ACCA is a globally recognised professional qualification for careers in accounting, finance, audit and taxation, combining technical knowledge, ethics and practical skills.

Yes, ACCA is fully recognised in Malta and worldwide and is widely accepted by employers locally and abroad.

Most students complete ACCA in three to four years, depending on exemptions, exam progression as well as personal and work commitments.

To register for the ACCA qualification, students normally need a minimum of two A‑Levels and three O‑Levels (including Mathematics and English), or equivalent qualifications. Students who do not meet the entry requirements can start their ACCA journey through the Foundations in Accountancy route.

You may register as an ACCA student via accaglobal.com in order to start studying ACCA and obtain an ACCA registration number. ACCA have facilitated this process so it is relatively easy to apply.

Upon applying, you will be given a choice to either apply as ACCA or as FIA student. If you do not hold the minimum entry requirements which are 2 A’levels and 3 O’levels (including Maths and English, either as an A’Level or as an O’Level and across 5 separate subjects) you may apply as an FIA student. The only difference between applying as an ACCA student or as an FIA student is that you cannot apply for any papers under the skills section (LW-FM) prior to finishing from BT - FA if you apply as an FIA student.

Once your register with ACCA, you would need to register with the local joint examination centre, namely the Malta Institute of Accountants (MIA). You can access the following link in order to register - MIA-ACCA Joint Scheme
