Use your online My Experience record to track and record your achievement of the performance
objectives*. This can be accessed via myACCA. Try to get your employers support to help you gain the
PER. You will also need to work closely with your workplace mentor.
Why is the PER important?
In order to perform effectively as an ACCA qualified accountant, you need to develop your skills in the
workplace as well as passing the exams.
The PER helps you to:
apply in practice the knowledge and techniques you are gaining through your studies towards the ACCA
exams;
observe and be involved in real-life work situations that help you to develop the skills, attitudes and
behaviours that a qualified accountant needs;
develop your judgment, encouraging you to reflect on the quality of your work and how you may improve
your work performance in the future. Employers expect ACCA members to show high levels of knowledge
and ability in the workplace, and to behave ethically. PER enables you to confirm your effective and
sustained high-quality workplace performance, making you a more valuable employee.
