Risk and technology

Our new TPS Risk & Technology course will keep CA Students’ skills relevant and ensure that they are aware of the ever-changing needs of accountancy.

What is TPS Risk & Technology?

TPS Risk & Technology (R&T) has been developed to ensure that the skills of CA Students remain relevant and to keep them up to date with and aware of the ever-changing needs of accountancy.  R&T will teach vital new skills such as preparing, discussing and analysing large datasets, and considering risk management.

It will do so in addition to these key themes:

  • Business risks and risk monitoring
  • Risk-management strategy
  • Technology risk
  • Data analysis and visualisation
  • Automation
  • New and disruptive technologies
  • IT strategy
  • Computational thinking

R & T syllabus

K - Knowledge | C - Comprehension | A - Application | An - Analysis | S - Synthesis | E - Evaluation

What makes R&T different to the existing TPS subjects?

Risk & Technology differs from the existing TPS subjects in a number of ways:

  • Taught via flexible bitesize learning
  • Unique totally online approach
  • Co-developed with CA ANZ to share expertise
  • Students will be equipped with an online Candidate Study Guide (CSG) which will be supplemented by e-learns, case studies, quizzes and video resources
  • Using the study resources provided above, Risk & Technology learning will be brought to life by use of real-world examples

How is Risk & Technology assessed?

There is no final examination for Risk & Technology. This subject will be assessed through three continual assessments with incrementally rising stakes throughout (see diagram below). Assessments are representative of real-life situations and students will be required to respond to specific business scenarios.

Some key points to note about each assessment are as follows:

Assessment 1

  • Students are issued a case study and resources in advance
  • Assessment 1 comprises a series of objective test questions (sat on demand)
  • Assessment 1 focuses on the risk elements of the R&T course

Assessment 2

  • Students are issued a case study and resources in advance
  • Students are required to produce a written report
  • Assessment 2 features risk with elements of technology
  • There will be fixed assessment release and submission dates for each R&T diet

Assessment 3

  • Students are issued a case study and resources in advance
  • Students are required to produce a written report (including appendices and data dashboard)
  • Assessment 3 includes all areas of the R&T course
  • There will be fixed assessment release and submission dates for each R&T diet

How to pass Risk & Technology?

  • Each assessment has a pass mark of 50%
  • The is a requirement to pass the high-stakes assessment (assessment 3) and the full course with >50%
