Are there any exemptions available for ACCA based on previous qualifications?

Yes, ACCA offers exemptions based on previous qualifications. If you hold a relevant degree or professional qualification, you may be exempt from certain ACCA papers. For example, if you have a degree in accounting or finance, you might receive exemptions from some of the ACCA Applied Knowledge and Applied Skills exams. Similarly, professional qualifications from recognized bodies such as CPA, CA, or CIMA may also grant exemptions. The exact number of exemptions and the papers from which you are exempt will depend on the specifics of your previous qualifications and their alignment with ACCA’s syllabus. It’s advisable to review the ACCA exemption policy and consult with ACCA or an accredited learning provider to understand how your prior qualifications might impact your ACCA journey.
