CASL to revolutionise curriculum

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka) will launch a revolutionary curriculum to produce visionary Chartered Accountants in keeping with changing times and market needs.

The revised curriculum of the internationally recognised Chartered Accounting qualification, to be launched shortly by CA Sri Lanka, has been developed to produce proficient chartered accountants with leadership skills to drive businesses across any sector.

The revised curriculum consists of three vital elements, encompassing knowledge, skills and qualities, giving future chartered accountants the ability to use their astute knowledge in decision making through sound financial reasoning while being cohesive to economic, industry and business circumstances.

The new curriculum will provide vital organisational skills integrated into strategic decision making in a consistent manner, apart from infusing the aspiring chartered accountant with characterised values inspiring excellence in performance while maintaining social responsibility.

The new curriculum has been developed on a pillar concept, divided into three levels - executive, business and corporate.

The curriculum will focus on the five pillars of financial accounting and reporting, management accounting and finance, tax and law, assurance and ethics, and management.
