I am little unhappy because ACCA is increasing its FEE every year.And in total Great Britan Sterling is also a heavy currency and is developing to even more higher price at least in Malaysia.

ACCA has doubled their fee in recent years.This might be due to increase in its reputation in African and Asian Countries.

I have to pay half of our savings for part1.
Surly I can't continue my studies without any job.

And the worst thing is that there is no concession at all.They are increasing fee without taking into account that there are various countries where £1 = 1000th of their 1 unit.

Afghanistan situation is even more worse after american attack.In my country 1 sterling pound =110 RS.You can imagine that in my country labour earn 30 pounds in 1 month if they go to work without any holiday.
rluitel - 31 Jan 2006, 04:29 am
here it's £1=127Nrs some times it use to increase to 137Nrs too... :shock:

Annual subscription is truely pain in the butt for me but we have to pay because ACCA manage our records and send us student accountant magazines and other monthly offers.And organize various events in various countries.
shahid_fss - 04 May 2006, 05:18 pm
And our CEO proudly said at live broadcost that they are helping poor countries in development.
loverfellow - 08 May 2006, 05:49 am
Why not we discuss this issue with ACCA directly. In countries like pakistan their cost of organizing papers would be quite low and of course others too. They may set a variable rate of fee in different countries considering earning rate of the fellows. I am going to send them an email may be you can provide force with your response. I hope this issue might be worth considering for them if we clear our problem.
loverfellow - 08 May 2006, 05:51 am
Go ahead, get the catch...
Funmaza - 08 May 2006, 07:08 am
In the end there will be no result because they are in stronger position than individual students.There must be some voice raised on ACCA Pakistan level.Otherwise individual students can do nothing.Paying annual fee is very painful and they are increasing the fee on yearly basis.1 pound is 105 pakistani rupees.
They even have same fee in Africa :shock:

Many students from different country have same question ..And i remember Our CEO had answered one question saying that "we don't want to grade our ACCA degree according to geographic region (according to Country). We want to make all same... So they have decided not to change fee according to countries .
And, i don't think they will feel any pressure from our mails. :?

I dont know about Karachi but in last 2-3 Months they had some quality events (exams techniques, movies, management lecture stc) at Islamabad and I know one thing same event happens at Lahore and Karachi too with a little change in date.
Nisar - 13 May 2006, 04:03 am
Karachi is big city and there are thousand of acca students so there must be held some good seminars.I can confirm about faisalabad that there is/was not any single acca event. :oops:

This all can be linked to U.K.economy.if one looks at uk economy we will come across
people would be surprised to know that less than 2% population is engagd in agriculture and related industries eg. food processing and dairy products.they have to import their food products from africa , asia and eu.
currently manufacturing sector is in decline.manchester is not the same manchester as it was the heart of industrial revolution.they are facing competetion from two types of countries developing world and developed world.developing world like nic (newly industrialied countries of far east) use cheap labour with a comparable quality of machines to mass produce products which is cheaper.
on the other hand developed countries like germany,japan,america use techologically advanced and sophesticated equipments to produce superior quality products.britain is sandwiched between them.Moreover they dont have much natural resources.
the only sector left for making revenue is services . their banking,shipping,finance,education,insurance,health sector, etc are global players.
it employs 60-70% of their population.
ACCA in 1996 won queens award for export excellence.Do you know why? because acca was earning foreign revenue for them.basic material required for publishing books,magazines i mean paper,pulp. is becoming expensive day by day in uk.
then there are organisation who are working to save environment which adds to the cost of paper.then labour costs ,postal costs,acca admin cost,examsetters and checker salaries, etc are definetely going to increase .i forgot to mention inflation.Acca in order to maintain their standard and quality will definately increase fee.i personally think that any request from the poorer countries to make acca affordable to their students will not be entertained by them
because this is business my dear friends.acca is not a charity. ACCA ORGANISATION and its employees come first then other stakeholders.i think its clear to students that they should check their pocket first before embarking on the course.individual request or appeals would not be entertained by acca.anyway acca is a golden goose for british because its earning revenue for them.

There is no way they will reduce the fee in poorer countries. It will also create a lot of controversies.

Well,
there is another viewpoint : acca community as such is not very organised as they are scattered.so in order to impact (influence) any decisionmaking at the head office.
We can only Plead or Request and not demand.
Tell me urself 1000 Members are more powerful or 70000.
Final decision will be of the student weather he wants to embark upon such a course or not.
Thats the equation.
BOTTOMLINE is:
we do have to try to put forward our requests.
We cannot sit idle brooding.

Finally , i would like to put forward a question to all our forum members
has anybody taken intitative about this particular issue in discussing this problem with acca of fee increase ?
if yes then what was their response?
our ceo telling that they dont grade their qualification according to the geographic regions is just a big sham
they cannot overlook the economic/financial aspect of individual students belonging to different geographic regions . because earning potential of general population differs for different regions and then the exchange rate of currencies also matters.
i personally believe the local ca /or accounting qualification is better /
because firstly its cheaps and
at least at the end of day one might end up starting his own practice .

I just sent off my payment /registration form (yep I'm a newbie :wink: ), I'm planning to take this through night school as I work days, the school informed me that the fee was 59. even the form that they gave me has 59!!! So my questions if anyone can help me is; when did this increase take place, shouldn't the school have been informed way in advance regarding an increase and will this hold up my enrollment before Dec. 31'06 (I would like to do the exams in July)
Thanks in advance for any help
