General ACCAApplying for ACCA Membership

Mate, what does it mean "signed PER"? Could you please provide step-by-step process you done? Thanks in advance!

Received confirmation email of my acceptance as qualified member yesterday :)

Congrats ezza2203 on ur membership, i am still waiting forgot to have my PER signed off by one work place mentor. How long did they take after u applied or got the invitation email?? Cant wait to be a member!!!

Applied for it only to be told my PER was not signed off. Spent that particular day doing the challenge questions and asked 2 of my previous bosses to sign it off online instantly :) . Took about another week after re-submitting to receiving the acceptance email :)

Good work ezza, your bosses must be very efficient. So are you now using your letters? Or you waiting till you get your certificate?

Not used any of my letters yet apart from my CV. I have yet to pay the fee once they invoice me. My membership status will be awarded in 12 working days so still a few days left. Then the certificate needs to be sealed in Mid March before allowing 6 weeks for the certificate to arrive. I wonder if the certificate is being sent from another planet, 6 weeks is a rather long time LOL. Have you sorted yours yet?

If any of you got paper sign-off, can you tell me if all my ex-employers have to sign on it or only the place where I achieved the PO. In my case I worked at 3 different employers and all POs were achieved at the first place of work. The employer has agreed to do a paper sign-off on all objectives. Do I still need to get signatures of the other two employers?

Hey Ria, I do think that technically you should be having the person sign it off who knows that you have done the work. If u were to ever have an audit on your PER it would cause problems for you I think. Is there no way u could transfer your information to the online one and get your old employers to sign it off that way? I got my old employers to sign stuff off that I had done there. I have received my email sqying my application for membership has been accepted too. Looking forward to receiving my certificate.

i had the same problem bcoz i have not done my performance objectives as well . i did them in one day and one of my mentors has signed off his part, now waiting for the other one and he is taking his sweet time hopefully by end of this week he will have done it. I want this out of my way!!!

hi everyone and congratulations to ezza for her successful transfer....i submitted signed off PER through ONLine MYEXPERIENCE portal, ethics module and application for membership submitted on March 5th, 2013.. how long it will take to get it approved and get the certificate.?

Hey guys! Congrates on your achievement! I am in the process of completing mine this year as well! My boss keeps on asking what papers the company have to submit from his end for my PER! And what information he will be asked? Any ideas? Appreciating

Just got my acceptance email, i am over the moon!!!!

hey guys do they need us to pay the admission fee before they send the certificate or we can pay later???

The admission fee is due about one month. I believed they will still send you the certificate

Hi ezza2203, I also received an email from ACCA that my certificate will be sealed in Mid March. I guess our certificates will be sealed around the same time. I am currently residing in Singapore and as such 6 weeks to deliver is a reasonable period. Do check online payment as I have paid the 205 pounds admission fee. Your status in MyACCA will show from Affiliate to Graduate pending member Congrats and best wishes in your future endeavours

When did you guys apply and when was the confirmation received...total duration??

Isn't the confirmation mail subject to ACCA admission committee meeting ??

pkacca, i guess the admission committee meeting is just to endorse the acceptance because our accounts have already been charged the admission fees. Good Luck!!!!

First, you will receive an invitation to apply for membership from ACCA. You have to reply Yes to transfer to ACCA''s registers of members. Subsequently, there will be a reply email stating that your membership application is complete (i.e. ACCA has received all relevant information) and the certificate will be sealed at the next meeting of ACCA Council which is scheduled to take place on Mar13. The duration inbetween these emails are within a week.

I have a question.. Do you have to complete PO's to become member or both PO and 36 months of relevant experience?

Yes you need to complete both the POs, i.e. signed by the mentor and have 36 months of relevant experience. Usually, the 36 months are relative easy to clock as when you update the work place details according to your period of work, it will automatically calculate the number of years clocked/recorded. However, the POs you need the mentor to sign off.

Hi ezza, I also received an email from ACCA that my certificate will be sealed in Mid March. Do check on your online payment as I have paid the 205 pounds admission fee. That means your certificate and mine are sealed around the same time.

The admission fee due is roughly one month. I believed they will still send you the certificate

Hi. if you login, you should be a member by now. I just got my membership updated via MyACCA.

Wow this is great, MEMBER at last. Congrats guys we deserve this!!!! So is our member no still the student nos we had???

Yes the member number is still the student number - If you login to MyACCA there are a few stages of titles besides the member number 1.) Member no xxxxxxx - Student (If one has not passed the exams) 2.) Member no xxxxxxx - Affiliate (If one has passed all the exams and are pending either the completion and signing off of the Performance Objectives or passing the professional ethics module or waiting for them to invite you to membership. 3.) Member no xxxxxxx - Graduate pending member (If one has applied for membership and ACCA has received all the relevant documents and has sent a notification that your membership application has been received. 4.) Member no xxxxxxx - Member (certificate is sealed. another 6 weeks ACCA will deliver the full membership certificate) As you can see, stages of the title changes but the number will not.

Isn't the certificate only issued once the ACCA Council session is held which I have been told is now at least two months away...wouldn't it take more than 6 weeks to get the certificate now?

The ACCA Council Session was held 16 March 2013 (which was yesterday). According to the email by ACCA, the certificate takes 6 weeks to deliver. For my case, when I login to MyACCA, my status has been changed to member. The only wait for me is the certificate so that it can be made into a plaque.

pkacca By the way, I submitted my application before Mar 2013 and the email states the ACCA Council Session is on 16 March 2013 in which my certificate will be sealed. Maybe yours is the next ACCA Council Session as you have mentioned that you have only submitted on the 5th March 2013.

When did you get ur membership email...
