Principles of Assessment (Ref: Para 9)
A9. Professional accounting education programs are designed to support aspiring professional accountants to develop the appropriate professional competence by the end of IPD. They may consist of formal education delivered through degrees and courses offered by universities, other higher education providers, IFAC member bodies, and employers, as well as workplace training. The design of the professional accounting education programs during IPD may therefore involve
substantive input from stakeholders other than IFAC member bodies.
A10. The principles of assessment apply to individual assessment activities that are conducted during IPD. However, it may not always be possible to achieve high levels of reliability, validity, equity, transparency, and sufficiency for each individual assessment activity.
A11. An assessment activity has a high level of reliability if it consistently produces the same result, given the same set of circumstances. Reliability is not an absolute measure, and different assessment activities may have different levels of reliability. An assessment activity has high reliability if the majority of assessors, acting independently, consistently come to the same judgment, given the same set of circumstances.
