You’ll need to renew your firm’s auditing certificate once a year. When it’s time to do this, the contact partner will see a reminder on their MyACCA dashboard. To renew, follow the instructions on screen from that reminder. More detailed guidance can be found below.
If your firm no longer needs an auditing certificate, you can tell us by selecting ‘no’ when asked if you wish to renew. Outside of the renewal period, please select the Contact us option below. You should also open a new case to let us know about any other changes that might affect your FAC.
If you’re no longer your firm’s contact partner, please let us know by selecting the Contact us option below.
Log in to your MyACCA portal.
On the homepage, you should see a notification reminding you to renew. If you are renewing for your firm, only the contact partner will receive the renewal notification.
