If your exam response is found to contain elements which undermine the validity and credibility of your exam result you may receive a nullified result.
 
We ensure the validity and credibility of exam results through our quality control processes by:
  • using the most robust and rigorous form of live invigilation
  • running multiple quality assurance post-exam procedures to identify possible irregularities in exam responses
  • having a team of experts sit on our Irregular Results Panel to review and consider irregular exam responses.
To maintain the security of our exam model and processes, we do not disclose the irregularities identified when nullified results are issued. However, in accordance with our exam regulations, we can confirm that a student would not receive a nullified result for reasons relating to a technical issue or fault.
 

Consequences of a nullified result  
In accordance with Exam Regulation 20, if ACCA suspects, or has cause to believe, that there has been irregular conduct and/or identifies anomalous testing results in connection with your examination (identified during the examination itself or identified by ACCA after the examination), it reserves the right to nullify your exam result, not refund your exam fee, and/or withhold your examination results and/or suspend your ability to sit further ACCA examinations.

 

Appealing a nullified result  

Students have the right to appeal the awarding of each nullified result itself if they believe that ACCA did not apply its procedures correctly in considering their case.  


 

To do so, students must appeal to the Head of Exam Delivery within 14 days of being notified of their nullified result to: exams.contingency@accaglobal.com


 

 

Your appeal will then be forwarded to the Committee for consideration. 

 

The Committee meets once per exam session. Therefore, we are unable to consider any appeals made after the submission deadline or provide you with the outcome any earlier than the date given in your acknowledgement email.

 


 

The outcome decision is final and there is no option to further appeal.
