Hi guys, I need some advice regarding ACCA PER.
1) I just completed all the papers recently. Is there a time limit where I must complete my PER or else I must re-sit for all the papers?
2) I am working in a company where none of my supervisors or managers are qualified to sign off my performance objectives. However, I was told that they are able to help me sign off my time (out of the 36 months required). I am confused as I always thought that the time and performance objectives are linked together.
First of all, how do I get my supervisor to sign off for ONLY my time?
Next, for instance my 36 months of TIME has already been signed off. So for my next job, how long must I work to get my supervisor to sign off my performance objectives?
1) No, once you reach Affiliate status you are not subject to the time limit.
2) The performance objectives and time are not linked at all. You claim these separately on the tool. If you log in to the tool it is fairly self explanatory.
There is no minimum time required to get an objective signed off. Once you and your supervisor are happy you have met all the requirements for the objective, it can be signed off. It would be perfectly possible to complete all the objectives within a few weeks or months I think.
Hi Chris, thanks for your reply. However, I still have some doubts, hope you can help me with them.
1) So is it true that either my supervisor or manager (both are non-qualified accountants) are able to sign off my time? Are there any specific requirements to sign off my time?
2)In my company, the finance and administration are merged into one department (to save cost I think). Hence the title of my current position is “finance and admin staff”. Despite the name of my position, I mostly do accounting work. However, I am afraid that the name of my position will affect me when I claim for the time. Does it in anyway affect me?
Yes both can sign off your time. The only requirement is that they personally know that you have worked at the company in the role you say for the period of time you say. You must specify how many hours per week you work and what % of your time is spent on accounting tasks. You can only claim for the proportion of time in which you do accounting tasks, if your role involves non-accounting work. For example, if your role is 80% accounting and you claim 10 months of time, the system will count that as 8 months.
I suggest logging onto the experience recording system and exploring it if you haven’t already, you will see how it works.
