Yes, in the same way it complements other bookkeeping qualifications — the International Association of Bookkeepers' syllabus is built around the same practical bookkeeping and VAT skills that Hey Monika's Scenarios and Challenges are designed to test. If you're studying towards an IAB qualification, the most useful approach is to treat Hey Monika as the place you apply each topic once you've covered it on your course, rather than expecting it to teach IAB content directly.
Hey Monika has mapped its Scenarios and Challenges against IAB's syllabus through its own research. Browse everything live at heymonika.com/resource-hub/library or see the skills mapping at heymonika.com/resource-hub/skills.

Frequently asked questions
Does Hey Monika follow the IAB syllabus structure?
No — it's built around professional bookkeeping practice, not any qualification body's unit structure. The overlap with IAB is deliberate, but Hey Monika isn't an IAB-branded product.
Which Challenges are most relevant to IAB Level 2?
Bank Reconciliation Challenge, Cash Book & Petty Cash Challenge and Assets & Liabilities Challenge cover the core Level 2 areas. VAT Challenge is relevant to IAB units covering VAT preparation.
Can I use Hey Monika before I've finished my IAB course? Yes — you can use it as you go, applying each topic in a realistic context as soon as your course has covered it. Most IAB learners find it most useful once the fundamentals are in place, so the Scenario work can focus on judgment rather than mechanics.
