CIPFA – more outstanding results
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 to 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 to 67% a year ago.
PQ magazine spoke to CIPFA’s Adrian Pulham who 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.
