Applying for membership
In order for ACCA affiliates to gain admission to full membership, they must demonstrate, on the application form, that they have obtained a minimum of three years of acceptable, supervised, practical experience in an accountancy role (or roles) and have reached the required standard of competence.
Applications for membership are considered throughout the year. It can take several weeks to complete the assessment of a membership application and to verify the accuracy of the statements made therein. Furthermore, applications cannot be approved until a reference is, or references are, received by ACCA. Affiliates will need to provide just one reference in circumstances where the referee can confirm that the affiliate has obtained three years of relevant practical experience under his / her supervision and he / she has been the affiliates supervisor at the affiliates the most recent employer.
No fee need be submitted with the application form. Affiliates will be invoiced for the admission fee (£175 in 2008) and, if it is still outstanding, the annual affiliate subscription (2008 rates are £90 for those who have been affiliates for three years or less, £175 for those who have been affiliates for more than three years) once their admission has been confirmed.
ACCA affiliates should send the completed form, by post, to ACCA, 2 Central Quay, 89 Hyde Park Street, Glasgow, G3 8BW, United Kingdom.
Affiliates with queries about the admissions process should contact members@accaglobal.com.
