Under the Financial Accounting topic of the app, the concepts that are covered include transaction analysis, double entry accounting system, accounting for cash, and financial statement analysis. Among the concepts tested in the Management Accounting topic are basic cost concepts, product costing classifications, cost accumulation, and cost-volume-profit relationships.

The key learning objectives of the SMU Challenge game include the understanding and application of concepts covered in three broad areas: financial accounting, management accounting, and audit and assurance.
