ACCA QUALIFICATION

Develop a Successful Career in Accounting and Finance 5

Where to start?
At ACCA we strongly believe it’s the end result that counts. That’s why it isn’t important to us what qualifications, if any, you have when you
join us. We will start you on your journey at the most relevant level. Through our comprehensive and rigorous exams and training, along with
a range of resources and support to help you on your way to achieving the ACCA Qualification, we will help you reach your career destination
of choice.

Professional - Essential & Options Levels

For graduates with relevant accredited degrees or professional qualification from recognised institutions, you can start your journey to
ACCA membership at the Professional level. Your previous qualifications mean you have already made significant progress towards the exam
component of the ACCA Qualification and could allow you to claim a maximum of nine exemptions. You can check out what exemptions you
may be eligible to claim at www.accaglobal.com/exemptions

Fundamentals - Knowledge & Skills Levels

The ACCA Qualification is divided into two levels – Fundamentals and Professional level. If you meet our minimum entry requirement which
is 10+2 / India School Certificate / Intermediate Certificate / Higher School Certificate / Higher Secondary Certificate / Pre-University Course
– you can start at the Fundamentals level. There are lots of qualifications you can achieve along the way as you work towards ACCA
membership, including a Diploma in Accounting and Business, Advanced Diploma in Accounting and Business and even a BSc degree in
Applied Accounting, awarded by Oxford Brookes University.

Foundation level
We offer a range of Foundation-level certificates and diplomas which provide the ideal starting point for anyone new to accounting and
finance and who doesn’t have any formal academic qualifications. You can start your ACCA journey at the Diploma in Accounting and
Business. You can then transfer to the ACCA Qualification and start at F4 of the Fundamentals level.

Experience
Becoming a professional accountant isn’t just about sitting exams. That’s only part of it. Equally important is getting relevant, supervised
practical experience. It demonstrates to employers that you have proven experience and practical skills relevant to the role and can be relied
on to get the job done. You can complete your work experience before, at the same time, or after completing the exams. But at the same
time is best. It means a quicker journey time to ACCA membership and can really benefit your studies if you can start to apply what you’re
learning to the workplace.

Ethics
Ethics and professionalism are at the heart of everything we do and stand for at ACCA. It doesn’t matter where you start your journey, it’s
important you know what it means to act professionally and ethically. It builds confidence in those who employ your services that you carry
out your duties with trust and integrity. It demonstrates you are professional. That’s why all our students have to take the Foundations in
Professionalism online interactive module to achieve any of the Foundation-level awards and the Diploma in Accounting and Business as
part of the ACCA Qualification, and the Professional Ethics module to achieve the BSc degree in Applied Accounting (awarded by Oxford
Brookes University), Advanced Diploma in Accounting and Business and the ACCA Qualification.
