The qualification

OxfordAQA International AS and A-level Accounting (9615)

Our International AS/A-level Accounting course emphasises applying skills to practical contexts, so your students are ready to take on the challenges accountants face in the workplace. — OxfordAQA, official syllabus page

Builds from the role of the accountant and the double-entry model through verification, financial statements for different business types, budgeting and costing methods, to capital investment appraisal and ethics. AS content is half of the A-level content, contributing 40% of the final A-level marks (A2 content the remaining 60%); students may sit AS in year one and A2 in year two, or take all units together at the end. A recently launched specification: first teaching September 2024, first AS exams May/June 2025, first A-level exams May/June 2026.
