ACCA offers a special exemptions scheme for AAT passed finalists

The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) Sri Lanka, a member of the fastest growing accountancy body in the world, has initiated a special scheme to offer exemptions to AAT passed finalists.

Under this exemption scheme, AAT passed finalists will be able to complete the ACCA qualification in a much shorter period of time and be able to claim exemptions upto the first 3 papers of ACCA.

The total exemption Fee waived off will amount to £ 216. In addition to the exemption fee waiver, £ 59 will also be waived off from the Initial Registration Fee. Hence passed finalists will only have to pay £ 20 as an Initial Registration Fee.

Obtaining the ACCA qualification coupled with the AAT qualification will be a powerful combination of qualifications that will helpadd more value to their portfolio and put them in high demand with employers.

In addition, upon gaining the ACCA qualification they will also be able to utilize the further benefits offered through ACCA by having the opportunity to study for the prestigious BSc (Hons) Degree in Applied Accounting, from Oxford Brookes University, UK. This benefit is available exclusively to ACCA students who wish to obtain a degree while progressing with the ACCA Qualification.

Nilusha Ranasinghe, Head of ACCA Sri Lanka said “Linking education with the business needs is a crucial step which needs to remain at the forefront to motivate students and enhance their leadership skills. Our aim is to aspire to transform millions of youngsters in the country into educated global citizens. At ACCA, we have always believed in offering our local students the best opportunities to enhance their talents and by offering incentive schemes such as the registration fee and subscription fee waivers. By these initiatives weare aiming at making the ACCA Qualification more affordable and accessible to the local market. Therefore we are confident that this exemption scheme will serve as the gateway for better options and opportunities for students in pursing their selected professions in the fields of finance and accountancy. We at ACCA Sri Lanka will continue to work closely with other accountancy professions in the country to formalize our relationship, to share views and to work towards the development of the accountancy profession through mutual cooperation.”
