发布时间：2019-07-20

ACCA是特许公认会计师，在我国也俗称为国际注册会计师，知名度仅次于CPA，以全英文考试、科目众多、难度较大、含金量高等的特点，在财会领域的地位不可撼动，目前在中国已拥有超过2万多名会员和4万多名学员，深受各位财会人的喜爱，但是关于ACCA对于财会人具体有什么帮助，小编整理了如下内容。

一、就业优势

1.工资待遇的涨幅空间大

ACCA从上世纪90年代进入中国，受到的认可度也越来越高。主要在欧美背景的外企、外资会计事务所、在海外上市的企业受到了广泛的认可。ACCA为在中国的跨国公司、大型企业和国际"五大"会计公司全面认可，年薪在30-80万RMB。据统计，伦敦刚获得ACCA资格会计师预计可以得到高薪大概在平均年薪3万-3.5万英镑，随着英国经济的不断景气，收入还在上升。

2.对ACCA人才潜在需求量大

ACCA岗位缺口大，ACCA人才缺口近40万，具有享誉国际，薪资待遇高，知识体系完善，科目可免考，报考门槛低，考试周期灵活等优势。根据ACCA官方调查，其会员目前在中国的年薪分布在30万-200万不等。在中国超过75%的ACCA会员在任职财务岗位三年内获得职位大幅提升，41%以上的ACCA会员取得财务总监及以上职位，ACCA成为财务人士职位晋升的黄金资质。

二、职业生涯帮助

1.求职

ACCA证书在HR眼里是一个黄金标签，ACCA证书是求职者对财务知识掌握的证明，也是求职者学习能力和时间管理能力的证明，这些都是工作中最重要的能力，自然也是最吸引HR的东西。

2.升职

ACCA作为一张稀有且高含金量的财会类高端证书，一直以来，都被视为财务管理层岗位招聘条件之一。特别是在外企或是涉及跨国业务的本土企业，ACCA会员掌握的国际会计准则一直是企业财务报告的刚需。在四大中，毕马威的咨询版块一直将ACCA视为升经理的qualification之一，ACCA的重要性毋庸置疑。

3.跳槽

ACCA证书是资深财务人最好的证明，一大原因在于，在拿下ACCA证书多年后可以直接变为FCCA，即资深ACCA会员。别人简历上写“5年财务管理经验”，而你，写的则是“8年ACCA会员”，一下就从众多求职者中脱颖而出了。

ACCA证书在求职、升职和跳槽时均能发挥不同的价值，这也是ACCA证书倍受财务人青睐的一大原因。ACCA证书会帮助财务人在职场中走的更稳，更远。

 

下面小编为大家准备了 ACCA考试 的相关考题，供大家学习参考。

6 Assume today’s date is 16 April 2005.

Henry, aged 48, is the managing director of Happy Home Ltd, an unquoted UK company specialising in interior

design. He is wealthy in his own right and is married to Helen, who is 45 years old. They have two children – Stephen,

who is 19, and Sally who is 17.

As part of his salary, Henry was given 3,000 shares in Happy Home Ltd with an option to acquire a further 10,000

shares. The options were granted on 15 July 2003, shortly after the company started trading, and were not part of

an approved share option scheme. The free shares were given to Henry on the same day.

The exercise price of the share options was set at the then market value of ￡1·00 per share. The options are not

capable of being exercised after 10 years from the date of grant. The company has been successful, and the current

value of the shares is now ￡14·00 per share. Another shareholder has offered to buy the shares at their market value,

so Henry exercised his share options on 14 April 2005 and will sell the shares next week, on 20 April 2005.

With the company growing in size, Henry wishes to recruit high quality staff, but the company lacks the funds to pay

them in cash. Henry believes that giving new employees the chance to buy shares in the company would help recruit

staff, as they could share in the growth in value of Happy Home Ltd. Henry has heard that there is a particular share

scheme that is suitable for small, fast growing companies. He would like to obtain further information on how such

a scheme would work.

Henry has accumulated substantial assets over the years. The family house is owned jointly with Helen, and is worth

￡650,000. Henry has a ￡250,000 mortgage on the house. In addition, Henry has liquid assets worth ￡340,000

and Helen has shares in quoted companies currently worth ￡125,000. Henry has no forms of insurance, and believes

he should make sure that his wealth and family are protected. He is keen to find out what options he should be

considering.

Required:

(a) (i) State how the gift of the 3,000 shares in Happy Home Ltd was taxed. (1 mark)

正确答案：
(a) (i) Gift of shares
Shares, which are given free or sold at less than market value, are charged to income tax on the difference between the
market value and the amount paid (if any) for the shares. Henry was given 3,000 shares with a market value of ￡1 at
the time of gift, so he was assessed to income tax on ￡3,000, in the tax year 2003/04.

(b) The Superior Fitness Co (SFC), which is well established in Mayland, operates nine centres. Each of SFC’s

centres is similar in size to those of HFG. SFC also provides dietary plans and fitness programmes to its clients.

The directors of HFG have decided that they wish to benchmark the performance of HFG with that of SFC.

Required:

Discuss the problems that the directors of HFG might experience in their wish to benchmark the performance

of HFG with the performance of SFC, and recommend how such problems might be successfully addressed.

(7 marks)

正确答案：
(b) There are a number of potential problems which the directors of HFG need to recognise. These are as follows:
(i) There needs to exist a sufficient incentive for SFO to share their information with HFG as the success of any
benchmarking programme is dependent upon obtaining accurate information about the comparator organisation. This is
not an easy task to accomplish, as many organisations are reluctant to reveal confidential information to competitors.
The directors of HFG must be able to convince the directors of SFO that entering into a benchmarking arrangement is a
potential ‘win-win situation’.
(ii) The value of the exercise must be sufficient to justify the cost involved. Also, it is inevitable that behavioural issues will
need to be addressed in any benchmarking programme. Management should give priority to the need to communicate
the reasons for undertaking a programme of benchmarking in order to gain the full co-operation of its personnel whilst
reducing the potential level of resistance to change.
(iii) Management need to handle the ethical implications relating to the introduction of benchmarking in a sensitive manner
and should endeavour, insofar as possible, to provide reassurance to employees that their status, remuneration and
working conditions will not suffer as a consequence of the introduction of any benchmarking initiatives.

2 Your audit client, Prescott Co, is a national hotel group with substantial cash resources. Its accounting functions are

well managed and the group accounting policies are rigorously applied. The company’s financial year end is

31 December.

Prescott has been seeking to acquire a construction company for some time in order to bring in-house the building

and refurbishment of hotels and related leisure facilities (e.g. swimming pools, squash courts and restaurants).

Prescott’s management has recently identified Robson Construction Co as a potential target and has urgently requested

that you undertake a limited due diligence review lasting two days next week.

Further to their preliminary talks with Robson’s management, Prescott has provided you with the following brief on

Robson Construction Co:

The chief executive, managing director and finance director are all family members and major shareholders. The

company name has an established reputation for quality constructions.

Due to a recession in the building trade the company has been operating at its overdraft limit for the last 18

months and has been close to breaching debt covenants on several occasions.

Robson’s accounting policies are generally less prudent than those of Prescott (e.g. assets are depreciated over

longer estimated useful lives).

Contract revenue is recognised on the percentage of completion method, measured by reference to costs incurred

to date. Provisions are made for loss-making contracts.

The company’s management team includes a qualified and experienced quantity surveyor. His main

responsibilities include:

(1) supervising quarterly physical counts at major construction sites;

(2) comparing costs to date against quarterly rolling budgets; and

(3) determining profits and losses by contract at each financial year end.

Although much of the labour is provided under subcontracts all construction work is supervised by full-time site

managers.

In August 2005, Robson received a claim that a site on which it built a housing development in 2002 was not

properly drained and is now subsiding. Residents are demanding rectification and claiming damages. Robson

has referred the matter to its lawyers and denied all liability, as the site preparation was subcontracted to Sarwar

Services Co. No provisions have been made in respect of the claims, nor has any disclosure been made.

The auditor’s report on Robson’s financial statements for the year to 30 June 2005 was signed, without

modification, in March 2006.

Required:

(a) Identify and explain the specific matters to be clarified in the terms of engagement for this due diligence

review of Robson Construction Co. (6 marks)

正确答案：
2 PRESCOTT CO
(a) Terms of engagement – matters to be clarified
Tutorial note: This one-off assignment requires a separate letter of engagement. Note that, at this level, a standard list of
contents will earn few, if any, marks. Any ‘ideas list’ must be tailored to generate answer points specific to the due diligence
review of this target company.
■ Objective of the review: for example, to find and report facts relevant to Prescott’s decision whether to acquire Robson.
The terms should confirm whether Prescott’s interest is in acquiring the company (i.e. the share capital) or its trading
assets (say), as this will affect the nature and scope of the review.
Tutorial note: This is implied as Prescott ‘has been seeking to acquire ... to bring building … in-house’.
■ Prescott’s management will be solely responsible for any decision made (e.g. any offer price made to purchase Robson).
■ The nature and scope of the review and any standards/guidelines in accordance with which it will be conducted. That
investigation will consist of enquiry (e.g. of the directors and the quantity surveyor) and analytical procedures (e.g. on
budgeted information and prior period financial statements).
Tutorial note: This is not going to be a review of financial statements. The prior year financial statements have only
recently been audited and financial statements for the year end 30 June 2006 will not be available in time for the
review.
■ The level of assurance will be ‘negative’. That is, that the material subject to review is free of material misstatement. It
should be stated that an audit is not being performed and that an audit opinion will not be expressed.
■ The timeframe. for conducting the investigation (two days next week) and the deadline for reporting the findings.
■ The records, documentation and other information to which access will be unrestricted. This will be the subject of
agreement between Prescott and Robson.
■ A responsibility/liability disclaimer that the engagement cannot be relied upon to disclose errors, illegal acts or other
irregularities (e.g. fraudulent financial reporting or misappropriations of Robson’s assets).
Tutorial note: Third party reliance on the report seems unlikely as Prescott has ‘substantial cash resources’ and may not
need to obtain loan finance.

The following information is relevant for questions 9 and 10

A company’s draft financial statements for 2005 showed a profit of $630,000. However, the trial balance did not agree,

and a suspense account appeared in the company’s draft balance sheet.

Subsequent checking revealed the following errors:

(1) The cost of an item of plant $48,000 had been entered in the cash book and in the plant account as $4,800.

Depreciation at the rate of 10% per year ($480) had been charged.

(2) Bank charges of $440 appeared in the bank statement in December 2005 but had not been entered in the

company’s records.

(3) One of the directors of the company paid $800 due to a supplier in the company’s payables ledger by a personal

cheque. The bookkeeper recorded a debit in the supplier’s ledger account but did not complete the double entry

for the transaction. (The company does not maintain a payables ledger control account).

(4) The payments side of the cash book had been understated by $10,000.

9 Which of the above items would require an entry to the suspense account in correcting them?

A All four items

B 3 and 4 only

C 2 and 3 only

D 1, 2 and 4 only

正确答案：B
