Sudan Policy Extract...
3.6.2 Registrations
The ACPA global policy concerning registrations is that they are driven by the Prospective Student or Member (Prospects) and are dealt with directly by the ACPA Membership Officer. The registration process is personal and confidential between the individual Prospect and the Membership Officer. Registrations are normally received into ACPA via email directly from Prospects. However; in the context of Sudan there are two routes in which a registration can be received into ACPA, they are:
  • 1. Directly from the Prospect to the Membership Officer (Route 1)
  • 2. From the Prospect to the Sudan CM and then onto the Membership Officer (Route 2)
In all cases Prospects regarded as Sudan Registrations must be routed via the Sudan CM for initial assessment before the ACPA Membership Officer can complete the Registration and Assessment process. The Sudan CM is duly authorized to act as the initial registration application Assessor in Sudan on behalf of the ACPA Membership Officer.
3.6.2.1 Route 1 Registrations (Direct)
Registrations received directly by the Membership Officer from Prospects will be treated as Sudan Registrations if the Prospect was educated and/or lives within the Sudan. These registrations will be referred back to the Sudan CM for his initial assessment and recommendation concerning the Prospects qualifications and supporting documentation.
3.6.2.2 Route 2 Registrations (Indirect)
All Sudan Registrations will be initially assessed by the Sudan CM. The Assessment will provide an independent review and translated interpretation of the Prospects qualifications and supporting documentation. The Sudan CM will then forward the application documentation and initial assessment recommendation on to the Membership Officer for final processing. Upon completion of the Registration and Assessment process the Membership Officer will inform both the Prospect and the Sudan CM of the Registration and Assessment results.
3.6.3 Exemptions
Exemptions are personal to each ACPA Member and are dealt with on a case-by-case basis. All Prospects and Members of ACPA are entitled to apply for consideration of exemptions at any time, subject to ACPA policy. Exemption Assessments for Sudan Prospects are normally valid for 180 days, whereas globally this is only 30 days. The Exemption applications policy is now split into two groups as follows:
  • 1. Global Exemption Policy
  • 2. Sudan Exemption Policy
3.6.3.1 NTC Student Exemption Policy
The Sudan Exemption Policy will apply to any Prospect who is residing within Sudan or who has been educated within the Sudanese Educational System and the qualifications being considered have been gained within that system. The Exemption Policy – for Sudanese qualifications - is defined as below:
  • 1. All entrants will be expected to have achieved a high-school education.
  • 2. Graduates from the Faculty of Economics will ordinarily be offered exemption for the following exams:
    • a. 1.3 Business Maths & Quantitive Methods
    • b. 1.4 Economics
  • 3. Graduates in either Accountancy, Finance, or Business Commerce will ordinarily be offered exemption from the following exams:
    • a. 1.2 Management Accounting

    • c. 1.4 Economics
    • d. 2.1 Information Technology
    • e. 2.2 Business Law

    • f. 2.2 Business Law
    • g. 2.4 Taxation
All Sudanese Prospects will be initially assessed by the Sudan CM prior to Exemptions Assessment by the Membership Officer and QA Assessment by the Examinations Officer.
3.6.4 Fees
All fees chargeable will be in-line with the ACPA Global fees policy (subject to any applicable “Sudan Allowance” which effectively caps the fees in Sudan at the 2010 level) detailed within the ACPA Prospectus. Exam and Exemption fees will be added to the Student’s account as and when they become due. All Sudanese Students and Members will be directly responsible to ACPA for settlement of their ACPA fees. Sudan Members may be eligible for the “Sudan Allowance”, which is effectively a discount for Sudan Members. The Sudan Allowance is only offered to Sudan Members that:
  • 1. receive their ACPA documents via the Sudan CM and
  • 2. Make payment of their ACPA fees via the Sudan CM.
Any fees charged by the NTC to the NTC Students for the delivery of tuition are to be dealt with between the NTC and the NTC Student. Under no circumstances will ACPA become involved with any matters concerning tuition fees between either of the two parties. ACPA fees due will be as detailed upon the ACPA invoice/statement sent to the Sudan Member and will not incur any additional handling or admin charges.
3.6.5 Payments
Payments by Sudan Members concerning ACPA fees should ordinarily be made to ACPA via the Sudan Country Manager. The Payment should be made at the same time as the application is submitted to the Sudan CM. The Sudan CM will be able to inform the Prospect of the amount due as a result of the Initial Assessment. The amount due will be confirmed by the issue of an ACPA invoice resulting from the main MO Assessment and Registration, and any difference will be credited or debited accordingly to the Members ACPA account. However; if agreed between the Sudan CM and the Sudan Member, the Sudan Member may make payment directly to ACPA if this is possible and appropriate. The Sudan CM is authorized to act as an intermediary between the Sudan Member and ACPA concerning the payment of ACPA fees, and will not add any additional fees to the transaction. Payments by NTC Students for course fees and other NTC related fees must be dealt with directly by the NTC, and under no circumstances will ACPA become involved with such transactions.
