Suitable for: students have the option to take assessments under this syllabus until at least May 2012

Description: The most important factor in passing any assessment is plenty of question practice. The questions in the C02 Practice and Revision Kit cover all areas of the syllabus and are in the same order as the Text chapters. They include separate banks of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and objective-test questions. All are of assessment standard. Therefore students can tailor their question practice to concentrate on areas of weakness, such as basic bookkeeping or incomplete records, or dip into topics as they revise them. There are also two mock assessments to test the whole syllabus.

Description: The C02 Passcards are another important revision tool. Topics are dealt with in the same order as the text, with the cards summarising the key facts that you must know for the assessment. So, for example, the chapter on the accounts of unincorporated organisations gives the pro forma layouts of the financial statements, as well as reminding you how to deal with unique features of these accounts, such as the accumulated fund and bar profits.

Paper C02 concentrates on building a basic understanding of financial accounting. The objective is to give students a good grounding in double entry bookkeeping. Students will also learn the preparation of basic financial statements for sole traders, companies, non-profit making organisations and manufacturing accounts; an introduction to internal and external audit; and interpretation of accounts (cash flow statements and ratios). The main sections are:

  • The conceptual and regulatory framework
  • Accounting systems and accounts preparation
  • Final accounts
  • Audit
  • Interpretation of accounts

All CIMA papers use international terminology and international financial reporting standards. There is no UK stream.

Paper C02 is examined by computer-based assessment (CBA), which means that students can sit their CBA at any time during the year.
