We don’t offer the option to freeze your account. Your ACCA services will be suspended if you don’t pay the annual subscription fee by the payment deadline.
Please note that the consequences are the same whether you suspend passively (by not paying) or actively (by resigning).
Before you go, we'd like to remind you that ACCA opens doors to respected, hugely rewarding career opportunities with the world's best employers across most sectors and industries.
If you are choosing to leave ACCA, we hope this is only temporary and that you will come back to complete your qualification when you're ready.
Struggling financially to make payments
You can make part payments towards your outstanding balance.
Need additional training material to support your exam progression
Our website has study resources available for all ACCA exams to support you through your exam preparation. These are a cost-effective way to support you through your studies.
Upcoming exam bookings
If you already have an ACCA exam booked, this will be cancelled when your resignation is processed. Please be aware that if the standard exam entry closing date has already passed, the exam entry fee will not be refunded.
How do I resign
If you are certain that you want to cancel your ACCA student registration and resign from ACCA, please complete the online resignation application.
If you have outstanding fees on your account, please pay for these before your resignation is processed.
If you are connected to an organisation at the time of your resignation, please remove the connection to ensure you no longer appear in the organisation’s portal, reports, or billing arrangement. This can be done before or after your resignation has been processed.
For more information, including dedicated video guidance, visit ACCA Global.
Fees
No matter how you lose your ACCA status, they incur the same fees. If you later return, you will need to pay a readmission fee.
Returning to ACCA
Please note, there is always the option to re-join ACCA in future to continue your journey on becoming a qualified finance professional.
You are also welcome to return at any time. Should you wish to re-join, here is the readmission process.
