Account/Membership Information

How do I create an account?

If you are an ACCA member you will already have an account, therefore please log in using your membership number and use the ‘forgotten password’ prompt if required.

If you are not an ACCA member please go to the event webpage that you would like to attend and scroll to the bottom of the page. Here, you can select the ‘Register for an Account’ button and complete the form. Please note that any fields with a red asterisk are compulsory.

Once completed you will receive an email which you have registered with confirming registration and username.

How do I log in to my account?

Select the red ‘Login’ button and add your username and password when prompted.

I can’t remember my username/password

If you are an ACCA member this would be your membership number

If you are not an ACCA member, your username will be stated within the registration confirmation email that you have received.

If you are unsure please select the ‘forgotten username/password' prompt on the log in page.

How do I make changes to my account?

To update your account/member information you will need to be logged in.

Once logged in, navigate to the ‘Account’ menu and then from the drop down list select ‘My Account’

Please note that as this is linked to your MyACCA account, you will not be able to amend the following information:

• Title
• First name
• Last name

Please contact the Connect Team on +44 (0)141 582 2000 for assistance with these changes.

How do I download my attendance certificate? (if applicable)

If the course you are attending provides attendance certificates, these will be available within the ‘My Account' section of your profile. To access your attendance certificate, please login into your account, and follow the steps below:

1. select Account
2. select My Account
3. select Print which shows below My Certificates

If someone else has booked your place for you on an event, the certificate will be stored within their account and you will not have access to download this within your own account and you should contact them directly. 

What if my name is incorrect on my attendance certificate?

The name on your attendance certificate matches the name on your MyACCA account. Please ensure the name on your MyACCA account is correct in order for this to be reflected on your certificate.
