Accounting: AS and A2 Level
This course will help you understand how and why
organisations produce and use financial and
management accounts in order to help them run more
efficiently.
Course details There are four units that introduce
and develop the main ideas behind financial and
management accounting. You will learn the central
concepts and procedures of accounting, and how to
apply these to solve business problems. You will further
learn how to use account data to help make business
decisions, selecting from a range of alternatives within
ACCOUNTING
the social and legal environment that businesses operate.
How is it assessed? Each year is assessed by two exams,
www.leyton.ac.uk
totalling three hours for AS, and a further four hours for
A2. You can pay to resit exams in order to improve your
mark. You will also complete a number of formal internal
assessments to test your knowledge and skills, which do
not go towards your final mark.
Course duration One year at AS level. One year at
A2 level.
What do I need to study this subject? You should have
GCSEs in both English Language and Mathematics. You
will need to pass AS in order to progress to A2.
Where can this lead me? A levels will provide access to
careers in management, industry and most professions.
You could also study further on degree or HND level
courses, especially in areas such as finance, business,
marketing, management and accountancy. Should you
wish to move into professional accountancy, you may
gain exemptions from the professional body’s
qualifications.
What are the enrichment opportunities? Last year,
students visited the Emirates Stadium, Bruges and Thorpe
Park. In addition, we ran in-house sessions given by an
A level examiner to enhance examination success.
