I register with ACCA as student in Dec - 07, got five exemptions upto F5 and going to sit F6 and F7 this June. I completed my Master Degree in Commerce from Pakistan in 2001 and worked five years with WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) starting from the role of Accounts Officer to Financial Controller. I left WWF in March 2005 after having moved to UK. Since that time I am out of profession.

Can I use my work experience with WWF to be counted towards PER. My Director of Finance in WWF was not a Chartered Accountant, he had MPA and LLB degrees.

Can anybody suggest me anything please?

Hi there ,

I m not sure about this but I think that you have to work under a person who is a member of any qualified accounting body. How ever you should confirm this with anybody else.

Hi Acid,

Thanks for your reply. F6 study material is going to be available for purchase after 20th of this month and by the time I get that stuff it will be around 25th. I am on holidays from this saturday to next sunday and want to utilise my time studying Tax. Is there any possibility that I can get some online stuff to go with, untill I get study material. Can you advise anything please.

Hi Ziqbal 2000,
By now you should have your student pass code to enter the "myacca"....check up the career development and get some further insight of where you stand as regards your experience. In my opinion, I think your skills will be transferable...

All the best
