ACCOUNTING CONTENT ACROSS TWO PAPERS GRADES 10-12 7

1. OVERVIEW
The Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) for Accounting outlines the nature and purpose of the subject Accounting. This guides the philosophy underlying the teaching and assessment of the subject in Grades 10-12.
The points outlined in CAPS consequently have a significant effect on the setting of Accounting examinations.
The purpose of these Examination Guidelines is to highlight and further clarify these points to: � inform teachers on examination principles and curriculum content affecting the NSC
examinations so that these can be reflected in school-based assessments � assist teachers in adequately preparing learners for the demands of the NSC
examinations.
2. FORMAT OF ACCOUNTING GRADE 10 MID-YEAR & YEAR-END EXAMINATION PAPERS
Examinati
ons Number of papers Marks Time
Mid-year 1 paper 200 2 hours Year-end 2 papers 150 each 2 hours each
The number of questions may vary from 3 to 6 questions in each paper. There is no stipulation on the marks allocated to each question. All questions are compulsory and are to be answered in specially prepared answer books, which are designed to address the requirements of each question and assist learners in time-management.
Year-end
examination Marks Time
Paper 1 150 2 hours Paper 2 150 2 hours TOTAL 300
The Accounting topics (previously in three fields) have been consolidated into two broad disciplines. Discipline 1 covers topics of reporting to external stakeholders, while Discipline 2 covers topics related to internal accounting processes.
Because the Grade 10 work plan for the first two terms is focused heavily on Discipline 1, the mid-year Grade 10 examination paper will predominantly contain topics related to this discipline. However, the mid-year paper may contain certain topics (e.g. ethics and internal control) that have been integrated into the teaching of Discipline 1 in the first two terms of Grade 10.
The weighting of each broad discipline across the two year-end papers is amended to:
AMENDED WEIGHTING TO CATER FOR TWO EXAMINATION PAPERS
Discipline 1 Recording, Reporting and Evaluation of Financial Information
Paper 1 150 marks; 2 hours
Discipline 2 Manufacturing, Forecasting & Internal Auditing and Control
Paper 2 150 marks; 2hours
Copyright reserved
4
Note:
� Refer to the table below and to Appendix 1 for specific examinable content across the two examination papers.
� The principle of integration of topics of Ethics and Internal Control in the teaching of other topics, where appropriate, is retained.
� Certain financial indicators apply to both disciplines and both examination papers. These are listed below and in Appendix 1.
� Although a formula sheet will be provided, candidates will be required to identify the appropriate financial indicators in calculating the relevant indicators and in supporting comments in interpreting and evaluating financial information. Teachers are advised to guide learners in understanding the logic of each financial indicator to enhance their comments on the financial indicators, and to avoid reliance on the formula sheet.

4. RELEVANT SECTIONS OF CAPS FOR ACCOUNTING WHICH HAVE A DIRECT EFFECT ON THE SETTING OF EXAMINATION PAPERS
The Accounting CAPS contains several requirements which, apart from influencing the general teaching and assessment of the subject, have a direct bearing on the structure of and content addressed in formal examinations, including the Accounting NSC examination. The relevant sections are as follows (refer to the CAPS for further details):
Page 8- 9
The nature and purpose of Accounting i.e. the subject is not limited to recording and preparation of financial information; the subject also addresses skills of recording, analysing, interpreting, communicating, presenting and problem-solving.
Page 8 Weighting of content to be addressed in the Grade 10-12 curriculum i.e. 50%: Recording, Reporting and Evaluation of Financial Information & Corporate Governance 50%: Manufacturing, Forecasting & Internal Auditing and Control
Page 42 Formal assessment tasks i.e. these should prepare learners for the demands of the Accounting NSC examination.
Page 44 Content relating to previous grades i.e. Grade 12 examinations may contain a 20% weighting of content stipulated in previous grades which has an impact on Grade 12 content.
Page 44 Cognitive levels to be addressed i.e. in the weighting of lower-order (30%); middle order (40%) and higher order (30%).
Page 44 Problem-solving i.e. 10% of all examinations may address problem-solving questions (in new and unfamiliar contexts) using critical and creative thinking.
5. DEGREES OF CHALLENGE
All examinations, and most assessment tasks in Accounting, must reflect sub- questions of differing degrees of challenge i.e. Easy, Moderate and Difficult.
The following weighting of degrees of challenge is generally accepted as appropriate for Grade 10-12 examinations:
Easy Moderate Difficult 30% 40% 30%
It must be noted that degrees of challenge are not necessarily tied to specific cognitive levels. A higher-order cognitive level question might not necessarily be Difficult, while a lower-order level question might not necessarily be Easy.
For example,

7
� In preparing financial statements, year-end adjustments will be regarded as being of the middle-order cognitive level (i.e. Applying), yet they could be Easy, Moderate or Difficult in challenge depending on the adjustment required.
� In comparing the % returns of two companies, the appropriate cognitive level would be higher order (i.e. Evaluating), yet the degree of challenge might well be Easy, depending on the context of the question and information provided.
� In a problem-solving question, the identifying of a problem from given financial information will be regarded as being of the higher order level (i.e. Creating), but could be Easy, Moderate or Difficult in challenge, depending on the context of the question and information provided.
� Assessment of whether a sub-question is Easy, Moderate or Difficult is obviously a subjective exercise which depends on the opinion and perception of the reviewer. Nevertheless, the exercise must be carried out by examiners and moderators to ensure that examination papers cater for the full range of abilities of learners who are adequately prepared for Accounting NSC examinations.

1. INTRODUCTION
The Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) for Business Studies outlines the nature and purpose of the subject Business Studies. This guides the philosophy underlying the teaching and assessment of the subject in Grade 10.
The purpose of these Examination Guidelines is to:
� Provide clarity on the depth and scope of the Business Studies content to be assessed in the
Grade 10 Examination. � Assist teachers to adequately prepare learners for the examinations. � Guide examiners to assess content that was taught at the prescribed level.
This document deals with the mid and final year Grade 10 examinations. It does not deal in any depth with the School-Based Assessment (SBA).
This guideline should be read in conjunction with:
� The National Curriculum Statement (NCS) Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement
(CAPS): Business Studies � The National Protocol of Assessment: An addendum to the policy document, the National
Senior Certificate: A qualification at Level 4 on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF), regarding the National Protocol for Assessment (Grades R–12)
� The national policy pertaining to the programme and promotion requirements of the National Curriculum Statement, Grades R–12.
Teachers must note that these are only guidelines and changes in the business environment should be taken into consideration when topics are taught.
New/Recent or amended legislation, new developments or changing economic condition which affect the business environment should inform the teaching of Business Studies.
NOTE: 1. It must be emphasised that teachers should not only focus on content, but also link it to the
cognitive levels (low, middle and high order thinking) in their teaching and assessment. Teachers are encouraged to consider the following five aspects when teaching and assessing all topics and sub-topics:
� What? (nature, purpose and knowledge) [low order] � How? (skills, knowledge and values) [low and middle order] � Why? [middle and higher cognitive levels are stimulated when forming an opinion] � Is it working/successful/good/bad? (evaluation/critical analysis/impact [high order] is
addressed) � Recommendations for improvement, where applicable.
2. The above aspects will guide teachers to set/design formal assessment activities that will
address all cognitive levels. Learners are equipped to respond to questions/tasks that require different levels of cognitive thinking and difficulty.
3. ALL assessment tasks (informal and formal) should contain questions/instructions that cover
all cognitive levels that range from simple to complex e.g. list/outline/identify/discuss/ Analyse/critically evaluate/suggest/recommend/devise.
4. Note: The cognitive verbs indicated in this guideline are simply a guide. Teachers and
examiners may use other verbs that are relevant to the nature and context of the question in order to increase/decrease levels of cognitive thinking and difficulty.

Business Studies 31 Examination Guidelines

7. GUIDELINES FOR ANSWERING THE BUSINESS STUDIES QUESTION PAPER Planning and organisation is extremely important. A well-planned work schedule/study timetable will ensure the completion of the curriculum which will adequately prepare learners for the end-of-the- year examination.
Preparation for quality responses � Use the above-mentioned resource materials to prepare learners for answering different TYPES
of questions. � Remember that each TOPIC can be tested with objective, short, paragraph or essay type
questions. � An essay question may include a combination of topics and subtopics. � Take careful note of the ACTION WORDS/VERBS used in the question, e.g.:
- List/Name/State means learners should provide direct answers without discussion. - Discuss/Evaluate/Explain/Describe/Justify (or other higher cognitive verbs) means learners
must give more information on the fact(s) they have listed/named/stated. Give reasons, examples etc. to substantiate the answer.
� Familiarise learners with the Notes to Markers included in NSC question paper memoranda. Refer particularly to the NSC Notes to Markers (November 2017 and later), as there were some adjustments regarding the mark allocation in SECTION B (with questions containing case studies) and SECTION C (synthesis and analysis).
� When analysing topics and subtopics, study the last column (a guide to core content). � The mark allocation will determine the length and time to be spent on the question. � Learners will be penalised if the numbering of questions is incorrect. This is applicable to all the
sections of the paper. � Learners must keep abreast of current developments in legislation and the industry to be able to
provide recent examples in order to obtain marks for originality in essay questions. Originality should not be seen as a separate section in an essay type question, but rather as an example that will either strengthen a point made, or enhance the discussion of the topic of the essay.
TYPES OF QUESTIONS
SECTION A Multiple-choice, matching, choosing the correct concept/terminology, etc. (objective questions):
These types of questions require learners to have a thorough knowledge of the subject and they have to exercise logic and good insight.
The recommended approach to multiple-choice questions is to read and analyse the statement carefully. Thereafter, study the alternatives carefully and eliminate the incorrect options. Review the remaining possible answers and choose the correct one.
SECTION B Paragraph style, case studies and source-based questions – shorter type questions:
� Learners must read and understand the information presented. � Questions can be direct or indirect. These include source-based questions and case studies. � Learners must possess a broader/deeper understanding of the broad topics and sub- topics to be
able to substantiate, motivate, give reasons, justify, evaluate, etc. � Learners will be required to provide their opinion, solve problems and make recommendations
related to the question. � Questions range from easy to difficult in terms of cognitive levels and levels/degrees of difficulty.
(TAKE NOTE of the revised Bloom's taxonomy.)

DBE/2018

SECTION C Longer/Essay type of questions
Learners must be able to organise information on a topic systematically and logically to be able to evaluate/analyse/motivate/suggest/recommend and elaborate on topics extracted from given case studies, scenarios etc. Learners must enhance or support their answers/viewpoints with recent examples to obtain marks for originality.
Learners must be familiar with words, such as 'challenges' and 'areas of concern', so that they are able to identify challenges in the case studies and to make recommendations. It is imperative that learners do not associate the word 'challenges' only with business environments or 'areas' only with geographical regions.
ESSAY-TYPE QUESTIONS CONSIST OF:
1. Introduction (2 x 1) (2) 2. Core Content – Body (headings, subheadings, paragraphs). FULL SENTENCES must be
used, but they may be bulleted, where applicable. 50 marks (Mark until a maximum of 32 has been reached)
3. Conclusion (Learners give their opinion in response to the question/statement) The mark allocation for an essay-type of question is generally as follows:
(1 x 2) (2)
CONTENT MARKS
Facts 32 Layout 2 Analysis & interpretation Is the candidate able to break down the
question into headings/sub-headings/interpret it correctly to show understanding of what is being asked?
Marks to be allocated using this guide:
All headings addressed: 1 (One 'A') Interpretation (16 to 32 marks): 1 (One 'A')
2
Synthesis
Factual marks No Some
Synthesis marks 0 1

Mark allocation for ANALYSIS All headings addressed: 1 (One 'A') Interpretation (16 to 32 marks): 1 (One 'A')
Mark allocation for SYNTHESIS:
1. Indicate TWO ‘-S’ (‘minus S’) marks, if no relevant facts were given. NO synthesis marks will be awarded.
2. Indicate ONE ‘-S’ if some irrelevant facts were given. ONE (1) synthesis mark will be awarded. 3. Indicate NO ‘-S’, if ONLY relevant facts were given. Award TWO (2) marks for synthesis.
NOTE: Higher-order questions can be drawn from the contents prescribed in the CAPS document. This can take the form of application-type questions, e.g. correlation with practice, justification with reasoning, make predictions, suggest improvements, compile reports, provide recommendations, deduce, establish, evaluate, apply, etc. Note the action verbs that are used in the Examination Guidelines and CAPS document.
8. CONCLUSION
This Examination Guidelines document is meant to articulate the assessment aspirations espoused in the CAPS document. It is therefore not a substitute for the CAPS document which teachers should teach to. Qualitative curriculum coverage as enunciated in the CAPS cannot be over-emphasised.
