I have encountered numerous sources/people claiming that, only if i clear FBT, FFA and FMA in FIA route, I will be eligible to jump to the next level, and eventually will. This created a confusing situation for me. Can you guys just guide me towards it? They also had this explanation that ACCA focuses on these 3 exams, as they are also part of the knowledge level.

December 25, 2025 at 12:12 pm #724062I am confused about the title of yor post. However, to move from FIA into the main ACCA Qualification, you need to pass FBT, FMA and FFA (plus the Foundations in Professionalism module if you want the formal Foundation Diploma). These three papers are treated as equivalent to ACCA’s Applied Knowledge exams (BT, MA, FA), so once you pass them you skip the Applied Knowledge level and start directly at Applied Skills.

December 26, 2025 at 2:32 am #724065Please see the following from ACCA website-
“Transferring to the ACCA Qualification after Foundation level
Foundations in Accountancy Qualification students who registered from the following dates will automatically opt-in to transfer to the ACCA Qualification upon completion of the Diploma in Accounting and Business (RQF Level 4)*:June 2017 – UK and China students
December 2017 – all other students
Students not wishing to continue onto the ACCA Qualification can opt out of auto-transfer via myACCA, or alternatively students can choose when they wish to transfer, upon completion of either:the Diploma in Accounting and Business (RQF Level 4)
all nine Foundation in Accountancy exams
* Pakistan and Bangladesh students will be eligible to transfer upon completion of the Foundation Diploma exams.”December 26, 2025 at 2:33 am #724066Hope this helps.
