dc.description	GENERAL PERFORMANCE OF CANDIDATES Scripts that were marked and moderated indicated poor performance in many examination centers and average performance in a few others. However, there were some isolated good scripts that were marked throughout the country. This is not surprising because of the type of preparation for the examination in different centers. The performance of candidates may also be a function of good tuition.	en_US
dc.description.abstract	STANDARD OF THE PAPER The standard and the choice of the questions were satisfactory. Evaluation of the examination questions indicated that about 80 percent of the topics in the syllabus were covered. This is quite commendable because it provided the candidates enough flexibility to answer a variety of topics in the syllabus. The coverage and weighting structure of the Public Sector Accounting and Finance Paper, however, seemed to be slightly unbalanced. Major topics such as the Budget and PEFA (Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability) were ignored. Although the questions were relatively not difficult to answer, a few of the questions appeared problematic in the minds of many of the candidates. This is not surprising because the questions mainly involved a measure of critical thinking and practice rather than knowledge-based enquiry or recall system that the candidates were familiar with. The questions set were not substandard although many candidates struggled to understand them.	en_US
