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:

ACCA exemptions for CPA Kenya – units you’re exempted from

Based on the year you completed your final CPA exam, you are likely to be eligible to be awarded 9 exemptions out of the usual 13 papers students taken in ACCA.

Below are the units you will be exempted from at the various ACCA modules and the normal charges:

After these exemptions, you will only need to pass the following papers:

Here you have to pass both essential units. These are:

A word on the exemptions fees

Now, ACCA occasionally offers waivers to CPA-K holders and that reduces the total exemption fee by a significant amount.

You can save up to kshs.84000 if you are lucky to get the waiver.

Kindly contact ACCA through 0790207479 to confirm if the offer is currently available and how to apply.
