The Corporate and Business Law Lesotho variant (LW LSO) was withdrawn following the June 2026 exam session
What this means for you
There was no regulatory requirement to complete the Lesotho variant of the exam, so these changes do not impact recognition of the ACCA Qualification in any way.
If you were intending on taking the LW LSO exam, we recommend you now take the Global (GLO) variant of the exam. The LW GLO exam is available on-demand, all year round.
If you have already passed the LW LSO exam, there is no change to the recognition of your pass.
