ACCA - Applied Skills

The ACCA Applied Skills level (papers Corporate and Business Law through Financial Management) are made up of 6 papers and continues your introduction to the core areas of financial and management accounting as well as general business principles and theories. These papers are assessed by computer based exams in March, June, September and December. Corporate and Business Law (LW) is a two hour exam, available as an on-demand Computer Based Exam.

HTFT recommends leaving Financial Reporting (FR) or Taxation (TX) to the end, as they are the assumed knowledge for Strategic Business Reporting (SBR) and Advanced Taxation (ATX) respectively.
