LWACCA LW tuition in Singapore and online for the Singapore law variant (LW-SGP). Contract, employment, company law and insolvency, with on-demand exam practice.
Overview
Corporate and Business Law (LW) is the Applied Skills paper that covers the law an accountant needs to know. The Singapore variant (LW-SGP) is based on Singapore law. It covers the legal system, the law of obligations including contract, employment law, the formation and constitution of companies, capital and financing, the management and administration of companies, insolvency, and fraudulent and criminal behaviour in business.
LW is a 2-hour on-demand computer-based exam worth 100 marks.
The pass mark is 50%.
ACCA is moving to a new qualification structure. LW becomes K3 Business Law at the new Knowledge level. ACCA's timeline shows the first sitting of the Singapore variant of the new exam in December 2027. If you plan to sit LW in 2027, ask us which exam you should aim for.
Classes are led by Paul William, founder of TutorPOD, who holds ACCA, CIMA and CA Singapore qualifications. LW lessons break each area of law into clear rules and short cases, then practise applying them to exam-style scenarios in class. You get structured notes, memory aids and timed mocks with personalised feedback.
Classes run live online and in person in Singapore, in small groups or 1-to-1.
LW sits alongside Taxation (TX), Financial Reporting (FR) and Audit and Assurance (AA) at Applied Skills level. Its company law and governance topics support Strategic Business Leader (SBL).
