ACCA has announced important syllabus updates for several papers in the September 2025 session. Here's a complete breakdown.
ACCA regularly updates its syllabuses to reflect changes in accounting standards, legislation, and best practice. The September 2025 session brings meaningful changes to several papers.
Taxation (TX)
The UK variant of TX has been updated to incorporate the 2024/25 Finance Act provisions. Nepal-variant students should note changes to the local taxation schedules as updated by IRD guidance for FY 2081/82.
Financial Reporting (FR)
Updated guidance on IFRS 17 (Insurance Contracts) has been incorporated into the FR syllabus. Students should ensure their study materials are the 2025 editions.
Strategic Business Leader (SBL)
The SBL examiner has updated the pre-seen material format. Greater emphasis is now placed on sustainability reporting and ESG frameworks in the case study scenarios.
What This Means for AVA Academy Students
All our 2025 batches use the latest Kaplan and BPP materials aligned to these changes. If you purchased materials in 2024 for a 2025 sitting, please speak to your tutor about any supplementary notes we have prepared.
