ICAEW completes transition to new ACA

The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) has announced the successful completion of its transition to the new ACA with the publication of the June ACA Professional Stage exam results.

These were the last papers which involved two sets of exams - one for the new ACA scheme introduced in 2007 and a final sitting for those enrolled on the 2004 ACA scheme.

All employees looking for ACA jobs will now use the new ACA qualification syllabus and structure formed last year after consultation with appropriate stakeholders.

Mark Protherough, head of operations and director of ICAEW learning and professional development, said: "All our professional stage students will from now on be on the same ACA scheme, which is of great advantage both to students and their employers."

He added that the scheme is more flexible than in the past with an improved focus on technical accuracy and ethics.

The ICAEW recently reminded people the 31st July is the deadline for renewing tax credits.
