We designed this programme to meet the needs of prospective chartered accountants who might be starting off their journey at a BCTA level, working through their CTA and/or ITC assessments or at the edge of completing their professional journey prior to completing the APC assessment. Accordingly, it is suitable for candidates or professionals who are:

  • planning to register or currently registered for a BCTA as preparation for the CTA studies;
  • planning to register or currently registered for a CTA programme with a public or private higher learning institute;
  • planning to sit for the ITC assessment and are seeking to bridge a significant gap in their technical knowledge and professional skills; and
  • planning to sit for the APC assessment and need to refresh and enhance their technical knowledge and professional skills. This includes CIMA professionals looking to take advantage of the CIMA Pathway Agreement and therefore require significant work to familiarise themselves with technical knowledge covered in the CA academic qualification.

Qualified chartered accountants as well as finance professionals can also benefit from the offering as part of their lifelong learning and continuous development initiatives. The content is packed with real life examples and topical themes that are certain to benefit them in the daily work environment.

We are proud to introduce the first on-demand CTA support programme to meet our candidates’ needs for flexibility. The on-demand feature allows you to join our programme at your preferred point during the year, take the modules that you immediately need assistance for, take modules that you can handle at a particular time in your career and personal environment (including your budget constraints) and complete the modules or programme at your own pace. Our full programme provide a no-cost account suspension to attend to major work or personal issue in your life or that of a loved one.

The programme is forward thinking in that it is founded on the CA2025 framework and looks to develop professional skills, acumen, attributes and values that will define a chartered accountant of the future.

The programme is supported by our highly dedicated, experienced, talented and passionate team of professionals, advisors as well as caretakers. Every member of our team is empathetic and invested in your development. Your experience with Endunamoo will truly be a personalised one as you will have a team that is with you every step of the way.

The on-demand programme is delivered in an innovative and flexible manner to address the growing demands for high quality content and unpredictable working arrangements. The elements of the CTA Support Course are as follows:

(1) A library of pre-recorded content: The CTA content is delivered via pre-recorded sessions where the lecturers focus on teaching the fundamental concepts and principles related to the various modules. In addition, the pre-recorded sessions include the discussion of assessments whereby the lecturing team extensively works through previous exams, highlights effective reading and analytical skills, assists in linking knowledge with application and assists in developing effective examination techniques. The pre-recorded sessions are recorded by an experienced team, extensively reviewed to ensure high quality by our senior team and are all readily available and organised in a logical fashion for effective planning.

From a technical perspective, the videos are split into four competence areas, namely:

  • ACC: The core focus in this module is the financial reporting aspects, specifically using the International Financial Reporting Standards, for both consolidated and separate financial statements. Please click here to view the topics in this module.
  • AUD: The core focus in this module is the auditing, assurance and governance, specifically using the International Auditing Handbooks, statutory acts such as Companies Act and code of good governance such as King IV and Code of Professional Conduct.

  • Integrated session: This three to five-hour session is focused on integrating the knowledge covered in the pre-recorded sessions for the respective module and/or other modules. It aims to develop integrated thinking skills which is critical for success in integrated assessments such as ITC and APC.
  • Tutorial session: There is three hour tutorial session, with the first one based on a tutorial question covering either the work for the current phase and the second one covering a previous ITC assessment. You are provided with the tutorial question(s) in advance for them to diligently attempt ahead of the live session. Although the tutorials are not be marked, you are encouraged to attempt and submit the questions ahead of the session to ensure optimal benefit from the live session.

Quizzes: CTA On-Demand includes quizzes to help you track your progress throughout each term as well as help you better manage the workload and your study schedule.

Additional effort may include watching the videos again, redoing the lecture example exercises, re-attempting the quizzes, consultations via WhatsApp / MyUniverse and consultations via Teams.

(4) Material: The videos and the quizzes are accompanied by high quality, detailed and focused lecture notes. The lecture notes comprise lecture examples, along with the suggested solutions, that are aimed illustrating the application of the principles in a simple and understandable manner. The lecture material is only provided on a soft-copy basis. However, if you required a printed version, this can be arranged at a nominal fee (see tuition fee for further details).

(5) Question Bank: Each phase is accompanied by two to three questions per module to afford you the opportunity to assess your technical knowledge as you progress through the phases. The solution for one of the questions will be withheld until is delivered and discussed as part of the live sessions. The question bank is only provided on a soft-copy basis. However, if you required a printed version, this can be arranged at a nominal fee (see tuition fee for further details).

The programme is centred around you and your development. As majority of the programme is delivered on an online only basis, the CTA On-Demand includes extensive candidate support structures to ensure that you are well equipped from an academic and non-academic perspectives. The non-academic support structures are developed on the principles of providing you with a highly personalised experience with our team, either professional or support team:

  • Online journey: Given that the majority of your learning and developments happens online and on an individual basis, we have spent an incredible amount of time and effort into providing guidance at every step of the way so that your online journey is intuitive and simple. This is achieved by using the traditional naming protocol, providing on-screen guidance, short guidance videos, written guidance and quick access to a query form.
  • Caretaking engagements: We have a team of caretakers who have your best interest at heart. The caretakers are available during your time with us and their primary role is to ensure that all your needs are well understood and well taken care of. Their role extends beyond providing administration support, but they are ‘a friend, a listening ear and your motivational support’ throughout your journey with us. Our approach to caretaking affirms our commitment to offer you a learning experience with a personal touch.
