Hi there!

 The ACCA in Malaysia typically requires either SPM with 5 credits including English and Math, followed by the Foundation in Accountancy (FIA), or STPM / A-Levels / Diploma with relevant subjects to enter directly into the ACCA Qualification.

I’d recommend checking the official ACCA Malaysia website or contacting a local learning provider. They usually outline all the pathways clearly depending on your background.

In Malaysia, ACCA entry typically requires five SPM credits including English and Maths, or two principal passes at STPM. Students under 18 need parental consent. Applicants must provide ID and official English translations if needed. Those without formal qualifications can start via the ACCA Foundation in Accountancy (FIA) program, which offers exam exemptions. MIA members have a special pathway with exemptions for several papers. Registration and annual fees apply, and the process is done online through ACCA’s official site. Prior qualifications may grant exemptions from some exams. For full details, visit the official ACCA Malaysia website.
