ACCA Syllabus Review – Tutor Survey

ACCA conducts an annual syllabus review to ensure the ACCA Qualification is always relevant and providing students
with the skills and competencies required to be a modern finance professional.
As part of our review for the 2020/21 Strategic Professional syllabi, we would like to invite you to review and provide
input on the subject/s you teach.
We would like to ask you to complete the attached questionnaire. Please complete one questionnaire for the subject
you teach and if you would like to provide feedback on more than one subject, please use multiple feedback forms as
this will help us collate all feedback.
We will review all feedback against the 2019 IFAC International Education Standards and will endeavour to take your
feedback on board. We will work with the examining team to determine which changes we can implement now, and
which could be considered for future years. Given the breadth of tutors we work with globally, we cannot promise to
implement all changes suggested.
Your answers will remain confidential and will only be shared with the ACCA Examining Team and will only be used for
the purpose of this exam review.
Thank you in advance for providing your feedback.
