dear all,
i was wondering if anyone knows whether working as a compliance officer for an investment firm ( Forex) counts a relevant finace role as I have been working for nearly 3 years now and wondering if I can claim it 100%.i have seen it listed on the ACCA competency framework but not sure if i Understood it properly.
anyone knows the answer?
Ideally, “a relevant role” means that you have a job where the majority of your time is spent on activities and tasks that are accounting, finance, audit and assurance related, or in other related technical areas such as taxation, insolvency and forensics. (Copied from ACCA website)
But it is arguable.
Meanwhile, in addition to 36 months experience in a relevant role, you will also need to achieve the 5 essentials objectives PLUS 4 (out of 15) technical objectives in order to apply for ACCA membership. It is questionable that a compliance role will achieve 4 objectives in the technical section. You may want to double check the descriptions of the objectives from the link below.
