In the design of professional accounting education programs, the three competence areas listed in
Table A may not be identical to the names of prescribed courses or subjects. Also the learning
outcomes associated with one competence area (e.g., ethical principles) may be achieved across
more than one course or subject. The achievement of some learning outcomes (e.g., those within
professional skepticism and professional judgment) may extend across several different courses or
subjects, none of which may be devoted solely to that competence area. In addition, the sequence
in which the competence areas are included in a professional accounting education program may
differ from the sequence presented in Table A (e.g., commitment to the public interest is listed
towards the end of the list of competence areas in Table A, but may be covered fairly early in a
professional accounting education program).
