What the Accountancy Comprehension Test measures
The Accountancy Comprehension Test measures a candidate's ability to check figures against rules, match documents and spot discrepancies, and draw sound conclusions from financial records, using only the information provided. No accounting knowledge is required: every rule needed is shown on screen.
Checking against policy
Checking expense-claim lines against a printed policy and counting the errors.
Matching documents
Matching supplier invoices to a purchase order and counting the discrepancies.
Reasoning from records
Judging statements about a working document as True, False or Cannot tell.
Why organisations choose Viewpoint work skills tests
Real tasks, not self-report
Candidates show what they can actually do, rather than telling you what they think they can do.
Scored automatically
Every answer is scored the same way, with no marking for you to do.
Built for the role
Tasks reflect the work people really do in the job, so results speak directly to performance.
Clear reports
Clear results for recruiters, and supportive feedback for candidates.
