Can I do ACCA without a commerce degree?

Yes. A commerce degree is not mandatory for ACCA. Students from non-commerce backgrounds can pursue ACCA if they meet the relevant entry requirements or enter through an appropriate foundation route. If you don't have an accounting background, you may need additional preparation in accounting and finance fundamentals, but that should not stop you from considering ACCA.

Can I do ACCA while studying B.Com?

Yes. Many students pursue ACCA alongside their B.Com. The key is planning your two programmes properly. Understand your university subjects, identify your potential ACCA exemptions and then decide how many ACCA papers you can realistically manage alongside your degree. If planned properly, your B.Com and ACCA studies can complement each other very well.

How many exams are there in ACCA?

Under the current ACCA structure, a student with no exemptions can complete up to 13 examinations: • 3 Applied Knowledge exams • 6 Applied Skills exams • 2 Strategic Professional Essentials • 2 Strategic Professional Options However, students may receive exemptions based on previous qualifications, so not everyone needs to complete all 13 exams. There is also an important transition taking place in the ACCA qualification from 2027, so students registering around this period should follow ACCA's applicable transition guidance.

What are the ACCA Applied Knowledge papers?

The Applied Knowledge level consists of three papers: • Business and Technology (BT) • Management Accounting (MA) • Financial Accounting (FA) These papers establish the fundamentals that you need before moving into the more advanced ACCA subjects. If you're coming from a non-commerce background, I would particularly encourage you to build a strong conceptual foundation at this stage.

What are the ACCA Applied Skills papers?

The current Applied Skills level consists of six papers: • Corporate and Business Law (LW) • Performance Management (PM) • Taxation (TX) • Financial Reporting (FR) • Audit and Assurance (AA) • Financial Management (FM) This is where the qualification becomes significantly more application-oriented. You need to understand concepts and, more importantly, know how to apply them to exam and business scenarios.

What are the ACCA Strategic Professional exams?

Under the current structure, Strategic Professional consists of two Essentials—Strategic Business Reporting (SBR) and Strategic Business Leader (SBL)—along with two Options selected from AFM, APM, ATX and AAA. However, ACCA is transitioning to a redesigned qualification from 2027. The Strategic Professional structure will change as part of that redesign. So, if you're starting or continuing ACCA during this transition period, I recommend checking the specific transition rules that apply to your registration and exam history.

What is the ACCA Ethics and Professional Skills Module?

The Ethics and Professional Skills Module is designed to develop the professional skills that complement your technical ACCA knowledge. It focuses on areas such as ethical judgement, communication, professional behaviour and decision-making. From my perspective, this is an important part of the qualification because being a finance professional isn't only about getting the technical answer right. You also need to know how to communicate your conclusion and make sound professional decisions.

PER stands for Practical Experience Requirement. To become an ACCA member, you need relevant practical experience in addition to completing the applicable examinations and other requirements. Under the current framework, this includes 36 months of relevant experience and completion of the required performance objectives. My advice is to start thinking about PER early. Don't wait until you've finished all your exams to start considering how you're going to build your practical experience.

Can ACCA practical experience be completed while studying?

Yes. You can gain relevant practical experience before, during or after your ACCA examinations, provided it meets ACCA's requirements. In fact, I encourage students to gain relevant experience while studying whenever possible. It allows you to connect your ACCA concepts with actual workplace situations and can make your learning much more meaningful.

How long does ACCA take?

The duration depends entirely on your individual starting point. Your exemptions, number of papers attempted, study hours, exam results and practical experience will all affect the timeline. A graduate with exemptions may complete the examination component faster than someone starting from the beginning. But remember that becoming an ACCA member also involves practical experience and other requirements.

Can ACCA be completed in 1 year?

Some students with significant exemptions may be able to complete their remaining examinations in a relatively short period. But I would be cautious about saying that the entire ACCA qualification can universally be "completed in one year." Your practical experience and other membership requirements also need to be considered. Rather than choosing ACCA purely because of a one-year completion claim, I would recommend building a realistic plan based on your exemptions and career commitments.

ACCA is a professional qualification, so you should expect the exams to require consistent preparation and application of knowledge. The level of difficulty varies from student to student. Your academic background, accounting knowledge, preparation strategy and the number of papers you attempt together will all make a difference. The most important thing is to understand the concepts, practise sufficiently and develop the right exam technique.

What is the ACCA pass rate?

ACCA pass rates vary by paper and examination session, so I don't recommend using one overall figure to judge the qualification. ACCA publishes official pass rates after each examination session. If you're researching a particular paper, look at the pass rate for that paper and the relevant session rather than relying on a general claim about the entire qualification.

How often are ACCA exams held?

Most session-based ACCA exams are held four times a year—in March, June, September and December. Some Applied Knowledge exams may be available as on-demand computer-based exams, depending on the paper and location. Because exam availability and deadlines can change, students should always check the current ACCA timetable before finalising their study plan.

What is the ACCA fee in India?

The total ACCA cost in India depends on your individual exemption profile and the number of examinations you need to take. You should consider the initial registration fee, annual subscription, examination fees, exemption fees where applicable, professional-skills requirements and tuition costs. I always tell students to calculate the complete cost of the qualification, rather than looking only at the coaching fee. ACCA's fees can also change, so the latest official India fee schedule should be checked before registration.

The answer depends on the individual student. The total cost can vary significantly depending on exemptions, examination attempts, annual subscriptions, exemption fees and the tuition provider you choose. Instead of asking whether ACCA is simply "expensive" or "cheap," I would recommend calculating the complete cost of your own ACCA journey and considering the qualification in the context of your long-term career plans.

What jobs can I get after ACCA?

ACCA can support careers across a wide range of accounting and finance functions, including financial reporting, audit, accounting, taxation, management accounting, financial analysis, controllership, advisory and finance roles. But I always tell students that clearing ACCA is not the end of the career journey. Practical experience, communication skills, technology skills and industry knowledge will also influence the roles and opportunities you can move into.

What is the salary after ACCA in India?

There is no fixed salary attached to the ACCA qualification. Your compensation can depend on your role, experience, location, employer, technical skills and whether you are an ACCA student, affiliate or member. I would be very careful about websites or institutes promising a particular salary simply because you've completed ACCA. The qualification can strengthen your professional profile and open relevant opportunities, but your actual salary will depend on the value you build through your skills and experience.

Can ACCA get me into Big 4 firms?

ACCA is relevant to many roles within large professional-services firms, including accounting, audit, financial reporting and advisory. However, ACCA itself is not a guarantee of a Big Four job. Your academic performance, technical skills, relevant experience, communication, interview performance and the requirements of the particular vacancy will all play a role.

Can ACCA help me work abroad?

Yes. ACCA has an international orientation and can be relevant to accounting and finance careers across many countries. However, there is an important difference between having an internationally recognised qualification and automatically being eligible to work in another country. You also need to consider immigration and work-authorisation requirements, local regulations, employer requirements and any licensing rules applicable to the particular role.

ACCA vs CA — what is the difference?

Indian CA and ACCA are both professional accountancy qualifications, but they have different structures and regulatory contexts. CA, awarded by ICAI, is closely aligned with the Indian accounting, audit, taxation, legal and regulatory environment. ACCA is an internationally oriented professional accountancy qualification with its own global examination, ethics and practical-experience framework. So when students ask me which one they should choose, I first ask them about their career objective and target geography rather than treating one qualification as universally better.

ACCA vs CPA — what is the difference?

The US CPA is a US accounting and licensure pathway administered through individual state boards and focused on the applicable US accounting, audit, taxation and regulatory environment. ACCA is an internationally oriented professional accountancy qualification with its own examination, ethics and practical-experience framework. If your career target is the US accounting and regulatory environment, you need to understand the CPA pathway and state-specific requirements. ACCA follows a different international pathway.

ACCA vs CMA — what is the difference?

ACCA provides broad coverage across accounting, financial reporting, audit, taxation, financial management and strategic finance. The US CMA is a two-part certification with greater emphasis on management accounting, financial planning, performance management and strategic financial management. So I would advise students to start with the career role they want and then determine which qualification aligns with that direction.

ACCA vs CIA — what is the difference?

ACCA is a broad professional accountancy qualification, while CIA is a specialist certification focused on internal audit, governance, risk and controls. If you want broad exposure across accounting and finance, ACCA provides that wider coverage. If you want to specialise specifically in internal audit and controls, CIA has a much more focused curriculum. For certain professionals, they can also complement each other rather than being alternatives.

Can ACCA students get exemptions?

Yes, exemptions from ACCA exams can be available based on your previous academic or professional qualifications. However, exemptions are not automatically awarded simply because you are pursuing another qualification. ACCA assesses your previous studies against its exemption rules. My advice is to check your individual exemption position through ACCA's official Exemptions Calculator before planning your ACCA journey.

Can CA students get ACCA exemptions?

Yes, CA candidates and qualified CA professionals may be eligible for ACCA exemptions, depending on the qualification or stage of qualification completed and ACCA's applicable rules. I would not recommend assuming a fixed number of exemptions simply because you are pursuing CA. Your exact exemption profile should be confirmed through ACCA's official assessment before you plan your papers.

Can US CPA holders get ACCA exemptions?

Potentially, yes, depending on the specific CPA qualification you hold and ACCA's current exemption rules. However, holding another professional qualification does not automatically guarantee exemptions from a fixed number of ACCA papers. If you're already a CPA and considering ACCA, I would first get your individual exemption assessment. Once you know exactly which papers you need, you can make a much more informed decision about the time and investment involved.

Why choose Simandhar for ACCA?

At Simandhar, our focus is on helping students build a professional career—not simply helping them complete an examination. For ACCA, that means providing structured preparation, experienced faculty, exam-focused learning, study resources, question practice and student support throughout the qualification journey. At the same time, I believe students should make an informed decision before enrolling with any institute. Look at the faculty, teaching methodology, study material, doubt support, mock exams, fees and career support. If those elements align with your learning style and career goals, that's when a learning partner can genuinely add value.

Builds your understanding of how organisations are structured, led, and managed, and how technology is reshaping the modern business environment — the foundation for everything else in the ACCA syllabus.

It's a mandatory part of the ACCA qualification and strengthens your readiness for real workplace situations.

Required

Practical Experience Requirement (PER)

To qualify as an ACCA member, you'll also need 36 months of relevant, supervised work experience mapped against ACCA's official performance objectives. If you don't yet have accounting experience, Simandhar students can fulfil this through a structured internship route aligned with ACCA's requirements.
