Chartered Accountants Ireland was delighted to see the publication this week of a revised specification for Leaving Cert accounting by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment.
The development of a new curriculum that accurately reflects the role of the modern accountant has long been an advocacy priority for the Institute and following extensive engagement with officials from the Department of Education, the publication of the revised specification is an important milestone.
Leaving Certificate Accounting students will now have the opportunity to engage with themes including digitalisation, sustainability, ethical decision-making, and financial regulatory concerns as part of their coursework.
The draft specification is open for public consultation until Friday 28 April and the Institute (under the auspices of CCAB-I) will be making a submission in response to this which will be published on our website.
