ACA Advanced level July results

The July ICAEW Advanced Level July exam results are in.

Just over 6,000 students took 9,578 papers, and the overall pass rates were:

  • Case Study 87.5%.
  • Corporate Reporting 84.7%.
  • Strategic Business Management 82.6%.

However, these pass rates don’t show the whole picture. In all just over 700 ACA students failed all the papers they sat. And, the pass rate for those sitting just the Strategic Businesses Management paper was 57.4%, and for those attempting Corporate Reporting on its own it was 66.5%. This compares to a 72.6% success rate for the 709 students who sat three papers and passed them all!

The ICAEW has also split the results into Europe and the Rest of the World, and there is a worryingly big gap in pass rates. While it is only 12% for the Case Studt exam, it rises to 37% for Corporate Reporting. The gap between the Europe and Rest of the World pass rate for Strategic Business Management is a whopping 43.5%.

The ICAEW’s head of assessment, Richard Eckersley, said: “Congratulations to all ICAEW students who passed their Advanced Level exams, and well done to those students who also received one of our Subject Order of Merit prizes.

“We wish all ACA students the very best of luck with their future studies and their careers.”

Those order of merit prizes went to Faye Bottomley of KPMG, Eleanor Greenwood of Dixon Wilson, Ryan Betts of RSM, and Joseph Gabbot from Forvis Mazars.
