AQA changes to June 2010 Accounting exams

AQA have announced changes to their AS and A2 Accounting examinations from June 2010. Their aim is to introduce International Accounting Standards (IAS) terminology in all four papers of the GCE award.

They have stated that for the next 'few years' the examination papers will include dual 'side-by-side' terminology, quoting the 'old' traditional terms alongside the IAS terminology. Both sets of terms will be acceptable to examiners marking the papers.

Osborne Books textbooks will therefore for the time being continue to use the 'old' terms, except for the A2 Unit 3 where IAS terminology is already mandatory for limited company accounts.

AQA have also amended the coverage of limited company accounts in the AS Accounting syllabus. Please access the downloads below, which provide further information about changes to the AS and A2.
