What the document covers
The direction identifies revised education requirements for applications submitted from January 2023 and the 2023 renewal cycle. The stated cycle matters when selecting the syllabus.
Specific requirements and implications
For rolling three-year renewal periods, the revision adds at least nine structured IT hours and reduces ethics from nine to six hours. Its transition rules identify which initial cycles apply. Product demonstrations and reviewing software do not qualify automatically as structured IT learning. The document instead points to learning such as data analytics, automation and artificial intelligence with objectives that develop public-accountancy competence.
