ACCA-CGA/CPA Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA)

ACCA says I'm not eligible for OBU anymore. Are they any alternative to get any acceptable qualification to get a relevant job.

hi did you ever get any information on this?

 

[Aarti123]

One important aspect to note since all ACCA does not hold university degree

I do not have a university degree and I qualified as an ACCA member after July 31, 1998. What do I need to do to become a CPA, CGA?
ACCA members who gained membership to ACCA after July 31, 1998 are required to hold a university degree recognized by the CPA profession.

hi, did you ever get information on this? i also do not have a degree but am a member of ACCA and would like to be CPA

If you dont have any uni degree then i believe there is a MEP programme, basically meaning that you need to give some exams before getting CPA. You will be not automatically given CPA status based on ACCA membership only.

I think B.com from KU would be difficult to be accepted as Bachelors. You can contact CPABC and see what they reply. You might have to have your B.Com degree evaluated from WES first if they accept. Best way is to provide them OBU.

Hi Aarti,

Do you have any update on this? I am in the same situation as you, only have ACCA. Were you able to find out if being an ACCA member gets you exemptions from CPA?

Hi Aarti,

hi, yes, if you have a degree with ACCA you can go through the MRA Pathway
if not, then you are only exempted from CPA Prep cpurses and still have to do about 5 CPA courses.
Basically, it sucks cuz we have to do over CPA

Damn. Not much we can do but to start it from scratch I guess.

Did you try to get the Advanced Diploma and ACCA Membership certificates evaluated separately through WES?

 

[Aarti123]

no i got the whole ACCA qualification evaluated
