ACCA Course Explained

Introduction

The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, known as ACCA, is a worldwide recognised course with over 200,000 members and 600,000 students in 180+ countries. This is the world’s largest professional accounting qualification. ACCA is one of the most respected accounting certificates, and many students choose it to launch a successful career in commerce and accounting overseas.

In India, ACCA is considered comparable to CA, and most organisations, including PWC, KPMG, Deloitte, EY, Grant Thornton, and BDO, recruit ACCA professionals at the same wage. 

ACCA Syllabus

Chartered Accountancy topics such as Accounting, Financial Reporting, Auditing, Taxation, Business Finance, and Financial Management are covered in ACCA courses. ACCA Syllabus comprises a total of 13 exams that a candidate must appear for. The 13 tests are divided into three levels: knowledge, skill, and professional.

The Knowledge Level tests are available on-demand throughout the year. Skill and Professional Level tests are held every March, June, September, and December. Before 2021, Professional level exams were paper-based; however, all three levels of the ACCA syllabus are now computer-based. 

ACCA Course Exemptions

ACCA provides certain exemptions to Commerce Graduates, Post Graduate (M.Com) Inter CA Students, and CA Qualified Individuals. Candidates who have just completed their class 12 examinations do not meet the conditions above. Still, they are nevertheless eligible to apply for the ACCA Exam through the Foundation in Accountancy (FIA) route.

ACCA Eligibility Criteria

ACCA Course Eligibility: To be eligible to register for the ACCA qualification, students must have passed their 10+2 examinations with an average of 65% in Mathematics / Accounts and English, and at least 50% in other courses.

Candidates who have recently completed their class 10 examinations or do not meet the aforementioned prerequisites can still register for the ACCA Course through the Foundation in Accountancy (FIA) route.

ACCA Fee Structure

The ACCA Exam takes place four times a year such as March, June, September, and December sessions. Because the ACCA fee structure demands payment in GBP, the cost of obtaining ACCA in India is susceptible to exchange rate fluctuations. All required fees must be paid before the beginning of each semester. ACCA Exam Fees vary by topic, save for papers excluded from our graduating degree (F1 – F7), and are subject to change at any time.
