ICAJ/ACCA Joint Examination Scheme 

ICAJ/ACCA Graduation Exercise 2017

ACCA works in partnership with local accountancy bodies in a number of countries. Examples of this would be Joint Examination Schemes (JES) and Strategic Partnerships.  ACCA has 15 Joint Examination Partnerships globally, where ACCA works with a national Professional Accountancy Organisation (PAO) to provide globally-accepted qualifications, with local recognition and relevance. Under these partnerships, students register with both partner PAOs (ACCA and the national partner) and are thereby able to satisfy the exam criteria for membership of both simultaneously.  

A Joint Examination Scheme is established in Jamaica with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Jamaica.

Applicants must first sign up with ACCA Apply to become a student then register with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Jamaica. Go on the website https://icaj.org/general/register_member_type.asp? create a student applicant account and make the initial registration payment of $3500.
