Ethics Module
All students now have to complete an online Ethics module provided by ACCA. This is ideally completed whilst studying paper P1 Governance Ethics and Risk in the Essentials Module.
Experience
You must have 3 years relevant practical experience, which can be obtained before, during or after your exams. This is known as the Practical Experience Requirement (PER). You will be asked to provide ACCA with an online annual return to show the experience you have achieved during the preceding year, which has to be authorised by a workplace mentor.
