A-Level Accounts Syllabus 2010

The syllabus builds on the topics set for the SEC Examination in accounting and seeks to develop the
students’ literacy, presentation and evaluative skills in the broad areas of Financial and Management
Accounting.

Candidates will be expected to demonstrate a sound knowledge of basic accounting, appropriate for an
understanding of the areas covered by the subject contents.

Questions may be set to reflect the local environment and candidates are expected to base their
answers on the local regulatory framework of accounting.

Two papers of three hours’ duration are set.

Paper I examines Financial Accounting topics and Paper 2 deals with Management Accounting topics.
Each paper carries 50% of the global mark.

Each paper shall consist of two sections: Section A and Section B.

In Section A two questions are set, of which candidates are required to answer one question. This
question carries approximately 30% of the marks of each paper.

This section carries approximately 70% of the marks of each paper.

Approximately 25% of the mark in any question will be allotted to essay-type questions. Questions of
