CIPFA students seemed to struggle with the Taxation paper this time around, with the pass rate falling from 82.3% in December 2019 to just 68.9% in June.
Another worry will be the slump in the Public Service Financial Reporting paper success rate. It has dropped below 50%, to a lowly 46.7%.

On the good news side Audit and Assurance pass rates jumped from 50% in December to 87.8% this summer, back to its normal pass rate.
