ACCA Practising Certificate

ACCA Practising Certificate

Didn't find your answer?

I am in the process of applying for the ACCA practice cert (general practice). Unfortunately, I did not fill in the training record as I went along, and now I'm faced with the dillema of reconstruction!

I would appreciate it if any recent applicants would kindly help me out on this one! My email is [email protected].

I promise I do have the relevant experience!

Thanks in advance

Not too hard to reconstruct surely?
Assuming that you have a relatively good memory of the work you have done for each employment, and that the employers are still in existence, I am sure it wouldn't be too difficult to reconstruct it from memory, supported by either written references from previous employers or getting them to counter-sign your best efforts as to the work you undertook for them.

I can't imagine that your record of experience has to be so detailed that you can't remember. Surely it won't need you to remember exact dates you did a particular piece of work or the client name etc. I am sure it will be good enough to say that say," from Jan to Jul 2006 I was a semi senior accounts clerk with xyz ltd, and during those months I prepared incomplete records accounts, VAT returns, trial balances, payroll, etc., for a variety of small business clients with a typical turnover of under £100,000 under the direct supervision of Miss Y who was a senior accounts clerk" and get Miss Y to countersign.

I certainly did nothing more than that, in fact probably less. I would only put down "tasks" individually if they were particularly long and arduous, i.e. a three month secondment to a particular client. If you were doing a large number of similar repetitive style jobs, then that's all you need to say surely?
