow hedges. A significant amount of trading activity is denominated in the

Dinar and the Euro. The dollar is its functional currency.

Required:

(a) Describe the principles behind the Management Commentary discussing whether the commentary should be

mandatory or whether directors should be free to use their judgement as to what should be included in such

a commentary. (13 marks)

正确答案：
(a) The purpose of the Management Commentary (MC) is to present a balanced and comprehensive analysis of the development
position and performance of the entity in the year. Additionally, it deals with the main trends and factors behind the
development, position and performance of the entity during the financial year and those factors which are likely to affect the
entity in the future. The MC should enable users to assess the strategies adopted by the entity and the potential success of
those strategies. The key principles are as follows:
– The MC should be seen through the eyes of the directors and should focus on those matters relevant to the members of
the company.
– The review should look forward, identifying trends and factors relevant to the assessment of the current and future
performance of the entity.
– The MC should supplement and complement the financial statements so as to improve disclosure by providing additional
financial and non-financial information.
– The review should be comprehensive, understandable, reliable, relevant and represent faithfully the underlying strategies
and trends.
– Both good and bad aspects of the position of the entity should be discussed in a balanced and neutral way.
– The MC should be comparable over time, and the information should be supportable and consistent with the financial
statements to which it relates.
The increase in transparency and accountability improves the links between strategy, performance and risk, and the
evaluation of directors, and how they are paid.
A mandatory MC would make it easier for companies to judge the content of the reports and the necessary standard of
reporting, and would mean that the reports may be more robust and comparable. If the MC is not mandatory then this could
lead to uncertainty, risks of non compliance and possible mis-information being shown in the review. Directors may adopt a
policy of stating the minimum amount of disclosure which will frustrate the significant benefits to be gained from using
financial reporting as a strategic communication tool. ‘Necessity to report’ decisions will become subjective with possible legal
outcomes. The minimalist approach may also prove problematic if directors’ insurers reject claims because of ‘non-disclosure’
of information. Senior executives and the company board will play a more prominent role in deciding upon matters of MC
content than will be the case with mandatory reporting practice. Influential factors driving MC disclosure practice may become
the following rather than the broader issues:
(1) those expected to have short-term financial impact,
(2) whether shareholder decisions may be influenced,
(3) issues of risk management.
However, it can be argued that a mandatory MC could produce stereo-typed reports which would be based on a checklist
approach. Thus innovation in corporate reporting would be stifled. The power of market forces could be enough to ensure
that entities produce relevant and reliable information. Every company is different as are their challenges and risks and in anon-mandatory environment, companies could produce individual MCs to reflect those challenges and risks.

4 (a) The purpose of ISA 250 Consideration of Laws and Regulations in an Audit of Financial Statements is to

establish standards and provide guidance on the auditor’s responsibility to consider laws and regulations in an

audit of financial statements.

Explain the auditor’s responsibilities for reporting non-compliance that comes to the auditor’s attention

during the conduct of an audit. (5 marks)

正确答案：
4 CLEEVES CO
(a) Reporting non-compliance
Non-compliance refers to acts of omission or commission by the entity being audited, either intentional or unintentional, that
are contrary to the prevailing laws or regulations.
To management
Regarding non-compliance that comes to the auditor’s attention the auditor should, as soon as practicable, either:
■ communicate with those charged with governance; or
■ obtain audit evidence that they are appropriately informed.
However, the auditor need not do so for matters that are clearly inconsequential or trivial and may reach agreement1 in
advance on the nature of such matters to be communicated.
If in the auditor’s judgment the non-compliance is believed to be intentional and material, the auditor should communicate
the finding without delay.
If the auditor suspects that members of senior management are involved in non-compliance, the auditor should report the
matter to the next higher level of authority at the entity, if it exists (e.g. an audit committee or a supervisory board). Where
no higher authority exists, or if the auditor believes that the report may not be acted upon or is unsure as to the person to
whom to report, the auditor would consider seeking legal advice.
To the users of the auditor’s report on the financial statements
If the auditor concludes that the non-compliance has a material effect on the financial statements, and has not been properly
reflected in the financial statements, the auditor expresses a qualified (i.e. ‘except for disagreement’) or an adverse opinion.
If the auditor is precluded by the entity from obtaining sufficient appropriate audit evidence to evaluate whether or not noncompliance
that may be material to the financial statements has (or is likely to have) occurred, the auditor should express a
qualified opinion or a disclaimer of opinion on the financial statements on the basis of a limitation on the scope of the audit.
Tutorial note: For example, if management denies the auditor access to information from which he would be able to assess
whether or not illegal dumping had taken place (and, if so, the extent of it).
If the auditor is unable to determine whether non-compliance has occurred because of limitations imposed by circumstances
rather than by the entity, the auditor should consider the effect on the auditor’s report.
Tutorial note: For example, if new legal requirements have been announced as effective but the detailed regulations are not
yet published.
To regulatory and enforcement authorities
The auditor’s duty of confidentiality ordinarily precludes reporting non-compliance to a third party. However, in certain
circumstances, that duty of confidentiality is overridden by statute, law or by courts of law (e.g. in some countries the auditor
is required to report non-compliance by financial institutions to the supervisory authorities). The auditor may need to seek
legal advice in such circumstances, giving due consideration to the auditor’s responsibility to the public interest.

(ii) Briefly explain the extent to which the application of sensitivity analysis might be useful in deciding

which refrigeration system to purchase and discuss the limitations inherent in its use. (3 marks)

正确答案：
(ii) Sensitivity analysis could be used to assess how responsive the NPV calculated in part (a) in respect of each decision
option change is to changes in the variables used to calculate it. The application of sensitivity analysis requires that the
net present values are calculated under alternative assumptions in order to determine how sensitive they are to changing
conditions. In this particular example then a relatively small change in the forecast cash flows might lead to a change
in the investment decision. The application of sensitivity analysis can indicate those variables to which the NPV is most
sensitive and the extent to which these variables may change before an investment results in a negative NPV. Thus the
application of sensitivity analysis may provide management with an indication of why a particular project might fail. The
directors of Stay Cool Ltd should give consideration to the potential variations in the independent variables which feature
in the decision-making process such as:
– estimated revenues
– estimated operating costs
– estimated working lives
– estimated repair costs
– the estimated discount rate i.e. cost of capital of each alternative investment.
Sensitivity analysis has some serious limitations. The use of the method requires changes in each variable under
consideration are isolated. However management may be focused on what happens if changes occur in two or more
critical variables. Another problem relating to the use of sensitivity analysis to forecast outcomes lies in the fact that it
provides no indication of the likelihood of the occurrence of changes in critical variables.
