Accountancy Forum

I've heard that ACCA can be completed in 10 years and one has the option to attempt maximum four exams in every six month period. I just want to know that whether one can skip ACCA exams during a year, altogether? For instance a person who started his/her ACCA in 2009 and has successfully passed 6 of the 14 exams up till now (August 2010). If that person does not want to give any exam in 2011 and wants to resume his/her ACCA studies in 2012, is this option available?? If its available then is there a specific fee charged, for not giving any exams during a particular year?

It is completely up to you that how many exams you want to take(max 4). If you don't want to appear for any, its your choice. You can take a gap of three years and no one would question you. However, you have to complete the exams within a time span of 10 years. If you are not able to do so and are still left with some papers to pass at the end of those 10 yrs, you will no longer be allowed to pursue ACCA.
