Abstract: This study examines whether factors identified in the literature as influencing students¡¯ performance explain students¡¯ performance in an Advanced Financial Accounting course. Three variables are chosen- teaching format, cumulative grade point average and study effort to examine their effect on students¡¯ performance. Using questionnaire and experimental approaches on 129 students who were enrolled in Advanced Financial Accounting course in a public university in Malaysia, the results in this study indicate all three variables examined are associated with students¡¯ performance. These results could assist academics in understanding and developing strategies that could be apply at the beginning of the course to ensure students¡¯ performance could be improved. ? Keywords- Students¡¯ performance, Advanced Financial Accounting (AFA), Teaching Format, Cumulative Grade Point Average, Study Effort.
