Introduction

Level 3 Diploma in Accounting Skills Check

This assessment contains 5 Tasks and you should attempt EVERY Task.

Read each task carefully to make sure you understand what is required.

Both minus signs and brackets can be used to indicate negative numbers UNLESS the task states otherwise.

Numerical answers MUST NOT include any blank spaces and you MUST use a full stop to indicate a decimal point. For example, write 999.99 and NOT 999,99 or 999 99.

You may use a comma to indicate thousands, but you don’t have to. For example, 150000 and 150,000 are both acceptable.

Once saved, you will be able to restore or remove your most recent data should you need to reload the assignment at a future point.
