Time to power up our list
Don’t get spooked, but there is exactly a month to get your nominations in for the PQ magazine Accountancy Education Power List 2027 – deadline for applications is Monday 30 November!
We want to celebrate the leaders, innovators and community builders, and all those working behind the scenes who make PQs lives better!
Being recognised will hopefully raise the profile of many people often overlooked.
We already have some great nominations in, but we want to ensure no accountancy stone is left unturned - is there a dedicated distance learning staff member that needs recognition, or a training manager who always champions their students? There might even be a fellow student who is always on call to help you. Any of these could make the list, and what a wonderful way of saying thank you!
PQ magazine editor, Graham Hambly, explains: “We want to showcase the great work being done in the profession, the people that really touch and impact the lives of PQs. We are on a mission to show that accountancy educators count, and it’s time some unsung heroes got the recognition they deserve.”
So, please get nominating. All we need is up to 500 words on why this person should be on our inaugural list. But remember the deadline for nominations is Monday 30 November 2026. Then our panel of independent judges will decide the 50 people who will make our inaugural list.
Head up your nominations ‘Power List’ and send them to [email protected].
We will formally announce the full list at a special event in London, in January 2027.
BIG THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS: ICAS & Hansel.

Join the Young Voices of AAT
Two AAT PQs, Keira Lake and Savannah Daley (pictured), have joined forces to launch a new community – ‘The Young Voices of AAT’.
If you are an AAT student or member under the age of 30 and want to find ‘your community’ now you have one!
And, they have already held a session for students, a deep dive into the level 3 FAPS exam.
Lake, an apprentice at Doncaster Town Council, said: “Our goal in to create a space where you can feel comfortable showing up, whether that’s by tuning into the sessions, watching the recordings, or by asking those questions you are unsure about to the wider community!”
Daley, an apprentice at High Clarity Accounting, explained: “This community has been created for AAT students and professionals aged 16 to 30 to connect, learn, share experiences, discuss challenges, and celebrate successes. Our age is not a limitation; it is our superpower. We are the future of the profession, and by supporting one another, we can create meaningful change one person at a time.”

CGMA Week: exploring what’s next
CIMA is hosting CGMA Week from 2 to 8 November, a global celebration of the CGMA designation together with a look at what’s next for finance and accounting.
This year's theme, CGMA: Ready for What's Next, reflects the important role Chartered Global Management Accountants play in helping organisations navigate change, embrace innovation and create long-term value in an increasingly dynamic world.
Throughout the week, CIMA members, CGMA students and volunteers from across the globe will share their experiences, achievements and aspirations, offering valuable insights into the skills, opportunities and career paths shaping the future of the profession. Whether you're a member, student or volunteer, CIMA is inviting you to join the conversation by reflecting on two simple questions. You can share your story using in whatever format feels right for you, whether that's a short video, a photo or a written post:
• What are you most proud of?
• What are you looking forward to?
Wherever you are in your CGMA journey, CGMA Week is an opportunity to connect with the CGMA community, celebrate professional achievements and explore what it means to be ready for what's next.

Five years’ time - what will PQs be doing?
So, what will a PQ be doing in five years’ time? In the latest PQ magazine Tristan Fulchiron explains that accountants will still need to know what is being done and why, even if the AI is doing the work!
He believes PQs must think about the leverage automation can give them. Not only does it level the technical skills playing field, it can also make you more proactive.

Bad debts and provisions
A write-off and a provision aren’t the same thing, and students need to teat them differently. In her latest back to basic series Sarah Wilson explains that confusing the two doesn’t just cost you marks in the exam, it changes which accounts move, which order the calculations happens, and what each figure represents.

Ethics at heart of redesigned ACCA qualification
Ethics remains ‘absolutely fundamental’ to the ACCA future qualification, says head of qualification, Jacky Bateman.
She stressed ethics and professional skills will continue to be integrated throughout the entire redesigned qualification – from the earliest stages of a student’s journey to the point where they are ready to lead!
Ethics will also be covered on each level’s Essential Employability Module (EEM). None more so, said Bateman, than the Strategic Professional Level’s Ethical, Sustainable Leadership Essential EEM, where leadership and ethics comes together.
As the Ethics and Professional Skills Module (EPSM) will not form part of the redesigned qualification, students must decide if they are going to sit it before it is removed on mid-July 2027. Those opting not to sit the EPSM will have to sit the new Ethical, Sustainable Leadership EEM. And, those who pass EPSM will receive a transition credit for the Ethical Sustainable Leadership EEM.

Bad debts and provisions. Same thing? Not quite! 📊

Writing off a bad debt and adjusting a provision might sound like two ways of doing the same thing, but there's an important difference.

And it's one that can easily catch AAT students out!

Our very own Sarah Wilson explains it all in her latest article for PQ Magazine, 'Bad debts and provisions: beyond the write-off'.

From understanding why the order matters to avoiding common accounting mistakes, Sarah breaks it all down with a handy worked example.

A useful read for AAT students and anyone wanting to brush up on their accounting knowledge.
