Some subjects covered in these exams are not suitable and are almost totally irrelevant to Sri Lankan environment.
This need not be the case anymore. At the Institute of Certified Public Accountants (ICPA) the curriculum is developed by local experts taking into account national and international requirements to meet the challenges of a complex, modern, national and international business environment and will equip members with the tools to rise to the top in any financially based career.
The ICPA programme is based on a complete reorientation of accounting education.
The structure, content, and scope of accounting educational programmes of the Institute are flexible and have incorporated new accounting concepts and applications of accounting in practice, and the emergence of new accounting methods and technologies.
It recognizes the need to develop the entering accountant's ability to think, communicate, solve problems, be comfortable with technology and numbers, possess people skills (interacting with clients and working as a team) and understand the nature and role of ethics.
