8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Financial Accounting

  • Build a one-page map of the accounting cycle from journal entry to closing trial balance, writing the debit/credit rule for each account class from memory.

  • Solve 25 adjusting-entry problems covering accruals, deferrals, depreciation, and inventory cut-off, recording your error type for each miss.

  • Prepare a full set of financial statements from a given trial balance, including a classified balance sheet and a statement of changes in equity.

  • Reconcile a bank statement and a supplier ledger, documenting each reconciling item with its correcting entry.

Your checkpoint

A 20-question self-made quiz on adjusting entries and closing procedures, scored at 80% or higher, with a written error log of every missed item.

Week 2

Auditing and Assurance

  • Draft the audit risk model in your own words and apply it to three short scenarios, identifying inherent, control, and detection risk for each.

  • Design an audit program for the revenue and receivables cycle, listing at least eight procedures with the assertion each addresses.

  • Classify ten given audit procedures as tests of controls or substantive procedures and justify each classification in one sentence.

  • Write the three tiers of audit evidence (inspection, observation, confirmation, recalculation, analytical) and match them to assertions.

Your checkpoint

A complete audit program for one cycle (revenue or purchases) with procedures mapped to assertions, reviewed against a checklist of at least six assertions.

Week 3

Egyptian Accounting Standards and IFRS

  • Compare the Egyptian Accounting Standards framework with IFRS on recognition, measurement, and disclosure for at least six standards, noting where Egyptian practice adds requirements.

  • Apply the revenue recognition five-step model to three contract scenarios, including variable consideration and a contract with multiple performance obligations.

  • Compute lease liabilities and right-of-use assets for two scenarios under the current lease standard, showing the discount rate and payment schedule.

  • Record the impairment of a cash-generating unit, allocating a loss across goodwill and other assets in the required order.

Your checkpoint

A comparison table of at least six Egyptian standards against their IFRS counterparts, with one worked numerical example per standard.

Week 4

Egyptian Auditing Standards and ISA & Professional Ethics and Independence

  • Map the Egyptian Auditing Standards to ISA at the standard level, flagging any Egyptian additions on documentation, reporting, or auditor communication.

  • Draft an auditor's report for a modified opinion (qualified and adverse), correctly placing the basis-for-opinion paragraph and the key audit matters section.

  • Apply the independence rules to eight short scenarios, deciding for each whether independence is impaired and citing the threat category (self-interest, self-review, advocacy, familiarity, intimidation).

  • Write the safeguards an audit firm must apply when a former partner joins a client's board.

Your checkpoint

A one-page independence decision flowchart plus eight solved scenarios, each with a clear impaired/not-impaired conclusion and the threat type.

Week 5

Taxation (Income, VAT, Salary, Stamp)

  • Compute corporate income tax for a small company from a trial balance, adjusting for non-deductible expenses, exempt income, and depreciation differences.

  • Calculate VAT on a mixed set of sales and purchases, separating input tax that is deductible from input tax that must be capitalized.

  • Prepare a monthly payroll tax and social insurance calculation for five employees with varying salary components and exemptions.

  • Identify the stamp duty treatment for a set of contract types and compute the duty on two of them.

Your checkpoint

A four-part tax workbook (income tax, VAT, payroll, stamp) with at least 15 computed figures and a short note on the legal basis for each adjustment.

Week 6

Commercial and Company Law & Managerial and Cost Accounting

  • Summarize the company forms available under Egyptian commercial law and the capital, governance, and liability rules that distinguish them.

  • Trace the process for convening a general assembly, from notice to resolution, and note the quorum and majority thresholds.

  • Compute cost of goods manufactured and cost of goods sold from a schedule of raw materials, work in process, and finished goods, then prepare an income statement under absorption costing.

  • Reconcile absorption and variable costing operating income for one period and explain the difference in a short paragraph.

  • Prepare a contribution-margin income statement and compute break-even point and margin of safety for two products.

A two-page summary of Egyptian company law requirements for shareholder meetings and capital changes, plus one solved cost accounting case with a full reconciliation.

Week 7

Information Technology and Data in Accounting & Economics and Financial Management

  • Explain how an accounting information system enforces segregation of duties, and design a control matrix for the revenue cycle with at least six controls.

  • Describe the risks of spreadsheets used in financial reporting and list the controls that mitigate them, including version control and access restriction.

  • Apply time value of money to two investment appraisal problems, computing net present value and internal rate of return and interpreting each result.

  • Compute and interpret four financial ratios (liquidity, leverage, profitability, efficiency) for a given set of statements and write a two-sentence conclusion on the company's position.

Your checkpoint

A control matrix for one business cycle (at least six controls mapped to risks) plus a financial analysis note with four ratios and a written conclusion.

Week 8

Financial Accounting & Auditing and Assurance & Taxation (Income, VAT, Salary, Stamp)

  • Take two full-length timed mock exams under exam conditions and record your score by domain to identify the weakest area.

  • Re-solve every question missed in the mock exams, writing the correct reasoning rather than the answer alone.

  • Drill a rapid-recall sheet of tax rates, thresholds, and reporting deadlines until you can reproduce it from memory in ten minutes.

  • Review your error logs from weeks 1 through 7 and rewrite any concept you still cannot explain in one sentence.
