Conversion arrangements
ACCA exam conversion arrangements
Oxford Brookes will recognise any passes or exemptions from Part 1 and Part 2 exams in the ACCA Professional scheme that are converted to the Fundamentals level of the ACCA Qualification, as contributions towards the award of the BSc degree after 1 August 2008.
ACCA Professional Scheme exam passes before June 2000
If you passed one or more of ACCA's Professional Scheme exams before June 2000, and opted-in before November 2001, you may complete the BSc degree before 31 July 2008 – provided that you fulfil the requirements of the 'transitional arrangements' published when the degree was introduced. You should contact the ACCA office at Oxford Brookes to seek advice on your eligibility for the BSc degree.
If you now intend to complete the BSc degree you will be subject to both the requirements of the 'transitional arrangements', and the requirements of these conversion arrangements.
Completion of ACCA Part 1 and Part 2 exams at June 2007 sitting
If you did not complete the BSc (Hons) in Applied Accounting degree by 31 July 2008, then you may do so after this date, but a Research and Analysis Project that is submitted after 1 August 2008 (first attempt or resubmission) must be presented under the requirements of the Research and Analysis Project effective from 1 August 2008.
You must now also complete the Professional Ethics module before submitting the Research and Analysis Project, and the degree class will be based on the ACCA average mark determined from the exam marks in the Part 2 papers that you sat and passed, and the grade achieved for the Research and Analysis Project.
Completion of ACCA Fundamentals Level at December 2007 sitting
If you did not complete the BSc (Hons) in Applied Accounting degree by 31 July 2008, then you may do so after this date, but a Research and Analysis Project that is submitted after 1 August 2008 (first attempt or resubmission) must be presented under the requirements of the Research and Analysis Project effective from 1 August 2008.
You must now also complete the Professional Ethics module before submitting the Research and Analysis Project, and the degree class will be based on the ACCA average mark determined from the exam marks in the Part 2 and Fundamentals Skills (F4–F9) papers you sat and passed, and the grade achieved for the Research and Analysis Project.
Please review the example below
EXAMPLE
After the June 2007 exam sitting, an ACCA student has the following results:
| Paper 1.1 | 62% | Paper 1.2 | 60% | Paper 1.3 | Exempt |
| Paper 2.1 | 66% | Paper 2.2 | Exempt | Paper 2.3 | 59% |
Under the ACCA conversion arrangements, passes in Papers 1.1, 1.2, 2.1 and 2.3 will be converted to passes in F3, F2, F5 and F6 respectively. The exemptions in Papers 1.3 and 2.2 will be converted to exemptions in F1 and F4 respectively.
If the student subsequently meets all of the BSc degree requirements after 1 August 2008, the ACCA average mark will be determined from the exam marks in Paper 2.1 (F5), Paper 2.3 (F6) and the three papers F7, F8 and F9. This will be combined with the grade awarded for the Research and Analysis Project to give the class of degree.
After 1 August 2008, the student will be given credit for the passes in Papers 1.1 and 1.2 (F3 and F2). The student will be given credit for the exemptions in Papers 1.3 and 2.2 (F1 and F4).
