Accounting is not just limited to number crunching and spreadsheets as might be perceived by some. It is a fascinating, varied and very rewarding subject, both financially and in terms of job satisfaction. Accountants often become part of the top management of any enterprise, large or small. You will use financial data such as wages, sales, and purchases in order to find out: • if a business is making a profit or a loss (trading and profit and loss accounts) • the number of sales that need to be made in order to survive (the break even position) • how much it costs to make a product – in order to set a realistic price and control the business • the overall value of a business (the balance sheet) • the results of business decisions
• You should have at least a grade 5 in GCSE maths. • You should have at least a grade 5 in GCSE English language. • You should have a strong overall GCSE profile.
This is a new-style linear A-level course. You will NOT be entered for an external AS exam at the end of the first year. In the second year of the course, you will take external exams that assess content covered in the first and second year. These exams will determine your A-level grade. All units are assessed by external examination - there are no coursework units. 25-30% of marks are for written content.
