ACCA - The global body for professional accountants

ACCA recognises the importance of the role of tuition providers in supporting ACCA students and would like to offer as much support as possible. The resources in this section provides paper-specific guidance, F1 through to P7.

Examiner Interviews

ACCA's two sets of examiner interviews are available in this section of the website and are extremely valuable resources. The examiners' approach interviews are very useful when introducing students to a particular paper for the first time. They cover the main themes of each paper, information on how the exam is structured, advice on exam technique, tips on how to succeed and potential pitfalls to avoid.

The examiners' analysis interviews build on the examiners' approach interviews and cover student performance in examination sessions, highlighting where they are performing well, where they are performing less well, and how they can improve their performance.

ACCA Competency Framework

The ACCA Competency Framework is an online, interactive tool which demonstrates the different competencies developed through all elements of the ACCA Qualification (exams, ethics module and experience requirement) and links these competencies to jobs in finance. It is a valuable tool to illustrate how ACCA members are complete finance professionals and have a comprensive skills set to work in a variety of accounting and finance roles.
