Dear Fellows:
Introduction:
I am creating this topic to highlight and discuss the problems being faced by many ACCA students associated with Industry/Employer in Finance section while sitting in ACCA Exam in 1st week of exam month
Issue:
ACCA exams normally start in the 1st week of exam months four time in a year and many students including myself facing difficulties to secure short vacations/offs for ACCA exam revision from employers due to month-end financial closing/reporting timelines.
Regards
Recommendations:
ACCA can help/reduce the sufferings of those students by extending the exams dates and starting ACCA Exams in 2nd week of each exam month, it will provide some relief for above-mentioned candidates to secure some days off/vacation for revision with no work pressure and attend exams with peace and concentration.May 5, 2017 at 10:44 am #384932Or, these students could develop better time and project management skills in order to more efficiently use their time. If you have to worry about revision this close to exams it means you haven’t been preparing effectively.
March 9, 2018 at 9:35 pm #441923I totally agree with this.
I am struggling to take time off to study because of monthend reporting deadlines.
I would like to start a petition!
March 10, 2018 at 10:24 am #442028If your employer is putting you through these exams then they will be supportive of the fact that you need to take these exams on the dates given and so you and employer should plan ahead accordingly surely?…..

March 10, 2018 at 3:33 pm #442043And I highly doubt ACCA will look too much in to this as they don’t cater for mainly industry based accountants. CIMA would be a better option for you if you are having problems with the ACCA.
