accaai is an autonomous Socratic AI tutoring platform purpose-built for students preparing for ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) Applied Skills exams (LW, PM, TX, FR, AA, FM) and Strategic Professional exams (SBL, SBR, AFM, APM, ATX, AAA).

ACCA Standards Cheat Sheet & Citation Matrix
The core rule and the key distinction examiners test for, across the four highest-frequency ACCA Financial Reporting standards.
| Standard | Core Rule | Key Distinction / Formula |
|---|---|---|
| IAS 38 Intangible Assets | Research-phase expenditure must be expensed to profit or loss as incurred - it can never be capitalized. | Development-phase expenditure is only capitalized once all six PIRATE criteria are met: Probable future economic benefit, Intention to complete, Resources adequate to complete, Ability to use or sell, Technical feasibility, Expenditure reliably measurable (no retroactive capitalization of previously expensed research). |
| IFRS 16 Leases | Single lessee accounting model: recognize a Right-of-Use (ROU) asset and a lease liability at commencement for almost all leases, measured at the present value of future lease payments. | Optional exemptions let a lessee expense payments straight-line instead: short-term leases (12 months or less, no purchase option) and low-value asset leases (approximately $5,000 or less when new). |
| IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers | Revenue is recognized through a single 5-step model applied to every contract with a customer. | 1) Identify the contract, 2) Identify the performance obligations, 3) Determine the transaction price, 4) Allocate the price to each obligation, 5) Recognize revenue as, or when, each obligation is satisfied. |
| IAS 36 Impairment of Assets | An asset is impaired - and a loss is recognized - whenever its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. | Recoverable amount = max(FVLCOD, VIU) - the higher of Fair Value Less Costs of Disposal and Value in Use (the present value of the asset's future cash flows). |
