The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants ACCA Announced September 2020 Exam Pass Rate according to the information gathered from the institute website.
Despite the pandemic that disrupt global activities, ACCA were able to conduct more than 132,000 exams across the world. ACCA applied remote invigilation where local regulations did not permit in-centre exams, to ease many students continue their ACCA exam journey.
ACCA Announced September 2020 Exam Pass Rate
Alan Hatfield, ACCA executive director – strategy and development says: ‘We understand how important it is for future members to progress on their journey with ACCA to become professional accountants, and so we’ve been working hard over recent months to ensure exams can be taken during these challenging Covid-19 times. It is especially pleasing that by offering exams with remote invigilation, 313 students have become affiliates this session who would otherwise have had to wait until December, or possibly 2021 to sit their final exams.
‘We’ve been listening to feedback, acting on it and are now preparing for the December exams. ACCA is committed to the health and safety of our future members, and we are working hard to ensure the end of year sittings can be taken despite challenges of potential city lockdowns across the globe.’
