I think you are missing the point,

what exams are you doing ? Acca, aca, cima etc....

There are lots of accountancy qualifications out there all with different pass rates

2013 final stage Pass Rates for the Top 4 Accountancy Bodies in Ireland

CAI: In CAI's last two (Autumn) sittings of the Old FAE course the pass rate was 76.3% in 2008 & 76.3% again in 2009.

Under the new FAE course the overall pass rate dropped to 62% in 2010 and fell again to 55% for 2011.

Back at 62.3% for 2012 and and 63.4% in 2013

Note: you can only do CAI finals once per year.

CPA: CPA usually publish their pass figures in their annual reports.

See post 17 in this thread for all results from 2003 to 2012.

Pass rate average for CPA's finals (P2s) in
2010: 57.5%.
2011: 53.8%
2012: 54.2%

You can sit CPA exams twice per year.

ACCA: ACCA seem to publish the pass rates on a global basis only, not the pass rates in Ireland.

Final Stage (Ps) average was
June 2012: 42.3%
June 2013: 41.4%

with two sittings per year.

CIMA: CIMA, like ACAA, seem to publish the pass rates on a global basis only, not the pass rates in Ireland.

Final stage (Strategic Level) pass rate:
2012: 49.8%
2013: 58.3%

with two sittings per year.

Check out the Key-Facts-and-Trends-2013 by FRC
Im a new user so can post links, so just google that and you can see report...

Look at page 28

Pass Rates 2008 – 2012
Chart 11 shows the percentage of candidates who passed the final examination, for the period 2008 to
2012 and chart 12 shows the percentage of those that were first time pass re all accountancy bodies..

Looks like CAI pass rates are on the rise again.

The report also says fee income per member for CAI is down 38% over years, so could be that CAI pass rates will rise again and attract much needed revenues lol


Also the CAI websites states;

Chartered Accountancy students benefit from a pass rate far higher than other accountancy students. Between 2007 and 2010, the average pass rate for the Chartered Accountants Ireland final examination was 70%, compared to 54% for ACCA worldwide and 52% for CIMA students.

Elsewhere on the same webpage it states;

An example of the success of the ACA training is pass rates of 62% in 2013 at Final Admitting Examination- A pass rate much higher than that of other accountancy bodies.
