Developing a competence-based approach -Towards Competent Professional Accountants IEP 2, IFAC Education Committee
Identify the performance outcomes expected at work;
Specify the capabilities (knowledge, skills, professional values and attitudes) required to demonstrate competence;
Specify IT skills;
Identify a small number of common key functional areas (financial reporting, auditing, management accounting, taxation and soon);
Consider the need for, and define, specialist roles as appropriate, for example, treasury management;
Break these roles down into as many units and elements as may be required for assessment purposes and add a manageable number of performance criteria and range indicators to each element, bearing in mind the needs of workplace appraisal systems;
Specify desirable related knowledge areas, for example, law, economics and so on;
Decide on an appropriate assessment strategy. If examinations are used, they will probably require a more detailed curriculumframework useful for examiners and candidates. If workplace assessment is favored, consideration should be given to using simulations.
