AAAACCA AAA tuition in Singapore and online. Audit planning, ethics, group audits, completion and reporting, taught through realistic audit scenarios.
Overview
Advanced Audit and Assurance (AAA) is a Strategic Professional Options paper that puts you in the role of an audit manager. It covers regulation and professional ethics, practice management and quality control, planning and conducting audits of complex clients, including groups, completion and review, audit reporting, and other assurance and non-audit services.
AAA is a 3 hour 15 minute computer-based exam worth 100 marks, and every question is compulsory.
Professional skills marks are built into the questions and reward communication, analysis and evaluation, scepticism and commercial acumen. The pass mark is 50%.
ACCA is moving to a new qualification structure. June 2027 is the final sitting of the current Strategic Professional exams, including AAA, and the first Expertise and Strategic Professional exams are sat in September 2027. If you plan to sit AAA in June 2027 or later, ask us how the change affects your route.
Classes are led by Paul William, founder of TutorPOD, who holds ACCA, CIMA and CA Singapore qualifications. AAA lessons are built around realistic audit scenarios, so you practise spotting the issue, judging its significance and writing it up the way the examiner expects. You get structured notes, live practice in class and timed mocks with personalised feedback.
Classes run live online and in person in Singapore, in small groups or 1-to-1.
AAA builds on Audit and Assurance (AA) and uses a lot of Strategic Business Reporting (SBR) knowledge. It is one of four Options papers, and you choose two.
