What do you need help with?

We know that sometimes payments can be declined, and this can cause some concern.

Here are common reasons why and what can be done to resolve:

Check you have sufficient funds in the account you are making payments from
If you are paying from outside of the UK, tell your bank or card provider to allow this to be processed.
Make sure you enter the correct details.
Using a card in someone else’s name may not be approved by the bank.
Is the card you are using still valid?
Is it a new card and has it been activated?
Have you approved the payment via your banking app?
Has your card been reported lost or stolen?
Are you trying to use your card in another country other than the one it was issued?
If you have recent moved country, have you informed your bank or card provider of this change?

It is recommended that all payments are made directly to ACCA. However, if you choose to use a payment broken, please ensure you use one that is reputable and trusted. This will help protect your transactions and ensure the security of your financial information.

If you have missed the payment deadline, you’re at risk of being removed from our register because you have not renewed your annual subscription or paid your outstanding balance.

But it’s not too late to continue your ACCA journey. Just pay your outstanding fees as soon as possible.

You can pay your outstanding balance in instalments to make things more manageable. We ask that the full balance, including any other outstanding fees, is paid.

To find out your current outstanding balance:

Log into myACCA using your username (ACCA ID) and password
Select 'Fees and Transactions', then use the 'View now' option
You'll see all outstanding fees on your account

To make a part-payment:

Log into myACCA using your username and password
Select 'Fees and Transactions', then use the 'View now' option
You'll see all outstanding fees on your account
Tick the box next to the fees to be partially paid and use the red 'Pay' button at the top of the account summary page
Enter a 'Payment amount', overwriting the amount in the box with the amount you are going to pay
Select 'Recalculate' to update the balance due
Select 'Pay' to go to the payment screen
Select your preferred payment method
Follow the instructions to complete your payment

If you choose to select all outstanding transactions, please note the amount paid will automatically be allocated to the oldest invoice on your account.

We can only accept part payments for fees that have already been invoiced to your ACCA account.

If you do not make full payment by the deadline, you’ll have to a pay a re-registration fee plus any outstanding fees if you're removed and want to re-register.

Choose a Practical experience topic:

Students and affiliates who work for an ACCA Approved Employer can log their time and objectives gained within a relevant role by completing the Approved Employer PER Confirmation form, available in our Practical experience - Approved Employers section

Once complete, use this Contact Us option, press yes to send us a message and fill in the information required and upload your PER Confirmation form. We will then update your My Experience record. Please make sure any signatures are either digital or handwritten, and not typed. We cannot accept any typed signatures.

Please retain the original form for your records.

It is at the employer's discretion if all or some of the objectives are eligible to be signed off.

For more information on PER objectives, visit our Choosing your objectives section

Your Practical Experience Supervisor (PES) should be someone within your organisation who is either a member of an IFAC body or a qualified accountant (or auditor) recognised by law in your country and who knows your work.

For your performance objectives, each separate objective must have an individual signature and date that it was achieved. We cannot accept one signature for multiple objectives.

Please remember to complete all fields that require information ACCA ID, name, date of birth, email address.

Please note your name, date of birth, email address must match what is on your myACCA account. If you require support to update any of your information, choose ‘Account access / management’ and then ‘Change my personal details’ on this form and one of the team will support your request.

We require all of these to fully process your Approved Employer PER form.

You'll recording your PER progress online using My Experience which you can access through MyACCA.

Recording time in a relevant role

You'll need to record details of your employer and your role, and the PER time will calculate your time in a relevant role. As a minimum you'll enter details of your job title, start date, average hours per week and how relevant your role is to allow your time to be calculated. If it's a current role leave the end date blank, and the time will accrue automatically.

Claiming your time

You only need to claim time when you leave a role or when you reach 36 months overall experience - we'll remind you to do this. If your circumstances stay the same, then you don’t need to send regular time claims to your supervisor.

Leaving your role?

To claim time when you’re leaving a role you need to update your role and then send your time to your supervisor for sign off. You can do this by following these steps:

Step one - update your role:

Go to the employment section
Select the role you want to update
Select 'Edit this role'
Enter your end date
Select 'Save and finish'
Make sure you have a supervisor linked to the role

Step two - claim time:

Select 'Claim time'
Locate the role you want to claim time for on the left-hand side of the screen
Select 'Claim this time' to send it to your supervisor

How do I record experience if I'm on career break?

As your PER is based on the time you’re gaining relevant work experience - if you're taking an extended break from work but will be returning at some point in the future (for example maternity leave, long-term illness, taking time off to care for a relative), you should add an end date to you role. You can then add a new role - with a new start date - when you start working again.

Completed 36 months’ experience?

Once you reach 36 months’ experience in your role, you should send the time to your supervisor to review and sign off.

If you have any questions relating to submitting your time you can use our 'Ask ACCA' chat option to connect with our team.

The performance objectives are made up of a description, elements which describe the skills and experience you must demonstrate and a statement. The statement allows you to summarise and reflect on your work activity, so that your supervisor can evaluate whether you have achieved the standard required for the performance objective you are trying to achieve. You will need to claim five elements and complete a 200–500-word statement for each performance objective.

You can claim elements individually as soon as you achieve them, you do not have to wait until you are ready to submit the whole objective.

When writing your statement:

Be concise
Avoid using jargon or abbreviations, unless they are explained.
Provide evidence and examples to help illustrate your statement.
Avoid repeating information or referring to other statements.

Remember that your experience is unique, and your statement should be unique too.

You should consider the following when writing you statements:

Keep your answers short, but relevant. Use a minimum of between 200 and 500 words. As a guide, someone who doesn't know your work should be able to read your statements and fully understand and appreciate the work you've completed.
Check back against the description of the performance objective. Have you met all the outcomes and shown that you have conducted yourself in an appropriate manner?
Provide one or two examples of activities you have done to meet the elements to illustrate your statement.
Your practical experience supervisor should obtain value from your statements, as these should provide them with a useful reminder about your workplace achievement and contribution.
