3.3.1 Modules

3.3.1.1 Objective

The modules aim to enhance students' capacity to apply knowledge and skills
acquired at pre-education entry to professional situations, and to develop a
strong sense of professionalism and ethics. The focus is on integration
across subject areas in the context of professional applications.

3.3.1.2 Module Structure

There are four modules under the QP, which can be taken in any order.
However, a maximum of two modules can be taken in each session. The
four modules are, namely:

(a) Module A – Financial Reporting;
(b) Module B – Corporate Financing ;
(c) Module C – Business Assurance ; and
(d) Module D – Taxation.

Requirements for each module:

(a) self-study for about 14 weeks using study materials provided by the
Institute;
(b) attend at and participate in two full-day workshops led by two workshop
facilitators;
(c) complete the workshops satisfactorily, via active participation, as a
prerequisite to sit the module examination; and
(d) pass a three-hour open-book examination.

The design of the module workshops mirrors the structure of the modules and
aims to develop the underlying learning objectives. Workshops are not
standardized across all four modules as each module workshop has its own
learning focus and specific group activities.

Each module comprises two full-day workshops before the module
examination. The aggregate contact hours for the two workshops are 14.
Each workshop lasts for eight hours with a one-hour meal break. Workshops
are usually conducted during Saturdays and Sundays.

Each workshop is led by two workshop facilitators running a class size of
around 24 students. Student's technical and generic competences are
developed by involving them in group activities such as ethical dilemma
solving, negotiation, presentation, and case study analysis.
