1. Kin W. Chan’s mock papers (Jun 17) has covered all Cost Allocation, FX hedging, Sustainability, Overtrading, Z-score, Corporate failure Listing rules and Treasury Operation topics which have been examined in Jun 17 examination.

2. Kin W. Chan was a speaker for HKICPA Module B preparation seminar in Jun 17 diet and he correctly tipped the examination topics of the examination in Jun 17 diet. And he will also take this role in Dec 17 diet in order to help the students know the details in the seminar.

3. Kin W. Chan will cover all important and highlighted topics in details (like what he did in Jun 17) in Module B Education and Revision Class in order to help students to know what to focus and save time. And on the other hand, a summary quicksheet of all topics has been updated and will be taught for the coming diet to help students to cover the whole Syllabus as well.

4. Kin W. Chan teaching approaches will be focusing on Corporate Finance Concepts, Calculation and Application, which are considered to be the main area and examination style in coming Dec 17 examinations.

The pass rate for QPD in Jun 17 is raised up to 48%. Should we expect the pass rate of this module would stand at similar level in Dec 17 diet and onwards?

The answer is PROBABLY NOT.

When you look back on the pass rate of all the QP modules, the pass rate is really fluctuating from diet to diet but it still maintain a similar rolling average over years. Let’s take QPC as an example. The QPC pass rate is 59% in Dec 16 diet, but it drops to 32% in Jun 17 diet in which it is the lowest pass rate since Dec 2010 while the six-diet rolling average of QPC still ranged from 41-46%.

As for QPD, the six-diet rolling average ranged from 32-37%. It is obvious that the pass rate for Jun 17 diet is at the very high end. It would be really risky that someone expect the pass rate for QPD would still stand at this high end for Dec 17 diet. 

QP examination will be reformed in Dec 2019 diet. Take a close look to below summary about present and new QP exam structure:

Present:  Unlimited attempt for each module
New: Maximum 4 attempts for each module

Present: No need to start all modules again when fail one module more than 4 attempts.
New: Fail each module with more than 4 attempts is required to reattempt all modules. (i.g. When a student passed module A, B and C, but failed module D more than 4 attempts, he/she would be required to start all over again.)

What is the Enhanced QP?
The QP prepared and monitored by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA) is specifically tailored to Hong Kong's business environment. It is synonymous with quality and a choice for students who seek to stand out among their peers. A professional qualification opens many otherwise closed doors.

The QP breaks the traditional learning mode, exposing students to real business cases. It encourages students to think independently. In workshops, problems are presented which require effective and professional solutions. Emphasis is placed on demonstrating the ability to make professional decisions, contribute through teamwork and interact in a working group.

The QP utilizes the practical business application of accounting, taxation, auditing and IT. Using proven training methods, it prepares you for a career as a competent and forward thinking accountant with a successful business career.

The QP curriculum is a comprehensive, professional and accredited training programme highly regarded in accounting and financial sectors.

Programme Structure
The Enhanced QP comprises the QP and the Final Exam (FE),

QP
The QP objective is to provide candidates with the opportunity to develop the application skills and competencies which are essential for a professional accountant.

QP comprises of 4 modules:
 

Requirement for each module:

• Self-study for 14 weeks using study materials provided by the institute.
• Complete two full-day workshops led by experienced facilitators (each workshop lasts eight hours including a one-hour meal break).
• Pass a three-hour open-book examination.
   

Workshop
Completion of workshop is a prerequisite to sit the module examination of the relevant module. You are required to attend all two full-day workshops and demonstrate your successful accomplishment of the workshop objectives, via active participation. You are required to demonstrate the development of the intended learning objectives by attaining at least 70% of the development indicators for satisfactory completion of workshops.

Those candidates who are unable to obtain satisfactory performance for the workshop are not eligible to take the module examination.

FE
After successful completion of the four QP modules, you take a six-hour open book FE (to be taken in two sessions of three hours for each three-hour session of examination plus half hour reading time).

The FE tests your ability to integrate knowledge and skills from any part of the QP module syllabuses and apply these across all fields of competency, demonstrating a level of skills appropriate to a professional practitioner.
