ACCA September 2026 key dates at a glance

Can you still enter for September 2026?

No. Both entry windows have closed (standard on 27 July, late on 3 August 2026). If you are already booked, your focus now is preparation and, from 19 October, your results. If you missed this sitting, the next opportunity is the December 2026 sitting (dates below).

Which papers are examined in September?

ACCA exams sit within three levels:

• Applied Knowledge: Business and Technology (BT), Management Accounting (MA) and Financial Accounting (FA). These, along with Corporate and Business Law (LW) in most regions, are on-demand computer-based exams you can take year-round, not only in the session.
• Applied Skills: Performance Management (PM), Taxation (TX), Financial Reporting (FR), Audit and Assurance (AA) and Financial Management (FM) are session exams held in the September sitting.
• Strategic Professional: Strategic Business Leader (SBL) and Strategic Business Reporting (SBR), plus two Options papers chosen from Advanced Financial Management (AFM), Advanced Performance Management (APM), Advanced Taxation (ATX) and Advanced Audit and Assurance (AAA).

Exam fees vary by paper, by whether you entered at the standard or late deadline, and by region. Always confirm the current fee for your paper in your myACCA account before booking.

How and when to check your September 2026 results

Results are released on 19 October 2026. Sign in to your myACCA account to see your result; ACCA also emails you when results go live (set your notification preferences in myACCA). Each exam is marked out of 100, and 50 is the pass mark.

Final-weeks study plan

• Practise full questions under timed conditions. Passing ACCA is as much about exam technique and timing as knowledge.
• Prioritise the big, examinable areas of your paper rather than trying to cover everything.
• Sit at least one full mock to the clock, then review every mistake.
• Check your exam docket in myACCA before the sitting for your time, papers and on-screen requirements.
