The CIPFA June pass rates make good reading for many sitters.
Students will be pleased to see the Strategic Case Study pass rates are back up to 63%, they were just 48% in March. The Strategic Public Financial Management pass rates are also above 80% this time around, and these pass rates haven’t been that good for four sitting!
The pass rate of 56.99% for Audit and Assurance is also high for this particular paper – students will remember in December last year the pass rate was just 35.97%.
In all some seven papers had pass rates of 80% and over.
On the downside was the slip in the Management Accounting pass rate to 43.22%. The June, September and December pass rates for this paper last year were over 90% at each sitting.
Another problem paper was the Public Sector Financial Reporting (UK) pass rates, which slipped below 70%. In December 2025 the PSFR (UK) pass rate was 91%.
Business Reporting pass rates also have a bit of a yo-yo effect. For this June the pass rate was 49.74%, while in March it was 76.92%
