FOUNDATION-LEVEL QUALIFICATIONS
ACCA will be introducing an improved student experience for all exams available by CBE. At the same time, for the ACCA qualification F1 - F3 and the Foundations in Accountancy equivalent exams (FAB, FMA and FFA) new question types, known as multi-task questions (MTQs) will be included as a section within the exam. MTQs contain a series of tasks which relate to one or more scenarios.

When MTQs are introduced, the structure of these exams will change so ensure you access the right support materials for the exam you are taking. Please note that the syllabus content will not change except for ACCA's normal annual updates.

These changes will be introduced into CBE exams on 26 February 2014, and they will be introduced into the paper exams in June 2014.

It should be noted that between the period of 1 February and 24 February, the CBEs for Foundation level exams (MA1, MA2, FMA, FA1, FA2, FFA and FAB) will be continue to be based on the 2013 syllabus and study guides. There is a system outage on 25 February for the update, and the 2014 syllabus and study guides will be examined from 26 February.
