ACCA Administrative Review

VIVA

ACCA Administrative Review explained for students who had a marginal fail, scored 48-49 marks.

If you are unhappy with your exam result, then you can ask the ACCA for an administrative review.

This review will NOT mean that your exam is remarked.

The ACCA will only check that the marks have been added up and recorded correctly.

They will also tell you whether each question passed or failed, but they will NOT tell you the marks for each question.

The fee for ACCA administrative review is £52
(This includes FIA, ACCA and Dip IFR exams)

If you would like to request an administrative review you can now submit your request using our online service at myACCA. Alternatively, you can complete the form (see ‘Related documents’) and submit to:

Here is the official ACCA administrative review page on ACCA Global website


Please read the most recent post on the ACCA forums where students who took the administrative review shared their comments >>

    acca is not as truthful and genuire as their ethics espouse. how can a review be re- aggregation of marks. the managers of the acca only think of themselves to detriment of the poors in society.

    The review is out of sense because the checking is made by those who mark the answers of students like self-review which, in idea, should be avoided by ACCA but factually is important part of malpractice in ACCA

    Thanks guys, was thinking of getting one but it really makes no sense, to have people thinking that their marking scheme is excellent they will not change anything. Will take next attempt.

    I would agree that no student should pay for an administrative review. My only question (which I doubt if anyone can answer) is who actually carries out the review? Is it ACCA or an independent third party? If ACCA carry out this review then surely this is a “self review threat”?

      If ACCA thinks there is a need for review they should do it before the results are released instead of this money making no job done business of Review.

    ACCA has become a fundraising accountancy body. Marks to award candidates are just decided. Their focus is making more money from students. The best thing ACCA can do is to send back the script to a complaining candidate so that he/she can cross check with the suggested answers and see where the shortfalls are other than the so called Administrative Reviews.

    What is the procedure for an administrative review do you just fill the form and post it to the address given or can you email it? and do they send you a written notification that the received the form by email? and does the feedback you get is it by an email or is it given to you by post?

    thanks in advance

    “They will also tell you whether each question passed or failed”
    What does it mean,is it that getting more than half the marks is a pass?

    This admin review is simply a waste of money. Whether your mark is 45 or 49 they will NOT change it. Might as well use that money to resit the paper.

    ssame here i have requested for a remark before and i think even when you deserve at least a 50 out of pride and maintaining their reputation they will still fail you, though i feel its really unfair. and they will send your results way late so you cannot make 2nd appeal. why not mark the paper together with me online..
