A full set of terms and conditions were agreed to as part of initial approval. The information below is designed as a high-level prompt
Once your status as an Approved Employer has been confirmed, it is your responsibility to make sure it is kept up to date.
All Approved Employers must take part in renewal after three years of approval. You will be asked to take part in a monitoring exercise after six years of approval. This cycle will be repeated for as long as your approval is valid.
We will contact you whenever you’re due to take part in renewal or monitoring and give you clear instructions on what you need to do and when we need your response. If we don’t hear back from you by the stated closing date, we will do our best to get in touch with an alternative contact at your company. However, your approval may be suspended or removed if we can’t get a prompt response.
Approved Employers holding Approved Employer status under the Practising Certificate stream (PCD or AQD) will be contacted separately to arrange an on-site monitoring visit/MS Teams meeting or a desk-based review of their documentary evidence. This review will be carried out by ACCA’s licensing compliance team. If you hold additional streams of approval, these will be monitored by the licensing compliance team at the same time as your Practising Certificate Development approval.
If your TD or PD approval is withdrawn for any reason, work experience gained by any ACCA trainees in your organisation will continue to contribute towards the practical experience requirement for ACCA membership, but they will not be eligible to claim the performance objective exemption. Similarly, ACCA members employed by your organisation will not be able to participate in the CPD programme via the ACCA Approved Employer route and will have to choose from the alternative routes available.
