About the Advanced Accounting (IFRS) test

Good accounting practices enable your company’s management to make better decisions based on accurate financial statements and projections. It also affords your organization peace of mind knowing that all your bills, payments, and tax filings are taken care of and in good order.

This accounting test assesses candidates’ ability to define basic terminologies and accounting concepts, post figures in the correct accounts and on the correct side (Debit/Credit), calculate accounting figures, and manage accounting figures and financial records. It helps you identify candidates with strong skills who can take over or set up your company’s accounting practices.

Candidates who perform well on this test can competently complete core accounting tasks such as double-entry bookkeeping, booking of inventory, depreciation, accruals, and prepayments. They can also manage accounts payable and accounts receivable, perform analysis of records, and prepare financial statements.

This test follows the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as all concepts, terminology, and test questions align with IFRS.

Review from G2

Any tool can have functions—bells and whistles. Not every tool comes armed with staff passionate about making the user experience positive.

The TestGorilla team only offers useful insights to user challenges, they engage in conversation.

For instance, I recently asked a question about a Python test I intended to implement. Instead of receiving “oh, that test would work perfectly for your solution,” or, “at this time we’re thinking about implementing a solution that may or may not…” I received a direct and straightforward answer with additional thoughts to help shape the solution.

I hope that TestGorilla realizes the value proposition in their work is not only the platform but the type of support that’s provided.

For a bit of context—I am a diversity recruiter trying to create a platform that removes bias from the hiring process and encourages the discovery of new and unseen talent.
