In 2007, a new syllabus for the ACCA qualification was published in consultation with key stakeholders. Part of the syllabus addresses the increasing pressure on the accountancy profession to keep up to date with sustainability developments and ensure that the level of expertise is sufficient to deal with sustainability requirements going forward (regulatory and non regulatory) - the first professional body to make such a move. The syllabus puts added emphasis on social and environmental responsibilities and recognises the importance of ethical conduct - particularly that accountants be people of integrity who will do the right thing, rather than what is convenient or simply permissible.

To download a summary of the ACCA syllabus in relation to its coverage of sustainability, refer to the ‘related documents’ section of this page.
