What this practice covers
These questions are drawn from past CIE 9706 Accounting papers and filtered to business ownership and legal form. You answer, you find out immediately whether you were right, and you get the reasoning for the correct option and for each distractor. Wrong answers go to a mistakes locker so you can come back to exactly those.
Practice is free. You need an account only so your progress and your mistakes are still there next time.

- Treating a sole trader's drawings, or a company's dividends, as an expense.
- Saying a public limited company is owned by the government.
- Giving a sole trader a salary in the income statement.
- Confusing the capital of a partnership with the current accounts of the partners.
- Saying a partnership has separate legal identity.
