    Hi, I am about to study towards my ACCA, following graduation from University with an Accountancy degree.

    My honours years at University were mainly based upon journal articles, and our ability to reference and contrast them in our exams(in addition to using our own expanations).

    Is the referencing of articles expected in ACCA exams, or is it all theoretical? Obviously they will expect the names of certain famous theories and ideas, but is much more expected? Thanks.

    The referencing of articles is not required in ACCA.

    What is required is that you can demonstrate that you understand the relevant topics (and from a practical point of view rather purely theoretically).
