The ACCA – SOEL Joint examination scheme (JES)
Since 2008, the ACCA together with the Greek Institute of Chartered accountants (SOEL Σώμα Ορκωτών Ελεγκτών Λογιστών) has established the Joint Examination Scheme (JES) enabling ACCA students to qualify for membership with both institutions. Effectively, this has created a “Greek variant” of the Law and Tax papers (LW and TX respectively) giving the option to students to either sit for the International (where applicable), UK or Greek syllabus exams. However, the Greek syllabus for each paper is divided into 4 areas and examined separately. Students wishing tο become Chartered accountants in Greece (Ορκωτοί Ελεγκτές Λογιστές) need to pass the Greek syllabus exams.
