ACCA exemptions for CPA Kenya: If you have completed your CPA (you’re now a CPA-K) and want to take the next step by taking an ACCA qualification, you may be aware that ACCA gives exemptions to CPA-K holders in several papers.
This obviously shortens the time it takes to complete your ACCA course significantly.
So, what are the available ACCA exemptions for CPA Kenya holders?
I enquired from ACCA a while back and I was given a breakdown of the papers you can be exempted in by the virtue of having completed the CPA course in Kenya.
Here it is:
