This course is for ambitious individuals working in accountancy, or related fields, who have completed the Applied Skills Level of the ACCA qualification and are looking to become business or financial leaders. 

The ACCA SBR course comprises a wide-ranging syllabus, which includes various accounting standards, some introduced in Financial Reporting and others examined only in SBR. 

The course also features current financial and accounting issues, exposure drafts and narrative reporting. 

Questions are set in the context of single entities, holding, groups, private limited companies or public sector, for-profit, or not-for-profit organisations.

The ACCA SBR course also considers the perspectives of investors and other stakeholders. This requires analysing and interpreting information, explaining how transactions impact financial statements and other reports, as well as explaining accounting treatments and disclosures.
