I understand that when transferring to membership, I could become liable to disciplinary action for events which engage ACCA
Byelaw 8, liability to disciplinary action, which occurred before or after I transfer (read Notes section below now).
I confirm I have now read the Notes section below and:
• I understand that as a member of ACCA I must adhere and keep updated with the ACCA rulebook at all times. This is available
online at http://www.accaglobal.com/rulebook
• I understand that if I fail to declare an event which may engage Byelaw 8, or if I provide any false or misleading statement in this
form, I may face disciplinary action which may involve an allegation of dishonest conduct, and may also invalidate any decision
reached in this application;
• I understand while I am a member of ACCA I will promptly notify ACCA in writing about any event which may engage Byelaw 8;
• I agree to comply with ACCA’s Charter, Byelaws, Regulations and Code of Ethics and Conduct;
• I have not been subject to any criminal conviction and/or caution;
• I have not been disciplined by any professional body and/or regulator;
• I have not been subject to any other matters which may engage Byelaw 8 that have not already been brought to the attention of
ACCA’s Assessment or Investigations Department in writing;
• I understand that the UK Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 does not apply to me (as it does not apply to the professions of
chartered accountant, certified accountant) and that I am required to disclose all convictions and/or cautions, including those that
are spent, provided that they are not ‘protected’ as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (as
amended in 2013). The amendments to the Exceptions Order 1975 (2013) provide that certain spent convictions and cautions are
‘protected’ and are not subject to disclosure;
• I understand that any matters which I have disclosed to ACCA which engage Byelaw 8 will be taken into account when dealing with
my application, but that the matters may not automatically stop me transferring to membership;
• I confirm and declare I have included everything ACCA needs to know, and there is nothing else I should bring to ACCA’s attention
at the present time.
I further undertake that I will only use the designation ‘Chartered Certified Accountant’ and the designatory letters ‘ACCA’ (or ‘FCCA’
when I become a fellow) only while I remain a member of ACCA. I understand that if I engage in any public practice activities or hold
myself out to do so (as defined by The Chartered Certified Accountants Global Practising Regulations 3 and 4) as a director, partner,
LLP member or principal in an accountancy practice, I will need to hold an ACCA practising certificate or arrange to be placed on
ACCA’s register of practitioners.
I understand that ACCAs definition of public practice extends beyond audit to incorporate all types of work generally associated with
an accountancy practice, such as producing accounts, tax returns, but excluding book keeping services, and requires me to hold an
ACCA practicing certificate.
I understand that if I provide external accountancy services as defined by CCAB guidance (which includes book keeping/payroll
services or any service which involves the recording, review, analysis, calculation or reporting of financial information, and which is
provided under arrangements other than a contract of employment), I must be registered for anti-money laundering supervision with
HM Revenue and Customs or another Professional Body Supervisor recognised for such purposes prior to provision of such services.
NB: Members outside the UK should check what local obligations they may have regarding anti-money laundering supervision.
I have read, understood and checked my position against the factsheet: Am I in public practice? https://www.accaglobal.com/content/
dam/ACCA_Global/Members/Forms/Am%20I%20in%20Public%20Practice.pdf
I acknowledge my duty to the public to ensure that the quality of my knowledge and service is maintained after qualification. I therefore
accept my responsibility to undertake adequate continuing professional development as directed by Council and specified in the
Chartered Certified Accountants’ Membership Regulations.
I consent to ACCA processing my personal data as described under the Communications, Marketing and Data Protection section.
