HKICPA QP Module 1 Accounting

No. The Institute's QP navigation lists Accounting as one module among a wider structure that also includes pre-entry education, professional accountancy education, a Revised Practical Experience Framework, the Capstone and practical experience requirements. Treat Module 1 as one component of the programme, not the qualification itself.

This cannot be confirmed from the Institute's public pages. The QP section lists a Timetable page but does not display its contents publicly, so question counts, duration and sitting dates must be checked on the QP Timetable page and the QP FAQ after you register or log in as a student.

Not stated on the Institute's public pages. The QP Fee schedule and Timetable pages are listed but their contents are not displayed in the public navigation. Confirm the pass mark, any component weighting and the results-release arrangements through the QP FAQ or by contacting the Institute's QP enquiry channel directly.

Fees and retake rules are not published in the material available here. The Institute maintains a QP Fee schedule page; that page, together with the Application and registration page, is where module fees, registration fees and any re-sit charges are set out. Verify before budgeting, since fee schedules are revised periodically.

The Institute publishes Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards in Volume II of the Members' Handbook, described as "Financial Reporting Standards". That is the reporting framework the Hong Kong profession works within, so build your technical study around HKFRS and the Institute's own standard-setting updates, including new and major standards announcements.

Look at the Certificate in Accounting and Business (CAB). The Institute presents CAB with its own pages covering why to choose it, its structure, how to start and how to apply, and describes it as an entry route under "Become a Hong Kong CPA". It sits alongside, not inside, the QP.

The QP navigation includes a QP Learning Centre, QP Student support and benefits, QP Examination Support, and Publications for sales (New QP). There are also QP workshop facilitator and marker roles, which indicates workshop-based learning. Start with the Learning Centre and Examination Support pages rather than third-party summaries.

The Institute has announced a collaboration with the HKEAA to introduce computer-based examinations for the Qualification Programme. The announcement appears in the Institute's news list, but the implementation timetable is not stated in the public text, so confirm the mode for your intended sitting on the QP Timetable page.

Typically by studying standards in isolation rather than applying them. Use the Institute's examination support material and past-style practice to rehearse applying HKFRS to transactions and to presenting computations clearly. Also check the QP FAQ for guidance on permitted materials and exam conduct before your sitting.

Go to the QP section of the Institute's website: About the QP, Pre-entry education, Professional accountancy education, Revised Practical Experience Framework, Application and registration, Timetable, Fee schedule, Programme accreditation, Position Paper, QP graduate, Complaints, FAQ and Enquiries. Those pages, not this independent guide, are authoritative.
