The Year in Brief
 The team has changed
 Focus been on preparing for updated framework
 Some more overseas work
 Not much visiting verification
SQA Updating framework
 Introduced at last Network Event
 QD team working behind the scenes
 HNC Unit specifications rewritten
 HNC Unit exemplars currently in process of
completion
Support Materials
 Support documentation prepared
 Thanks to Gerry and rest of the team
 Layouts and worked examples available to ensure
consistency
Next?
 Once the HNC materials are available on the
secure site HND work will commence.
 HNC revised updated Units come into play from
1st August 2015
 If they are not used then sanctions are likely
 Please spread work to colleagues delivering non
HNC Accounting Units - ie Units in other
frameworks.
Issues identified in 2013-14
 One or two assessors still not applying consequential
marking.
 One or two assessors not updating Tax Units
– some updating tax but forgetting GU3
– some not updating at all
 GU2 - some assessors not requiring candidates
to meet all of minimum criteria instead focusing
on 50% of marks target.
 Assessments MUST be kept secure
 Candidates must not know what is in
assessments prior to the assessment event
Prior Verification
 Recommended for alternative assessments
 Use the service - its currently free but gives you
piece of mind.
 Means that you are prepared for EV activity
 Ensure you include IV documentation
 Use the additional resource base you have from
combining your centre with others in your newly
merged centre.
