NOTICE OF REVIEW OF CITN SYLLABUS IN LINE WITH THE FINANCE ACT AND OTHER AMENDMENTS

Dear esteemed student,

This is to inform our esteemed students that in view of the pronouncement of new laws by the government, the Institute has decided to update the recently reviewed syllabus to accommodate the changes those laws (the Finance Act, Companies & Allied Matters Acts and Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act) have introduced.

In addition, the Institute is in the process of implementing the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that it has with the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) on the need by ACCA to develop a local variant for its curriculum in Law and Taxation which has necessitated that the CITN collaborates with ACCA as it will also make it possible for exemptions to be granted to our graduates in the affected ACCA subjects.

This arrangement has resulted to a review of the previous Syllabus so as to meet the ACCA evaluation criteria in some subjects.

In view of the above, the syllabus of the Institute has been reviewed in the following subjects and its implementation will commence with April 2021 examination diet. The affected subjects are:

1) Foundation level:
- Business Law

2) PTE 1 Level:
- Income Taxation
- Governance, Risk & Ethics
- Indirect Taxation

3) PTE 2 Level:
- International Taxation
- Income Taxation for Specialized Business

Though the changes that affect the above-mentioned syllabus are not significant, however they will lead to improvement of the standard of the examination.
