Each FLK evaluation may contain questions incorporating various combinations of these subjects as they could be found in a practical setting.
Ethics and Professional Conduct will be comprehensively evaluated throughout these two evaluations.
Principles of taxation will be specifically evaluated within the contexts of:

  • Business Law and Practice
  • Property Law and Practice

Each FLK evaluation is divided into two sections that detail the subject areas covered. The objectives of each assessment are outlined, followed by a discussion of the legal knowledge and practice expected from candidates in order to answer the questions effectively.
