Can I use an older FR book?
No syllabus changes for 2026-27, but FR tracks IFRS - and IFRS 18 on presentation and disclosure became examinable in September 2025, so editions printed before 2025 miss it. A 2025-26 text is fine; anything older needs patching with ACCA's technical articles. Use a current exam kit either way.
Always double-check the edition against your exam sitting before buying. When in doubt, ACCA's official syllabus documents are free and definitive.
