DECLARATION
I hereby apply for reinstatement to the membership/reinstatement to the affiliate register of the Association of Chartered Certified
Accountants (ACCA).
I understand that if reinstated to membership/reinstated to the affiliate register, I could become liable to disciplinary action for events
which engage ACCA Byelaw 8, liability to disciplinary action, which occurred before or after I am reinstated (read Notes section
below now).
I confirm I have now read the Notes section below and:
• I understand that if I fail to declare an event which may engage Byelaw 8, or if I provide any false or misleading statement in this
form, I may face disciplinary action which may involve an allegation of dishonest conduct, and may also invalidate any decision
reached in this application;
• I understand while I am a member of ACCA I will promptly notify ACCA about any event which may engage Byelaw 8;
• I agree to comply with ACCA’s Charter, Byelaws, Regulations and Code of Ethics and Conduct;
• I have not been subject to any criminal conviction and/or caution;
• I have not been disciplined by any professional body and/or regulator;
• I have not been subject to any other matters which may engage Byelaw 8 that has not already been brought to the attention of
ACCA’s Assessment or Invsestigations department;
• I understand that the UK Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 does not apply to me (as it does not apply to the professions of
chartered accountant, certified accountant) and that I am required to disclose any convictions and/or cautions, including those that
are spent, provided that they are not ‘protected’ as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (as
amended in 2013). The amendments to the Exceptions Order 1975 (2013) provide that certain spent convictions and cautions are
‘protected’ and are not subject to disclosure;
• I understand that any matters which I have disclosed to ACCA which engage Byelaw 8 will be taken into account when dealing with
my application, but that the matters may not automatically stop me transferring to membership;
• I confirm and declare I have included everything ACCA needs to know, and there is nothing else I should bring to ACCA’s attention
at the present time.
I further undertake that I will only use the designation ‘Chartered Certified Accountant’ and the designatory letters ‘ACCA’ (or
‘FCCA’ when I become a fellow) only while I remain a member of ACCA. I understand that if I engage in any public practice activities
(as defined by The Chartered Certified Accountants Global Practising Regulations 3 and 4), I will need to hold an ACCA practising
certificate. I confirm that I have read and understood the factsheet: Am I in public practice? https://www.accaglobal.com/content/
dam/ACCA_Global/Members/Forms/Am%20I%20in%20Public%20Practice.pdf
I acknowledge my duty to the public to ensure that the quality of my knowledge and service is maintained after qualification. I therefore
accept my responsibility to undertake adequate continuing professional development as directed by Council and specified in the
Chartered Certified Accountants’ Membership Regulations.
Notes: ACCA Byelaw 8 sets out the details of the events which could lead to disciplinary action. These events include (but are not
limited to) the following: Incompetence in carrying out work; breach of ACCA Byelaws or Regulations; disciplinary action against you
by another professional body or regulator; bankruptcy or insolvency; failure to satisfy a judgment debt without reasonable excuse
within two months; criminal conviction and/or caution; civil finding of acting fraudulently or dishonestly as a party or witness in civil
proceedings; misconduct – this includes (but is not limited to) any act, or failure to act, that is likely to discredit you, relevant firm,
ACCA or the accountancy profession. The following events are conclusive proof of misconduct and of the facts and matters found: a
copy of the certificate or memorandum of conviction or caution, and of any final judgment, ruling or determination given in criminal
proceedings; a copy of a certified judgment in civil proceedings. Please note that hearings of ACCA’s Disciplinary Committee shall be
open to the public and all orders and findings shall be publicised unless the Committee determines otherwise.
