[New window; Log-In Required]

All examinations will be of three hours duration

In regions where it is appropriate, variant and adapted papers will be available. Adapted papers will be offered for papers 1.1, 2.5, 2.6, option paper 3.1 plus core paper 3.6. Variant papers will be offered for papers 2.2, 2.3 and option paper 3.2.

Examination entries

Students can sit up to four papers from Parts 1 and 2, but papers must be sat in order.
Students must have completed all Part 1 papers before attempting any Part 3 papers.
Students can sit up to four papers from Parts 2 and 3 but papers must be sat in order.
Students may attempt either one or two option papers at one examination session in any order. Option(s) may be changed at a subsequent examination session. Students are required to complete one of the option papers prior to attempting core papers 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7.
The three core papers must be sat together. They can, however, be sat alongside either an outstanding paper from Part 2 providing both options have been completed, or one of the option papers so long as one of the option papers has been passed.
Students who wish to proceed to UK Registered Auditor status and have been exempted from both Parts 1 and 2 of the ACCA examinations will normally have five years from the date of registration (i.e. ten consecutive examination sessions) in which to complete the Part 3 examinations.
All other students will have 10 years to complete the examinations, from the date of their student registration. Existing students will have 10 years from their first eligible examination session (December 2001) following transfer.

Examination results

Individual subject passes will be allowed for all papers in Parts 1 and 2 plus option papers 3.1-3.4. The pass mark for all papers is 50%.
Core papers 3.5 - 3.7 must be sat and passed at the same session. A referral can be granted in one paper where a mark of 30%-49% is achieved and passes are obtained in the other two papers. Students must pass the referred paper at either of the next two examination sessions, otherwise all three papers must be re-taken.

Fees

The annual subscription fee was due and payable on 1 January 2007. Remember you can pay your fees online at myACCA.

Every student on file as at 1 January each year is required to pay a subscription for that year in order to remain active on the register. The initial subscription fee submitted with your Initial Registration Form is required to cover the registration process and to maintain your name on file for the calendar year in which you register. Students with a registration date (as shown on your ID card) between 1 January 2006 and 31 December 2006 inclusive are required to pay a subscription fee in 2007.

Students who fail to pay fees when due (including examination/exemption fees), will have their names removed from the ACCA register. Students wishing to re-register are now required to submit any amounts unpaid at the time of their removal in addition to the re-registration fee. No penalty fee will be charged. Confirmation of your unpaid fees can be obtained from your national ACCA office or ACCA Connect.

Special facilities can be arranged for disabled students, and where appropriate - for example in remote areas or where religion places restrictions on attendance at regular examination centres - ACCA will consider requests to set up alternative examination centres but this may attract an additional fee.
