Using computer technology to carry out assessment is getting common among education institutions nowadays. This is because computer-based assessment system brings lots of benefits compared to the conventional assessment system that uses paper and pen. In this project, the problem faced by the Certified Accounting Technician (CAT) students in Malaysia, who will attempt the computer-based assessment offered by The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), a professional accountancy body in the United Kingdom, is identified. Their main problem is that they do not have the experience using any computer-based assessment system. A computer-based assessment system is developed to overcome this problem. The computer-based assessment system is only focus on multiple choice question type of assessment and only for the subject of "Office Practice and Procedures". The whole process of developing the computer-based assessment system is carried out according to the methodology of developing a multimedia title.

In future, this computer-based assessment system is recommended to include text-entry type of questions and extra features like providing feedback to user after the assessment.
