Can I use an older FA book?
No syllabus changes for 2026-27, and BPP's September 2025 edition remains its current stock. FA is an on-demand computer-based exam. Double-entry hasn't changed in five hundred years - an older edition is a safe buy.
Always double-check the edition against your exam sitting before buying. When in doubt, ACCA's official syllabus documents are free and definitive.
