IFAC body route
Some ACCA members are also members of another professional accountancy body and may be required to complete CPD through their other membership body's programme.
ACCA Realise is sufficiently flexible to allow you to choose to follow your other body's CPD programme instead of ACCA Realise, as long as:
- you are a full member of another professional accountancy body
- your other member body is a member of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC)
- your other body's CPD policy fully meets the CPD Standard (IES 7) released by IFAC.
If you can meet these three conditions, you are eligible to follow the IFAC body route and, if doing so, can indicate this when making your annual CPD return to ACCA.
