The PSEB Senior Secondary Accountancy examination is the Class 12 Accountancy paper of the Punjab School Education Board, the body that "came into existence through a legislative enactment in November 1969 for the development and promotion of school education in the state of Punjab." It is taken by regular Class 12 students in PSEB-affiliated schools, by open school candidates, and by re-appear or improvement candidates, and it is a common route into B.Com, BBA and professional courses. The paper is built around four connected areas: partnership fundamentals, the reconstitution of firms through admission, retirement and death, share capital and debentures, and the financial statements of not-for-profit organisations together with company accounts.
