    I did the UK version on tax and law, but for P2 and P7 I did the international variant.

    Now my local accounting body says I can use my ACCA to get a local certification, but all ACCA variants have to be UK.

    Is there a way to convert the P2/P7 from INT to UK or do a small exam on the differences?

    The only other option would be to redo the whole exams with UK variant, but that is a lot of extra work.

    Hi,

    In regards to your query below are some links from the ACCA website that would be of your help (if you viewing this using your phone you may need to scroll down to last 4 questions)

    https://www.accaglobal.com/an/en/help/exemptions.html#If-I-want-to-work-in-audit,-can-I-apply-for-exemptions-and-subsequently-apply-for-an-ACCA-practising-certificate-and-audit-qualification-for-the-UK-or-Ireland?

    https://www.accaglobal.com/an/en/help/exemptions.html#Do-I-need-to-pass-any-specific-exams-to-be-eligible-for-a-UK-or-Irish-Practising-Certificate-and-Audit-Qualification?

    https://www.accaglobal.com/an/en/help/exemptions.html#I-have-been-awarded-exemptions-from-all-exams-in-Applied-Knowledge-and-Applied-Skills-of-the-syllabus.-How-does-this-affect-my-eligibility-for-a-UK-or-Irish-Practising-Certificate-and-Audit-Qualification?

    So as far as I know, unfortunately you “cannot” convert your variants.

    And I regret to say this, yes the only other option left for you is to redo those exams because if you don’t come up to the eligibility requirements you will not be awarded the certificate / qualification. Will recommend you to contact ACCA concerning this.

    But you can surely do one thing, you can contact your local accounting body and ask them about whether there are other ways to come up to the requirements… Hopefully they may give you a solution.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks a lot for your detailed answer.

    I will contact both ACCA and the local accounting body.
