I am not sure that everything is in place to actually start the syllabus yet. Hopefully James can enlighten us, as it a next step for me but wont make a start until everything is in place.
The text book is in its final stage of proof reading, design etc etc. Target is to release it in January.
The examination would either be online, or centre based (Pearsons). This depends on the accounting associations if the ICB decides to make this a route into accountancy.
