AAT/ACCA marking

[Msrachel]

I’m thinking of applying to be an exam marker for AAT or ACCA

Does anyone else do this? Could you advise on rates of pay and whether it’s worth it ?

For reference I own a small accountancy practice and I’m ACCA qualified.

I know nothing about this line of work so forgive me !
But wouldn’t actual accountancy work be more lucrative?
And do you need to be a qualified accountant to mark this sort of stuff ? I would have thought there’s answer sheets to compare them to, which means basically anyone can mark them ?

Yes you do need to be a qualified accountant to mark them.

Accountancy work is of course more lucrative, but marking papers is a nice side line idea, although I think it’s quite difficult to get picked to do it.
