Accounting - annotated exemplars

Show: Accounting Homepage

An annotated exemplar is an extract of student evidence, with a commentary, to explain key aspects of the standard. It assists teachers to make assessment judgements at the grade boundaries.

The material in these exemplars cannot be used (either in part or in full) for internal or external assessments submitted for any form of grading.

Trial Exemplars

To further support teachers in identifying the critical aspects of Excellence, NZQA is trialling the publication of an additional exemplar for each Level 3 internal standard for Accounting, Biology and Chemistry. The additional exemplar focuses on the requirements for a secure Excellence, while also identifying why the High Merit exemplar does not meet Excellence.

  • AS91405 - Demonstrate understanding of accounting for partnerships (3.2)
  • AS91407 - Prepare a report for an external user that interprets the annual report of a New Zealand reporting entity (3.4)
  • AS91409 - Demonstrate understanding of a job cost system for an entity (3.6)
