ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) is the global body for professional accountants and aims to offer business-relevant, first-choice qualifications to people of application, ability and ambition around the world who seek a rewarding career in accountancy, finance and management.
ACCA qualification is designed to provide the accounting knowledge, skills and professional values which will deliver finance professionals who are capable of building successful careers across all sectors.
In order to qualify as an ACCA member, you will need to complete:
• 14 exams (nine of which are eligible for exemption)
• Relevant practical experience, with a minimum of three years
• A Professional Ethics module
Requirements
ACCA offer you various entry points on to the ACCA Qualification depending on your previous academic qualifications.
The minimum entry requirement is two A Levels and three GCSEs or their equivalent. These need to be in five separate subjects including English and maths.
Full information for each country is available in the minimum entry criteria document, which is located on the exemptions enquiry database.
If you do not meet the minimum entry requirements to start the ACCA Qualification, then you will need to apply for Foundations in Accountancy and take some or all of these awards before continuing with the ACCA Qualification. If you complete the Diploma in Accounting and Business you will be able to transfer over to the ACCA Qualification, claim exemption from F1, F2 and F3 and continue your studies from F4 onwards. Please visit the Foundations in Accountancy section in the Related links list on the left-hand side of the page for more information.
ACCA Qualification Graduate-Entry Route
If you have a relevant degree from a university accredited by ACCA, then you may not need to take all of the ACCA Qualification exams. Nine exams at the Fundamentals level of the ACCA Qualification are eligible for exemption. You cannot claim exemptions from any exams at the Professional level.
Even if your qualifications are not from an accredited institution, you still may not need to take all of the exams. The amount of exemptions you can get will depend on how well your current qualifications match ACCA studies.
Please refer to the Exemptions enquiry database to find out what exemptions you may be able to claim by clicking on the Related links list on the left-hand side of this page.
ACCA Exam Entry Process:
The key changes to the exam entry process are the addition of an early exam entry period to the standard and late exam entry periods which already exist and combined initial application with exam entry for students who apply online.
These changes and new dates will impact on when potential students should submit their initial application to ACCA. Students can now choose to submit an initial application at any time. However their application must be received by ACCA in plenty of time for ACCA to process it in respect of their chosen exam entry period. ACCA’s guideline is that initial applications should be received at least 20 days in advance of the published exam entry period closing dates. The dates are as follows and will be introduced from the beginning of July 2011.
