Fellows – additional information
ACCA membership is a symbol of professional proficiency in the accounting industry and a commitment to professional ethics. It represents industry-wide recognition and commendation earned through hard work and study. Many ACCA fellows continue to maintain their membership status even if they are no longer actively working in the accounting industry.
We highly value your fellowship status; you’re not only important to ACCA, but also an outstanding role model for peers striving to achieve the same.
Lifetime membership: lifetime membership is open to all fellows (FCCA) who are permanently retired from work or business (full or part time).
Still wish to resign your membership?
We strongly encourage you to reconsider before deciding to resign your membership. If you’ve already decided, please complete a resignation application. Once we confirm your membership is resigned, you will no longer hold member or FCCA status and cannot identify yourself as an ACCA member or fellow.
