Variant help — OpenTuition Forums

Hi All,

I'm sure I've seen on the ACCA website a paragraph or article about UK variants basically saying that to gain a practicing certificate with audit you must complete papers P2 & P7 UK variants.

I've scoured the ACCA website for this and I just can't find it but I'm sure I've seen it before so if someone has the link I'll be eternallly grateful.

Incase anyone else was wondering I found my answer.

"Should you wish to practise as a registered auditor within the UK and/or Ireland (obtain the audit qualification/audit practising certificate), you must attempt the P2 UK/Irish and P7 UK/Irish papers from June 2011 onwards. This is not a retrospective ruling, so any International papers you have already passed will be unaffected by this ruling.

A schedule of differences between study guide and examinable documents for the

1. 2010 P2 International paper to 2011 P2 UK/IRL paper
2. 2010 P2 UK/IRL paper to 2011 P2 UK/IRL paper

can be found within the syllabus and study guide section for this paper

All UK and Irish professional accountancy bodies are governed by the requirements of the Statutory Audit Directive (SAD). In order to comply with the requirements of SAD– and to practise as an auditor – certain elements of UK/Irish legislation and regulation should be examined.

The revised Papers P2 (UK/IRL) and P7 (UK/IRL) fully meet regulatory and business environment requirements for those wishing to obtain the UK/Irish audit qualification and hence practise as a registered auditor in the UK/Ireland."
