Who needs to complete CPD?

New members

New members are required to join ACCA Realise on the 1 January after they have acheived membership. Members may opt into ACCA Realise early, but if they do so they must complete the full requirement for the year before carrying-over any CPD into their first official CPD year.

Active members

All ACCA members who are active in the workplace are required to complete CPD on an annual basis. Members can choose one of the following routes when meeting their CPD requirement:

  • unit route
  • unit route - part-time or semi-retired
  • ACCA Approved Employer route
  • other IFAC member body route.

Retired members

Members on the retired register are exempt from CPD.

Recognising personal circumstances

If personal circumstances mean you cannot participate fully in CPD then you may be eligible for a CPD waiver. For more information, please visit the waiver section.
