Transferring from CAT to ACCA
THE JOURNEY STARTS NOW
The ACCA Qualification is your passport to reaching the highest levels in any organisation – and as a CAT graduate you have the knowledge, skills and practical experience to get off to a flying start:
On completing all of your CAT exams, and providing that you are 17 years or over, you will automatically be transferred onto the ACCA Qualification and be awarded exemptions from the Part 1 papers 1.1–1.3 of the current syllabus (examined up until June 2007) or Papers F1–F3 on the new syllabus (examined from December 2007), unless you indicated on your registration form that you did not wish this transfer to be effected.
Please note this is irrespective of whether you have at that time fulfilled the practical experience requirement. On transferring, you will not be charged an additional registration fee, nor will you be charged for the exemptions awarded from Papers 1.1–1.3 or F1–F3.
Once transferred to the ACCA Qualification register, you will be subject to the Bye Laws, rules and regulations applicable to ACCA Qualification students, details of which will be sent to you on transfer.
If you are resident in a country where ACCA operates a Joint Scheme for the ACCA Qualification with a local professional body, you will also be transferred automatically onto the scheme currently in operation, and awarded the appropriate exemptions from the ACCA Qualification.
If you did not indicate at the time of registration that you wished an automatic transfer to the ACCA Qualification and you now wish to opt for this, please put your request in writing to the Admissions Department before you sit your final exams. If you do not opt for the automatic transfer, you will be required to submit a registration form for the ACCA Qualification and pay the relevant registration and exemption fees.
