Minor updates to Advanced Higher Accounting coursework assessment task
05-AUG-2022
SQA is updating course specifications and assessment support materials for some National Courses, following the 2022 exam diet, to clarify some of the information for candidates, teachers, and lecturers. It is normal practice for us to review these materials after the exam diet concludes. During marking, our exam teams sometimes identify areas of the published marking instructions or instructions for candidates that could be made clearer – particularly for new or revised assessments being marked for the first time.
The 2022 exam diet was the first time the Advanced Higher Accounting project had been marked by SQA since it was revised for session 2019-20 onwards. Following feedback from the marking team, we have made some minor changes to the coursework assessment task and detailed marking instructions to clarify the requirements for the ‘Annual reports: theory’ section of the Advanced Higher Accounting Project.
The updated coursework assessment task is available from the Advanced Higher page, under 'Coursework'. Please use this latest version with your candidates (dated August 2022).
