The ICPAS Professional Examination (PE) consists of 5 modules where the module examinations are offered half yearly with papers that may be attempted in any sequence. Candidates can enroll for a maximum of 3 modules per term and are expected to complete all the 5 PE modules and any additional qualifying subjects within 5 years from the date of confirmation of their candidature.

As a self study programme, candidates may choose to study the module(s) at their own pace or attend the preparatory course(optional). Candidates working full-time are strongly advised to plan their schedules to allow for sufficient preparation for coursework and examinations.

Upon approval of admission to the ICPAS PE, each candidate (except for candidates who are required to fulfill the Financial Accounting Subjects Requirement*) would be given an individual candidate account to access to the Candidate Dashboard. User ID and password would be sent to these candidates in the email confirmation of their application status.

The candidate account allows each individual to update their personal particulars; perform various transactions online; view their results; and access to the latest study materials.

Candidates are required to update their particulars on every occasion when there are changes. This will ensure that candidates receive important information and announcement on time. It is important for candidates to maintain an active email account to allow the Institute to remain contact with those who are required to travel overseas frequently.

* These candidates will only be informed of their candidate account details after completion of the FA subject.
