Professional 2

Study Support Resources for students sitting the Professional 2 examinations.

CPA Ireland students at P2 Stage tailor the qualification to their chosen career path. In addition to two mandatory subjects, Advanced Corporate Reporting and Strategy & Leadership, they choose two from four elective subjects. Students wishing to pursue a career in industry, in most instances, will elect for the Strategic Performance Management and Strategic Corporate Finance subjects in addition to the two mandatory subjects. 

N.B. All students at P2 must sit and pass the two mandatory subjects plus two of the elective subjects. Students not intending to qualify for a practising certificate may choose to sit and pass any two of the four electives subjects. All students intending to subsequently qualify and apply for a practising certificate must sit and pass the Taxation subject and one of the other three electives subjects. All students wishing to qualify and apply for a Practising Certificate with Audit Qualification must sit and pass both the Auditing and Taxation elective subjects. There are other requirements that must be satisfied in order to obtain a practising certificate, details of which are available on the CPA Ireland website www.cpaireland.ie.
