  1. Accounting and FinanceVerification Group 266 Central Verification Demystified

  2. 2010-2011 Session • June 2011 was the first Central Verification session for the 2010 framework. • The only Unit from the 2010 framework which was under scrutiny here was Graded Unit 1. • Why June?

  3. The purpose • To ensure that standards are met and maintained • Standardisation cross ALL centres

  4. Sample selection • How is the selection made? • Centres offering for the first time • ‘Hold’ from previous submissions • Random sample

  5. Behind closed doors! • Based on the size of the selection the EV team decide how long the process will need • EV team discuss any issues arising in our own centres or those that centres have notified us of in comments forms or queries • EV team look to see which assessment instruments (AIs) have been used • Check to see that Assessment Exemplars have been used or that AI has been Prior Verified.

  6. First steps • Identify the areas of expertise in the room! • Sort submissions into Units • Ensure that there is a fair spread of the workload

  7. Initial Review • Look for the following inside the packs: • Sample sheet – VS00 • Complete list of all candidates and grades • IV records • Exemplar/AI used with solutions

  8. Sample Sheet and Class Lists – why? • To ensure centres have sent a sample which includes a range of marks • To ensure that centres have sent a representative sample of the whole cohort • To allow EV Team to identify how many candidates continue on to complete the GU.

  9. The process • EV Team select a sample from the submission and review each paper in detail to ensure that the standards have been met • EV Team look for centres to identify where they have awarded marks and what they are for if needed • EV Team check that at least a sample have been subject to IV

  10. What happens if EVs don't agree with centre’s marking? • Disagree with marks? • Continue to look at the sample chosen to see if this is an oversight or continues • Select a further sample from the submission • If EV Team disagree with the marking on 4 out of the 12 scripts submitted or 25% of the total submission we have to ‘not accept’

  11. Why might EVs disagree with centres’ marking? • Inconsistency in marking • Including inconsistency across sites • Marking not in line with the solution

  12. IV records – why? • To allow EVs to see what issues each centre has identified – if any • How the centre has approached the GU delivery and assessment • Identify areas of good practice which EVs can share at events like this.

  13. Discussions • Any issues arising, during central verification session, are discussed by the whole team • Any submissions which may highlight problems • All problematic issues are reviewed by the SEV

  14. Reports • The reports are written upon completion of the review by the EV who carried out the review • The reports should give centres a clear indication of how EVs have found their submission • Any reports which have identified that centres have not met the standards contain more detail and are reviewed by the SEV

  15. Guidance tools • SEV report • Understanding Standards • Your EV • Online resources • Network Events

  16. SEV report • This is compiled at the end of each academic session and summarises the findings of the EV team for the whole session • Identifies areas of good practice • Identifies any areas which may need to be clarified
