Nepal elections mean ACCA exams on 5 March cancelled

Due to the national elections taking place in Nepal on 5 March, ACCA centre-based exams scheduled to take place that day have been cancelled.

Head of exam delivery, Ian Gray, explained it worked closely with both the local office and the British Council to assess all options available, before deciding on this course of action.

Exam fees will be credited to student’s accounts.

ACCA told PQ magazine: “We regret that on security advice we’ve had to cancel part of upcoming exam session in Nepal, due to a clash with national elections. Students will however be able to sit the exams scheduled from 2 to 6 March (with the exception of 5 March) as normal. We withdrew remotely-invigilated exams from Nepal last year as part of worldwide decision to protect exam integrity and are not able to offer this option. We sincerely apologise to students for any inconvenience caused.”
