ACCA認證處的主任卡瑟琳•愛德華稱，新型ACCA機考將于今年九月重磅登場。

愛德華此前在專訪里透露，ACCA將在四月下旬發(fā)放樣卷，探索新型考試模式。

機考的實施工作已經(jīng)籌劃了三年，以后學(xué)生將使用電子數(shù)據(jù)表，創(chuàng)建表格及文字處理來答題。除了發(fā)放樣卷，ACCA考試委員會也計劃于今年四月下旬給考生提供空白電子表格和文字處理表格，以便學(xué)生練習(xí)。

ACCA尋找專門的供應(yīng)商，為其實現(xiàn)全球機考提供中央網(wǎng)絡(luò)。該供應(yīng)商必須在組織全球機考方面經(jīng)驗豐富并能確?？忌B續(xù)無間斷的完成專業(yè)考試。

愛德華強調(diào)今后ACCA考試將同時采取筆試和機考兩種考試方式。只有學(xué)生和導(dǎo)師都做好準備的情況下才會實行機考，并且以國家為單位實施，部分城市將配備專門的考場作為試點來舉辦小規(guī)模考試。英國和愛爾蘭將是第一批試點國家。

愛德華補充到，在新型的機考體制下，考試的最低通過分數(shù)還是50%。談到機考考試的難度時，愛德華稱機考與筆試試題不會完全相同，但考試委員會將保證兩者難度大體相當。鑒于全球機考存在的時差問題，考試委員會還會采取行動確?？季淼谋Ｃ苄浴CCA也會在日后公布更多的機考考試細節(jié)。目前大量的考試研究正在進行，ACCA的監(jiān)管者對研究結(jié)果也大體滿意。

ACCA正與蘇格蘭學(xué)歷管理委員會，高等教育質(zhì)量保障局，財務(wù)報告委員會等其他相關(guān)機構(gòu)一起努力，共同推進機考實施。

ACCA（特許公認會計師公會）委托Pearson VUE提供ACCA基礎(chǔ)階段五門考試（F5-F9）的機考。

從2016年底起，ACCA F5-F9科目將開始推行機考，屆時學(xué)員可以自主選擇參加筆考或機考。ACCA與培訓(xùn)機構(gòu)和雇主均達成共識，所有有關(guān)ACCA資格考試的變革都會分階段進行，確保培訓(xùn)機構(gòu)和雇主以及學(xué)員有足夠的時間適應(yīng)變化。

作為世界領(lǐng)先的電子化考試服務(wù)提供商，Pearson VUE是ACCA理想的合作伙伴，它將為ACCA提供高安全、高質(zhì)量的電子化考試服務(wù)。根據(jù)協(xié)議，ACCA可以根據(jù)自身需求對機考進行調(diào)整，以確保其保持一貫的嚴謹周密的全球考試安排。F5-F9的考試將繼續(xù)使用大題目考查考生靈活運用知識的能力，這些問答題仍由人工閱卷。

ACCA行政總裁白容（Helen Brand OBE）表示：“ACCA于1998年率先在基礎(chǔ)階段知識課程考試中采用機考模式。此次與Pearson VUE簽約，標志著ACCA進入了下一個轉(zhuǎn)型階段， 以確保ACCA資格始終與當今商業(yè)環(huán)境保持同步。”

Pearson VUE首席執(zhí)行官Bob Whelan表示：“這一全新的合作模式將幫助ACCA實現(xiàn)全球數(shù)字化的目標，同時使ACCA資格考核更加貼近當今財會專業(yè)人士的真實工作內(nèi)容。”

作為F5-F9科目新增考核內(nèi)容的一部分，機考使ACCA能夠以更貼近實際工作環(huán)境和流程的方式，測試考生的知識和技能。ACCA有一套非常成熟的考試設(shè)計方式，來考量考生的知識和對知識的運用能力。這種考試設(shè)計方式和對解決問題和運用知識能力的重視，使ACCA成為全球雇主對應(yīng)聘者能力要求的首選資格。

ACCA之所以選擇Pearson VUE提供機考，是因為Pearson VUE提供從考試設(shè)計工具、注冊、時間安排平臺、考試中心管理工具和成績通知系統(tǒng)的一整套解決方案。Pearson VUE 提供的Exam Developer軟件，可以幫助ACCA新增考試內(nèi)容，比如編寫考查更高級技能、并與財會行業(yè)緊密相關(guān)的高階題目。

Pearson VUE還提供了考試中心管理應(yīng)用程序， ACCA可以通過自己的考試中心網(wǎng)絡(luò)來管理考試，其中包括Pearson VUE的Athena考試驅(qū)動程序，可以在正式考試前對考卷進行完全加密，增強試題的保密性。

F5-F9考試將在三月、六月、九月和十二月四個固定考季舉行。ACCA還向?qū)W員提供模擬測試，并附以詳細的書面反饋，幫助學(xué)員充分準備考試.
