The results for UK students sitting exams in December 2014 showed an overall pass rate of 75%, a slight increase on the 72% pass rate in June. There were particularly strong pass rates in the financial reporting (90%) and management accounting (97%) subjects.
CIPFA’s executive director of learning and membership Adrian Pulham congratulated students for what he called an impressive set of results.
‘These results provide a solid foundation for the full launch of CIPFA’s new PQ syllabus and e-assessment later this year,’ he said.
‘The modules our students have passed and the qualifications they have gained will ensure they are in the best position to build a successful career in public finance and make a powerful difference to public services around the world.’
