Hallo, If someone sat for the December 2021 Advanced examinations and did not pass any paper, does it mean that he or she will now do the speacializing option or how will it be?
Login to your kasneb portal, they must have exempted you from the already passed papers. You will only do the undone papers as per the new syllabus. If you failed everything in sec 5 and 6, then you have to face the new syllabus
does it mean the entry requirements for CPA no longer consider (C+ in english and mathsa) one can do CPA with a C+ men grade
You only need a c+ Mean grade

CPA Advanced Level
(1) Strategy and Risk Management
(2) Advanced Financial Reporting
(3) Advanced Financial Management Specialization
(One paper)
Advanced taxation
Advanced Auditing and Assurance
Advanced Management Accounting
Advanced Public Financial Management
Practical Paper on Business and Data Analytics
Regards
Jane

Please be guided

July 2021
Hey Joey,
I am interested in beginning CPA classes. please advise. Thank you
Kasneb so far has not responded to any of these queries and that is unprofessional. Communication is very vital. Bure kabisa
Chill, am responding to all of you.
How about CCP?
HOw long does the practical paper take?
What about diploma level? i am yet to finish level three with two units pending how can i go about that coz of the syllabus change please advice
Good review made by KASNEB,i hope that the amendments are made for a good reason in protecting the accounting profession in our country.The grace of God is sufficient to all accounting students.
What if a had a refer in section 3. Will I continue to do the refer or I risit all the papers?
Resit, but talk to our team at Kasneb
Hello admin..so I di my section 3 and got one refer,can I combine it with section 4 kindly ..such that I’ll do exams for the combined
Yes. you can do that
I can see Accounting Degree holders to be exempted and will only do 9 papers, what about Diploma holders like Diploma in ACCOUNTANCY??
Degree holders will do 9 papers as stated but its 8 if you choose one of the the electives
HOPE APRIL EXAMS WILL USE THE INITIAL CHANNEL?
May exam will be the last of the old syllabus
I would suggest that new syllabus be introduced to beginners while the continuing students be allowed to clear with the old syllabus. In addition, Kasneb should have some mercy on the old students who are on the verge of losing hope with CPA due to many attempts on single papers yet results come as a fail. personally have been stuck on sec 6 with just one paper pending and its demoralizing because i usually kiss the ground every time i make an attempt.
Pole sana kaka. With this new syllabus utapita sana
i did cpa part1 in 1998 and i would like to proceed on with other level will i be accepted.m
This is very unfortunate Joseph, you need to tighten your belt.im an ACCA affiliate and I also went through the same experience, I got stuck in one of the papers until I thought the examiner had a personal issue with me. Thinking about the time, financial resources, emotional and psychological investment so far expended can be very traumatizing. Please find a better way or use a new tactic, approach the paper from a different angle, befriend the unit and look for a professional tutor. You will not pass but also excel.
what is wrong that you have discovered now in the old syllabus?
What will happen to the progressing students where some of the units have been taken to lower levels they had covered previously and others introduced like ICT? Will they have to go back and cover them?
Will kasneb continue with the old syllabus until July or is it along holiday until July
what shall happen to those who are remaining with only sec 6
I happen to have done upto section 5,What will happen if i want to continue and clear my sec 6
I would like to say that in as much as CPA is a good professional course, the professional aspect of the course is being diluted by the fact that any person can undertake CPA studies any, as usual, any profession which is open to anybody loses taste and meaning.
My opinion on the CPA course has always been that being that it is a professional course, the entry requirement should be a relevant University degree and that makes it possible for CPA students to take only two years to cover the course. This approach has made professions like Law, Education, and Medicine stand out in the job market. Those who study CPA from the certificate level should be allowed but not to practice as professional accountants. Professional practice should require a University degree puls CPA certification.
On the new syllabus, it looks better and organized. This is so because it brings some aspects of specialization. However, there are some units that have been reorganized at both foundation and intermediate levels.KASNEB should allow those who had begun taking exams in the old syllabus to proceed with the same and new candidates to begin studying the new syllabus.
On the matter of exemptions, it should be based on each paper. Both accounting and finance graduates should be considered for exemptions as the two disciplines are related to one another.
Do you know that those creme del creme students from national and provincial schools who scored clean A in their kcse find it hard to Match a student from a harambee school given the same conditions?? I am a kasneb tutor and most degree students struggle to pass a basic Accounting question which a kasneb certificate student breeze through. For further avoidance of doubt , I am a fully qualified accountant and a holder of the best degree you can attain in our universities which makes me an authority in this field
This remark-is-a-PhD.
Will ATD be exempted from CPA Foundation level when the new syllabus come into effect.
Hello, being a graduate in BBA- FINANCE OPTION With IT at Maseno University, I think I deserve to be exempted from all the six foundation level units. I had been issued with an exemption letter without these two units included (Quantitative Analysis & ICT) of which I think I had thoroughly covered during my degree coursework. Please, advise on the way forward. Regards, Winfred.
DEGREE IN MOST UNIVERSITIES ARE SHALLOW ,THOSE WHO SHOULD BE CONSIDERED MOST ARE THOSE WHO DID KNEC ACCOUNTANCY
My friend Diploma in Accountancy by KNEC is even more shallow
I did my CPA 5 and 6 in 2013 and refered 1paper in CPA 5 and 1 in CPA 6 this was heart breaking, just when I wanted to resit for 2 Papers you Changed Syllabus and I was asked to resit all the six papers before even I complete again you have changed syllabus don’t you think you are frastrating those who have been in the system.
very true it looks like I have covered everything past KASNEB
We welcome this,. Let the Accountancy training be harmonized ,& see Academic ACCOUNTANCY programmes (BCOM/BBM/BBA-ACCOUNTING OPTIONS) take a shorter time to get to CPAK,..& at the same time Kasneb work close with kenyan Universities offering Business courses to Harmonize the Degree programme with the professional paper to. Avoid duplication of papers at the various levels .(just the way ACCA does with Oxford Brooke’s University.Why cove FM FM IN CPA,Bcom & MBA?…Just to mention afew,.when the content is the same?
What will happen to the ones who had two retakes for section 6? Passed taxation referred AFR and A auditing
What will happen to those who shall have done section three and were to join section iv come next year.
New syllabus begins in Dec 2021 examinations
If I graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce degree finance speciality,what am I being exempted from in new KASNEB 2021 syllabus??
What about those who did finance degree
what about atd graduated
Also asking about the ATD graduate where do i go?
