Why choose Edexcel International A-level
Accounting?
Accounting is known as the
language of business. It is essential for the recording and presentation of business
activities in the form of business accounts, financial reporting in the form of financial
statements and the provision of relevant economic information for management decision making
and control. Accounting serves this purpose by identifying, classifying and summarising, and
presenting financial information in order to facilitate decision making and compliance with
the law. It looks at ways in which businesses can maximise profits, manage costs and
allocate resources effectively and efficiently.
This qualification is 100% externally assessed by examination and has a modular structure, with three
exam sessions each year in October, January and June (not all subjects are available in each exam
session). A table of the course structure can be found at the bottom of the page.
