The scheme of examination is same for both the posts (Recruitment Test followed by interview) with little difference in syllabus.

Syllabus for Recruitment Test of UPSC EPFO for the posts of Enforcement officers and Accounts officers
  • General English
  • Indian Freedom Struggle
  • Current Events and Developmental Issues
  • Indian Polity & Economy
  • General Accounting Principles

  • Governance and Constitution of India 
  • Present Trends in Indian Economy
  • Accounting and Auditing, Industrial Relations, Labour Laws, Insurance 
  • Basic Knowledge of Computer Applications, General Science 
  • Elementary Mathematics, Statistics and General Mental Ability
  • Social Security in India

Broadly, the syllabus for both the examination consists of History, Polity, Economics, General Science, Computer knowledge, Current Affairs, Reasoning & Quant, General English, Labour laws & Industrial Relations, General Accounting Principles and Social Security. 

Here, you can see Accounting is present in both the syllabus and approx. 10 to 15 questions are asked from this topic. Therefore, Accounting stands as quite an important topic for clearing the examination.

Though UPSC has not provided the detailed syllabus for Accounting, therefore it is quite cumbersome to know what to read. 

Through this blog I'm providing my Accounting notes on General Accounting Principles (I've made this note myself. So, if you found any error please let me know).
Thank you!
