If you have achieved all three years of your experience with employers that are registered under the ACCA Approved Employer Practising Certificate Development (PCD) stream, then you can take advantage of the exemption from completing the Practising Certificate Experience Forms (PCEF). Instead of completing the PCEF such members must complete an ‘Approved Employer PCER confirmation form’.  

In addition you must submit a PC application form if you intend to practise. There is a fee for obtaining your PC which must be renewed annually. Alternatively you can obtain recognition of your experience via the routes below. Once your experience has been approved by ACCA, you will then be in a position to apply for your PC by completing the PC application form when needed. There is no time limit on this process.  

Further information for non-ACCA members can be obtained from the following page ACCA - Routes to ACCA membership from other accountancy bodies 

The forms differ by jurisdiction – see below.
