Contribution Exchange

info@contributionexchange.org

Making contribution visible, trusted, and portable.

Contribution Exchange is an international organization headquartered in Ottawa, Canada, building shared infrastructure for recognizing learning and capability developed through contribution.

Through an international federation of National Contribution Exchanges, Contribution Exchange stewards common standards for work-based learning, professional practice, recognition, and quality assurance. Its systems help organizations structure, validate, and recognize learning developed through work, community, civic, cultural, and other purposeful contributions.

Contribution Exchange also stewards the Work-Based Learning Numbering System (WBLNS®) and PathLedger®, providing interoperable infrastructure to index learning standards, record verified contributions, and make trusted evidence of capability portable across organizations, sectors, and borders.

This Training Unit develops managerial accounting practice across internal cost information, budget preparation, variance awareness, resource-use information, operational measures, internal reporting, monitoring, control, and management decision support. Participants demonstrate the ability to prepare, organize, interpret, and communicate internal accounting information that supports planning, budget monitoring, cost control, resource allocation, corrective action, and operational accountability.

Criteria

Contribution recognized

Support internal planning, monitoring, control, and resource decisions by preparing and interpreting managerial accounting information.

Training Unit structure

This Training Unit aggregates exactly three child Training Items:

  1. ti5863 — Interpret cost and internal management accounting information (73.3.CA6532/ti5863D)

Completion and result

  • Each Artifact Element is assessed through its own reposited Assessment Components.
  • Each required Assessment Component must achieve at least Pass (P) for its Artifact Element.
  • Both Artifact Elements must achieve Pass (P) or Distinction (D) to complete the Training Unit.
  • Any Redo (R) returns the Training Unit for revision.
  • Distinction is available only when the LMO reposits D criteria, and both Artifact Elements achieve D. D is not assumed or inferred.
  • Formal Assessment Methods are not used at TI or TU level; they are reserved for EPA/EA.

Your submission must include

  1. Artifact Element 1 — the artifact file and a short explanation of its context, your role, and how it was used.
  2. Artifact Element 2 — the artifact file and a short explanation of its context, your role, and how it was used.
  3. Contribution context — select pre-service or in-practice.
  4. Organization evaluator details — required for an in-practice submission.
  5. Artifact Authenticity Declaration (AC005) — required.

Both artifacts must arise naturally from workplace or civic/community contribution. Each artifact is assessed directly against its own Redo (R), Pass (P), and optional Distinction (D) criteria. Both must achieve P or D. If either receives R, the application is returned for revision and resubmission.

This TU application does not require a STARR Reflection or Contribution Witness Statement as separately graded Assessment Components.
