CIPFA – more outstanding results
24/02/2010
First-rate is how CIPFA is describing the latest pass rates of candidates who sat the December 2009 exams.
Four papers had pass rates of over 80%. The taxation ‘success rate’ jumped a massive 22% when compared with June. The highest overall pass rate was 84% for Public Finance, up 6% on June 2009.
In all eight out of the 13 papers saw a rise with another remaining static.
There is one concern – the pass rate of the case study. Just 57% passed this time around compared with 67% a year ago.
CIPFA’s Adrian Pulham explained that the December sitting had a higher number of resits on this paper. “One of the overall affects of this was that the pass rate dropped," he said. Pulham wasn’t being complacent and stressed his exam team was looking at how they could provide even more support and guidance to these PQs.
