ACCA Ethics & Professional Skills Module

Unit 8 Peer Assessment Too Much Time To Be Completed

NNawwar4y ago
Hi, I have submitted my presentation last week for review. The module requested me to review 5 peers, and have done it. However, I have been waiting now for about a week for my presentation to be reviewed, and still, the module is locked, and can't access the other two units. I have tried to contact ACCA, but no answers from their side. How long does it take for my presentation to be reviewed? What if there was no one to review it? I believe this step is unnecessary for ACCA to add as it is a waste of time. there should be a limited time for each presentation to be finalized. Any solution?

Thank you for sharing. I believe I am trying to do that. I just want to know if there is any other solution I can approach other than the one in the link you shared.

I will report back to ACCA regarding the delay/whether remaining modules can be unlocked pending review - however, it is highly unlikely that there will be in any change to the process in a time frame that will be of any help to you. Unless you have passed all your strategic professional exams perhaps you could divert your attention to study while waiting on further developments in the progress of the peer review.

I passed all strategic professional exams, completed PER, and EPSM is standing in the way of getting the ACCA membership. I believe this is taking longer than it has to be. The second week now and still the EPSM is locked. I contacted ACCA and got a reply to allow 3-5 days, while I completed 12 days waiting.

Hi Nawwar, was your progress eventually unlocked? How long did it take? I am also currently awaiting my presentation to be assessed, it has only been 3 days, however I am anxious to get the other units finalised. I may hold off for a another few days before emailing ACCA. Kevin

Apologies for the delay in responding further advice on this post (I have just returned from a holiday). The first thing to note is that the Peer Review process won't stand in the way of membership if EPSM is completed, as recommended and envisaged by ACCA, before sitting Strategic Professional Exams. Instead of or as well as contacting ACCA through https://forms.accaglobal.com/contact-us, it has been suggested to me that contacting via Twitter using @ACCAOfficial or @ACCA_UK may trigger a response.

Hi Kim, many thanks for your help. Thankfully I got my review back the very next day after my post above (4 day wait). I have now finished the module.
