Fees

When you readmit you will need to pay a readmission fee together with any fees that were outstanding when you left the register.

If you have no outstanding fees, then you only need to pay the readmission fee.

Matters Triggering Bye-Law 8

If you have been removed from the ACCA register due to disciplinary actions, bankruptcy, or strict liability issues, readmission will require you to complete the relevant readmission form. Your application for readmission will be reviewed by the Admission & Licensing Committee.

Bye-Law 8 outlines specific situations that could lead to disciplinary proceedings against you. These include:

• Professional misconduct
• Misconduct during exams
• Criminal convictions or breaches of ACCA regulations, including actions that could harm your reputation, the reputation of ACCA, or the wider accountancy profession.

If any of these circumstances apply to you—for instance, if you have received a criminal conviction, caution, or been disciplined by another professional or regulatory body—you must disclose this information to ACCA before readmitting. Your case may be referred to the Admission & Licensing Committee for a review as part of the readmission process.
