Practising certificate experience forms.

Guidance

PCEF FORMS Applicants for a practising certificate must complete the PCEF.

EXPERIENCE OBTAINED AT MULTIPLE EMPLOYERS If you have obtained experience from multiple employers then you are required to complete separate PCEFs for each period of employment.

TIMELY COMPLETION Your PCEF should be completed and signed off on an ongoing basis and not retrospectively. However, if retrospective completion is unavoidable it must be to the same standard and in the same level of detail as if your experience had been recorded on an ongoing basis.

PRE-MEMBERSHIP EXPERIENCE We may accept up to one year of pre-membership experience. If you wish to claim up to one year of pre-membership experience, you must provide the information requested on the next page about your pre-membership experience. You must then record two years of post-membership experience in the PCEF.

SUMMARY EMPLOYMENT RECORD If your principal is not an ACCA member, we will need to carry out a status check with their professional body. You should provide the name of your principal’s professional body, membership number, postcode and date of birth as some professional bodies will not respond to status checks from ACCA without this information.

Your principal must have been eligible to act as such throughout the period they have signed off in your PCEF.

STATEMENTS OF ACHIEVEMENT In order to obtain a practising certificate you need to demonstrate the achievement of a minimum number of elements from each area. These minimum requirements are summarised in Appendix 1.

You should complete a statement of achievement when you have achieved an element. When recording the experience in the PCEF members are required to demonstrate a majority of the behaviours/examples associated with an element. Specific examples of the work performed in relation to the element must be documented. Listing activities in a bullet point format is not acceptable. Each statement should be evidenced by detailed and varied narrative. You should avoid listing general duties undertaken.

The suggested minimum word count is 300 words for the mandatory areas and the optional units of competence.

PRINCIPAL REVIEWS A review must be undertaken with your principal every six months. Commentary must be provided in all sections of the reviews. If any of these are left blank we will not be able to accept your application.

TIME SUMMARY As a guideline, three years of full-time experience equates to 4,620 hours of working time.

If you are claiming one year of pre-membership experience using the form on the next page, you should provide only two years of post-membership experience in your PCEF. As a guideline, two years of post-membership experience equates to 3,080 hours of working time.

SIGNATURES Signatures must be typed. Ensure that you and your principal (and/or authorised supervisor) have typed their signature in all the required places. If any of these are missing, your application will be delayed. We will contact your principal to verify they have personally reviewed and signed-off your PCEF.

EXAMPLES Examples of each element are contained in the guidance notes. These are for guidance purposes only. Do not copy and paste them or the unit headings when completing your own PCEF.

ACCA may use plagiarism detection software.

Copying and pasting from the examples may indicate that you have not achieved the required breadth of experience towards the award of a practising certificate. Copying and pasting may also be regarded as supplying false, inaccurate and/or misleading information raising questions about your integrity, which may result in referral to ACCA Complaint Assessment department for consideration as to possible disciplinary action.

You can find more guidance about completing the PCEF in the guidance notes on our website at www.accaglobal.com/pcef

http://www.accaglobal.com/practising

Please complete this page if you are claiming one year pre-membership experience towards your practising certificate. You can only claim a maximum of 12 months pre-membership.

Guidance Members applying for a practising certificate should complete this time summary to provide all working time covering the training period. Working time may also include non-chargeable time, for example research and training.

As a guideline, three years of full-time experience equates to 4,620 hours of working time (35 hours per week). If you are claiming one year of pre-membership experience using the form on page three, you are only required to record two years of post membership experience and corresponding working time. As a guideline, two years of post-membership experience equates to 3,080 hours of working time.

Part-time hours should be recorded every six months, an additional time summary may be required should you need to document more than three years of work experience in order to meet the time requirements. Guidance for part-time working is available on the website.

Any unusual work patterns may need further supporting evidence in the form of time sheets from your employer.

Where members who work in the corporate or public sector are the most senior members of accounting staff in their organisation they may arrange for a representative from their organisation’s auditors or accountants to act as their principal, providing that they have sufficient knowledge of the members’ work and ability to sign their PCEF.

6 Authorised supervisor

A principal may delegate to an authorised supervisor the sign off of certain sections of the member’s PCEF. The authorised supervisor does not need to hold an ACCA practising certificate or an ACCA practising certificate or be a practising member of any other professional accountancy body which is recognised for audit purposes. However, the principal must ensure that the authorised supervisor has the necessary qualifications and experience. The authorised supervisor must be a senior staff member in the organisation, have knowledge of the individual’s work and the training undertaken. The principal must still complete the Principal confirmation section on the statements of achievement, the relevant section on each of the Principal review documents and confirm that the Time summary completed by the member is reasonable. The principal will still retain overall responsibility for training and must therefore countersign the completed PCEF to confirm the requirements for a practising certificate have been met.

Text Field 57: PE1-As a finance professional working as a CFO in different countries, I always make sure that my work follows high professional and ethical standards. I carefully check all financial reports, tax returns, and compliance matters to ensure they follow ACCA rules, local laws, and international standards. I lead by example and make sure my team also understands the importance of integrity, honesty, and professional behaviour. I also make sure that internal controls are working properly and that any problems can be reported safely. PE2-To stay updated, I regularly visit the ACCA website and other professional platforms to read the latest news and updates. I check for changes in tax laws, financial reporting standards, and new tools or technologies in finance. I also attend online trainings and webinars when possible. This helps me stay informed, especially because I work in several areas like real estate in Dubai, oil and gas in Turkey, and venture capital in the UK. PE3-I also focus on my own learning and development. I take time to learn new things, for example, how to use Xero and SAP better, or understand how AI can be used in finance. I keep track of the courses I take and the resources I read. I also share useful information with my team and encourage them to learn more. I have helped some of my team members start their own ACCA journey and supported them in their learning.

I ensured that sensitive internal and external information was handled with strict confidentiality, especially when dealing with client data, employee records, and third-party service providers. SR2-I participated in several professional community events and conferences, including those hosted in London, Baku, Turkey, and Dubai. These events provided excellent platforms to engage with other finance and compliance professionals, promote our company’s services, and discuss best practices in stakeholder and client management. I was directly involved in representing our firm at these events, which helped build credibility and brand awareness. SR3-In my stakeholder engagement activities, I also evaluated potential partners and vendors for data compliance risks.

This project aimed to replace fragmented Excel-based processes with a centralized enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to improve efficiency, accuracy, and transparency across departments SI2-I was appointed as the project sponsor, overseeing the implementation strategy and ensuring alignment with the company’s long-term business objectives. I worked closely with both internal stakeholders and the external SAP consultants to ensure the system addressed the real needs of the business. One of my major contributions was bridging the gap between the technical teams and the finance and operations departments. I ensured the system was tailored to meet specific operational challenges, such as intercompany transactions, procurement cycles, and cash flow visibility. Additionally, I initiated the implementation of quality control systems to monitor data integrity and operational accuracy within SAP. These included internal dashboards, automated exception reporting, and control checklists. I also introduced secondary review mechanisms that required periodic reviews of key transactions by department heads, this significantly reduced errors and improved audit readiness.

Text Field 110: PD2-In my role within a CFO family office setup, I was responsible for overseeing budgeting, cost control, and operational efficiency across multiple service lines. As part of this, I conducted detailed market and competitor analysis, utilizing both internal insights and external research to understand client expectations and industry pricing. Based on these findings, I developed a comprehensive price list for our services, tailored to our client base and competitive positioning. PD3-I also took the lead in designing and implementing budget monitoring systems. These systems allowed department heads and project managers to track actual performance against budgeted figures in real time. I held monthly reviews where we discussed any major variances, investigated causes, and adjusted projections if necessary. This process ensured our financial discipline and supported data-driven decision-making. PD4-To improve the cost-effectiveness of service delivery, I introduced a timesheet analysis process. Each month, I reviewed timesheets and matched them against actual revenue and resource allocation to assess the true cost of services rendered. This enabled us to identify areas of inefficiency and take corrective actions, such as reassigning staff or revising service delivery processes. PD5-Security of company assets was also part of my remit. I implemented a material control system that ensured the proper tracking, protection, and usage of high-value items across departments. This included physical inventory checks, access control measures, and reconciliation with accounting records. As a result, we significantly reduced the risk of loss, theft, or misreporting of critical assets

LM2-Based on these needs, I conducted interviews and managed the recruitment process, selecting suitable candidates who matched both the technical requirements and the company culture. LM3- Once the teams were formed, I took an active role in team development. As an internal coach and manager, I supported employees' career growth by designing and implementing annual development plans tailored to their roles and potential. These plans included individual learning goals, training activities, and mentoring sessions. I also created a structured onboarding process to help new hires integrate effectively and understand the company’s values and expectations. LM6-Throughout the year, I monitored team performance and held regular one-on-one meetings to assess progress against development goals and KPIs. I used performance reviews not only to evaluate results but also to provide feedback and identify opportunities for improvement. At the end of each year, I conducted formal appraisal sessions and participated in the decision-making process for bonuses and promotions, ensuring fairness and transparency.

Each of these entities operates under a distinct regulatory framework, requiring close attention to local compliance, currency treatments, tax rules, and reporting timelines. CR2-I coordinate the monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reporting cycles across all entities. My primary responsibility is to ensure the quality, completeness, and consistency of the financial data that forms the basis of management reports and statutory financial statements. I conduct regular reviews of internal reporting packs, trial balances, and journal entries to identify discrepancies or risks. Where required, I work with local finance teams to correct misstatements before final reporting.Given the complexity of operating across jurisdictions, I also engage with local consultants and tax advisors to ensure the financial data adheres to relevant accounting standards (such as IFRS or local GAAP). Their input is especially important for tax provisions, intercompany eliminations, and year-end closing adjustments.In terms of financial presentation, I prepare group-level consolidated reports, cash flow analysis, and performance dashboards. I tailor these for different stakeholders, including top management, shareholders, and auditors. My reports include detailed breakdowns of P&L, balance sheet positions, intercompany reconciliations, and variance analysis against budgets.

Our group uses a combination of accounting systems including Xero, SAP, and Excel-based consolidation templates. My responsibility is to ensure the financial information from each entity is accurately prepared, validated, and consolidated to support management decision-making. CR3-Each month, I collect data from our international subsidiaries and review trial balances to identify and resolve inconsistencies. I post accruals, currency adjustments, and intercompany eliminations to finalize the reporting packs. I then prepare group-level management accounts, including profit and loss statements, balance sheets, cash flow statements, and customized performance reports segmented by business unit. I also appraise financial data to assess performance, identify trends, and highlight key variances against budget and prior periods. This involves preparing detailed variance analysis, cost center reviews, and commentary for senior management. In the oil & gas segment, I track project-level costs and production efficiency, while in real estate, I focus on asset performance, rental yields, and capital expenditure tracking. Additionally, I coordinate closely with local finance teams and external consultants to ensure compliance with IFRS and local GAAP. This includes managing adjustments for deferred tax, lease accounting, and joint venture reporting, particularly relevant in the oil & gas industry.

This process required me to work closely with local legal and regulatory consultants to understand and implement the required regulatory framework, which included licensing, fund registration, reporting obligations, and governance protocols. BA2-To ensure the fund was compliant, I conducted a detailed review of CIMA regulations and international fund standards. I helped design and implement the compliance and reporting procedures, including AML/KYC policies, fund offering documents, financial reporting schedules, and board-level oversight mechanisms. I also worked with auditors and legal counsel to align our fund documents with both investor expectations and Cayman regulatory requirements. My contribution extended to the practical implementation of regulatory systems within our organization, ensuring that fund administration, investor onboarding, and reporting cycles were properly managed. I also supported the internal team by conducting workshops and training on regulatory obligations and fund governance to ensure ongoing compliance. Separately, one of our clients launched a Limited Partnership (LP) structure in the United Kingdom, and required support in navigating the UK’s regulatory environment, including Companies House filings, FCA registration guidance, and LP agreement structuring. I worked alongside our legal advisors to ensure our client met all obligations and assisted with drafting the compliance documentation. (check with Inam)

One of my key responsibilities was to work directly with the Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) to align the investment and business strategies with their long-term personal and financial goals.Through a series of discussions with the UBO and senior stakeholders, I contributed to the development of a comprehensive strategy that included asset allocation models, liquidity targets, and geographic diversification. The strategy accounted for risk appetite, income needs, succession planning, and macroeconomic outlook. We used financial modelling and scenario planning tools to evaluate potential outcomes and develop a structured approach to capital deployment. Based on the strategic framework, I developed detailed business plans for various investment vehicles and business initiatives. BA4-This included setting up a venture capital fund, defining the investment criteria, and outlining the fund’s governance, decision-making process, and reporting structure. I also worked on the creation of an internal loan portfolio, where I helped establish credit criteria, monitoring procedures, and repayment terms to ensure a healthy and diversified lending structure.Additionally, I participated in building a screening framework for investment evaluation, which allowed the family office to assess deal flow opportunities based on pre-agreed KPIs and strategic alignment. I also coordinated due diligence activities, collaborated with external legal and financial advisors, and contributed to preparing board-level presentations for final decision-making.

One of my primary responsibilities was to support the executive team in identifying the company’s capital needs, evaluating funding options, and securing suitable financing to support growth initiatives.We began by conducting a detailed review of the company’s operational and financial performance. After establishing the budget and cash flow forecasts, it became clear that the company would face a significant liquidity shortfall due to expansion commitments and delayed receivables. I led the analysis to determine the funding gap and worked with the finance team to assess both short-term and long-term financing requirements. BA6-I coordinated the evaluation of various financing options, including commercial loans, private investors, asset-backed facilities, and potential partnerships. I developed a list of potential financiers both local and international and assessed their terms, risk appetite, and alignment with our business model. I also helped prepare the financial models, and documentation required for investor presentations .Following several rounds of meetings and negotiations, we secured approximately USD 60 million in funding from a combination of institutional lenders and strategic investors. The financing was structured in tranches and linked to specific project milestones, ensuring proper fund utilization and financial discipline. My role also included overseeing compliance with loan covenants and reporting obligations.

I participate in strategic discussions and support the committee with financial analysis, risk assessment, and structuring recommendations. I contribute to decision-making on capital deployment by evaluating both direct investments and fund-level commitments. BA8-One of my key responsibilities was to assess the performance and risk profile of our legacy loan portfolio, which consisted of multiple low-interest, poorly structured loans. After detailed analysis, I recommended that the office exit from these low-performing assets and instead reinvest capital into higher-yielding opportunities, including structured debt and equity deals. These targeted assets offered stronger risk-adjusted returns and were aligned with the overall investment objectives of the family office. BA9-To support these decisions, I performed detailed business valuations, especially for potential acquisitions or investments under consideration by the investment committee. A notable example was the valuation of a Turkish oil distribution company that was being considered for partial acquisition. I prepared a comprehensive valuation report that included DCF analysis, peer benchmarking, and a review of the company’s debt structure, asset base, and market position.My role also included working closely with external advisors to validate assumptions, ensure regulatory compliance, and confirm the commercial viability of proposed transactions. These insights were compiled into investment memos and presented to the board for approval.

The existing processes were fragmented across multiple tools, including spreadsheets and legacy systems, leading to inefficiencies, manual errors, and limited integration between departments. My goal was to recommend and implement a more robust and scalable solution to support the company’s growth and regulatory requirements. SM2-I began by conducting a comparative analysis of available accounting systems and ERP platforms, including Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle, and SAP. Together with a cross-functional team, I defined the system requirements based on current pain points, reporting needs, internal controls, and future scalability. We also consulted with external IT advisors and vendors to review functionality, licensing terms, and integration capabilities. After careful evaluation, SAP was selected as the most suitable system due to its strong industry reputation, advanced features, and ability to integrate finance, procurement, and inventory modules.Once the decision was made, I was assigned to oversee the SAP implementation process. I worked closely with both internal stakeholders and SAP consultants to develop the implementation timeline, map business processes, and configure modules based on our organizational structure. My role involved coordinating data migration, validating account structures, and testing the new system to ensure it met reporting and compliance needs.

One of the largest undertakings was a major retail expansion project involving over 400 stores across multiple regions.I led the development of detailed spending proposals and budget profiles, collaborating closely with department heads from procurement, operations, HR, and construction. I ensured that all planned spending aligned with the company’s strategic goals, and all cost assumptions such as pricing, staffing levels, lease agreements, and marketing expenditures were backed by supporting data. SM4-I consolidated CAPEX and OPEX budgets and presented them to the executive board for approval.To monitor budget performance , I introduced a robust financial tracking process using a customized dashboard developed in collaboration with the finance team. This system enabled real-time monitoring of spending across regions, quickly flagged variances, and triggered immediate root cause analysis and corrective actions. I also implemented a monthly budget performance review cycle with business unit leaders, which improved accountability and financial discipline.Where required, I conducted reforecasting exercises, reallocating funds in response to changes in project scope, market dynamics, or strategic shifts. These measures enhanced cost control and enabled the group to maintain financial agility while delivering on operational targets across the oil & gas, real estate, and VC sectors.

For the 2025 fiscal year, I defined tailored KPIs for each entity, linking individual and departmental performance to the broader strategic and investment objectives of the group. SM6-To monitor progress and drive accountability, I implemented a monthly financial performance review system. After evaluating several ERP and reporting tools, I selected SAP due to its robustness and compatibility with our complex structure. I oversaw its implementation across all departments, coordinating with IT and finance teams to ensure that real estate development projects, oil distribution activities, and VC portfolio performance could be effectively tracked. SM7-I conduct monthly review sessions, analyzing financial performance across the oil & gas supply chain, real estate development timelines, and the profitability and burn rates of VC-backed startups. For our family office and group companies, these reviews provide insights into actuals vs. budget, variance analysis, and forecasting, allowing timely strategic interventions. This structured monitoring framework has significantly improved financial discipline and decision-making across all sectors.

Text Field 300: SM8-In my role as CFO, I regularly evaluate the cost and profitability structure of our services by reviewing how many hours and resources are required to deliver specific outputs. This allows us to measure efficiency and assess whether the effort invested results in sufficient return, using cost accounting principles. SM9-In collaboration with the Finance Department, we calculate the actual cost of services and internal projects by reviewing time sheets, departmental expenses, and cost drivers. This cost accounting process enables us to allocate costs accurately across departments and jurisdictions. SM10-In 2025, I carried out a detailed analysis of cost accounting results and time sheet data from the previous year. Based on this review, I redesigned the structure of our operational teams and reallocated certain activities. As a result, some work previously done in-house was outsourced, which significantly improved cost efficiency and resource utilization. These changes not only reduced internal pressure on capacity but also enhanced the overall value contribution of each team.

Each jurisdiction has its own tax legislation, filing requirements, and compliance timelines, which made the coordination of tax obligations a complex but essential part of my responsibilities. To ensure full tax compliance, I worked closely with local outsourced tax consultants and advisors in each country. My responsibilities included reviewing financial statements, identifying tax-sensitive transactions (such as intercompany loans, dividends, capital gains, and transfer pricing adjustments), and ensuring accurate and timely tax computations in accordance with both local and international tax regulations.In the UK, Cyprus, and Luxembourg, I was involved in reviewing corporate income tax, withholding tax, and VAT returns. In Dubai, I ensured timely corporate tax and ESR (Economic Substance Regulation) filings following recent legislative changes. In Turkey, I oversaw full local tax reporting including VAT, withholding tax, and corporate income tax declarations.For offshore jurisdictions such as the Cayman Islands and BVI, I monitored compliance with economic substance requirements and liaised with local advisors to ensure that annual returns and required declarations were submitted to the authorities.I reviewed and approved all tax payable schedules, ensured documentation was audit ready, and coordinated with external auditors during annual financial audits. I also supervised the reconciliation of deferred tax balances where applicable and ensured proper tax provisioning in the consolidated financial statements.

This was done in close coordination with a network of outsourced international tax consultants, ensuring the structure complied with local and international regulations while optimizing tax efficiency. TA5-The objective was to establish a tax framework that would support the group’s cross-border investment and financing activities. Together with external advisors, I reviewed entity locations, holding structures, income flows, and potential exposure to withholding taxes, interest deductibility limitations, and economic substance rules. Based on this, we proposed a structure where a Cayman Islands entity would serve as the holding company, issuing shares in a Luxembourg SPV, which would hold debt investments in the UK and USA.The strategic consideration involved analyzing the tax impact of investing through debt vs equity, taking into account the withholding tax risk and treaty benefits. For example, equity investment via Luxembourg provided more favorable tax treatment for distributions, while debt structures had the advantage of interest deductibility. We also evaluated hybrid options and substance requirements in both jurisdictions to ensure sustainability of the structure.
