Accounting is a service activity. It is one of the key functions for any business. Its aim is to provide quantitative financial information to a business. It also refers to the process of summarising, analysing and reporting financial transactions. The basic accounting functions are normally done by a book-keeper, while more detailed accounting is handled by a qualified accountant. The subject has both a theoretical and practical aspect.
The Advanced level examination delves deeper in the subject and is divided into two papers of 3 hours each. Paper 1 deals with financial accounting while paper 2 includes cost and management accounting.
The Intermediate level is assessed by a three-hour paper which includes financial accounting and cost and management accounting. Both syllabi build on the SEC syllabus and seek to develop the students’ financial literacy, presentation and evaluative skills.
