Data Science Professional (SDS) | The NEW ACCA Paper Revealed! | Exclusive First Look | Raza Idris

In this exclusive first-look session, I break down ACCA's newest and most trending paper: Data Science Professional (SDS) and explain what students can actually expect from it. This session is designed to answer the questions many ACCA students and finance professionals are asking: Why has ACCA introduced this paper? What does the SDS exam actually test? Do you need to know how to code? How much data science do accountants really need? How are statistics, models and data used in finance? How will professional scepticism apply to data science? What role do governance, ethics, privacy and risk play? What are the different types of questions you can expect? Where do the marks actually come from? How much of SDS is already familiar to an accountant? In this session, we explore: The structure of the specimen paper The content of the syllabus Professional skills & exam technique One of the biggest takeaways is that SDS is not simply about becoming a data scientist. It is about becoming the accountant who can challenge, evaluate, interpret and govern data-driven decisions. If you're planning to take SDS – Data Science Professional, this is a session you don't want to miss. 👍 Found this lecture helpful?
