ACCA traces its origin to 1904, when eight people formed the London Association of Accountants to allow more open access to the profession than was available through the accounting bodies at the time, notably the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS).
The competition consists of 15 questions of increasing difficulty, where each answer is an integer between 0 and 999 inclusive. Thus the competition effectively removes the element of chance afforded by a multiple-choice test while preserving the ease of automated grading; answers are entered onto an OMR sheet, similar to the way grid-in math questions are answered on the SAT.
British qualified accountants are full voting members of United Kingdom professional bodies that evaluate individual experience and test competencies for accountants. The term accountant has the same legal protection in the United Kingdom as that given to other professions.
Accounting, also known as accountancy, is the process of recording and processing information about economic entities, such as businesses and corporations. [1] [2] Accounting measures the results of an organization's economic activities and conveys this information to a variety of stakeholders, including investors, creditors, management, and regulators.

Lawson-Perfect's approach is to represent each part of a question as a function of the answer to the previous part. That is, if a student answer's "x" for part a, the correct answer to part b is "f(x)." No matter what the student puts for part a, the corresponding answer for part b can be calculated quickly.
Numerical analysis is the study of algorithms that use numerical approximation (as opposed to general symbolic manipulations) for the problems of mathematical analysis (as distinguished from discrete mathematics). [25] Modern numerical analysis does not seek exact answers, because exact answers are often impossible to obtain in practice.
Units conclude with a test called a ‘computer-based assessment’. For apprentices, their course knowledge, practical skills and behaviour in the workplace is assessed through an end-point assessment. This includes an interview, as well as an online test. [13] AAT allows remote invigilation for selected assessments. [14]
There are also a small number of candidates who sit STEP as a challenge. The papers are designed to test ability to answer questions similar in style to undergraduate Mathematics. [2] The official users of STEP in Mathematics at present are the University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, and the University of Warwick.
