ACCOUNTANCY A Level
If you’re thinking about accountancy, this excellent A Level will start you on the right path to a successful career. It’s the ideal base for studying business, accountancy, management or economics at university. A significant majority of students also choose to study the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) qualification in this year.
You’ll invest £20,000 in a fantasy share league
Starting with the basics of accounting, the entry of source documents such as invoices and credit notes, you will go on to learn how to produce a full set of final accounts for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies. Topics include correcting errors, operating the cash book and carrying out bank statement reconciliation.
In the second year of this A Level, you’ll study more advanced accounting techniques including partnership accounts, investment appraisal and costing and variance analysis.
An exciting part of the second year curriculum is a fantasy share league. You’ll be ‘given’ £20,000 to invest in the top 100 UK listed public limited companies and we’ll track the progress of your portfolio. Find out how shrewd you can be.
