Paper version

Philip - please note that tutors voluntarily answer points to these forums - I check posts every working day and sometimes at weekends - but cannot answer posts immediately. You will find the answer to your question in an FAQs section on ACCA's www https://www.accaglobal.com/my/en/member/sectors/smp/practising-certificates-and-licences/faqs.html ("Do I need to pass any specific exams to be eligible for a practising certificate and audit qualification?" The answer is you would need to do UK version. However, there are other factors you can consider - you don't need a practising certificate unless, for example, you're a partner in a firm or setting up your own practice (see the link to "Do I need a practising certificate?" on the page above). You could sit INT now and take UK post-qualification. See the contents of our notes for the main difference in syllabus - Chapter 31 is INT only and Chapter 32 is UK only - the remainder is relevant to both versions.
