The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) is a globally recognised professional accounting qualification that equips individuals with comprehensive financial expertise. The certification covers accounting, auditing, taxation, and business management skills, making ACCA holders highly sought after by employers across Botswana and internationally. This prestigious credential offers diverse career opportunities in virtually every business sector.
There is no limit to how many times you can attempt an ACCA exam. You can retake any failed paper during future exam sessions if you don't pass on your first try. However, remember that ACCA has a seven-year time limit for completing all Applied Skills and Strategic Professional exams. Hamzah Academy's comprehensive support system significantly improves your chances of passing exams on your first attempt.
Yes, the BSc (Hons) in Applied Accounting from Oxford Brookes University obtained through the ACCA program is internationally recognized and respected. This degree is fully accredited and holds the same value as any traditional on-campus degree from Oxford Brookes University. In Botswana, employers recognize this qualification as a legitimate bachelor's degree, offering ACCA students an excellent opportunity to simultaneously earn professional and academic credentials. Hamzah Academy provides guidance on fulfilling the Research and Analysis Project requirements to obtain this valuable degree.
To cancel an ACCA exam, log into your myacca account, navigate to the "Exam Entry" section, and select the option to withdraw from your registered exam. You must cancel before the standard entry deadline to receive a refund, though a small administrative fee may apply. Only partial refunds are possible after the standard deadline but before the late entry deadline. Hamzah Academy advisors can assist Botswana students with this process and help determine the best strategy for rescheduling their exam preparation.
If you don't pay your ACCA annual subscription, your ACCA membership will be suspended. During suspension, you'll lose access to member benefits, cannot use the ACCA designation, and your CPD records may not be recognized. Additionally, you won't be able to register for exams or receive exam results. You'll need to pay all outstanding fees plus a reinstatement charge to reinstate your membership. Hamzah Academy advises all students to maintain their subscriptions to avoid interruptions in their ACCA journey.
You can attempt up to 8 ACCA papers in a year, as ACCA conducts four exam sessions annually (March, June, September, and December), allowing candidates to sit for a maximum of 4 papers per session. However, most students typically take 2-3 papers per session based on their study capacity and work commitments. At Hamzah Academy, we help Botswana students create optimized study plans to balance exam progress with thorough preparation for each paper.
ACCA and CIMA present different challenges rather than one being definitively harder than the other. ACCA offers broader financial accounting knowledge, emphasizing auditing and taxation, while CIMA focuses more on management accounting and business strategy. Your background and career goals matter most when determining difficulty. Many Botswana professionals find that Hamzah Academy's specialized ACCA support makes the qualification process more manageable, regardless of the comparative challenge.
Completing ACCA in 2 years requires strategic planning and dedicated effort. Start by maximising available exemptions based on prior qualifications. Create a rigorous study schedule, tackling 6-7 exams per year across the four exam sessions. Combine self-paced learning with Hamzah Academy's live classes for efficient knowledge acquisition. Focus on consistent daily study rather than cramming for information. Utilise our WhatsApp tutor support for immediate clarification of difficult concepts. With Hamzah Academy's comprehensive resources and structured guidance, motivated students from Botswana can achieve this ambitious timeline while maintaining strong pass rates.
