FAQs
Can I do Diploma in IFRS without a CA or CPA?
Yes, a chartered qualification is not mandatory. If you hold a relevant degree (such as B.Com or MBA Finance) and can demonstrate at least 2 years of relevant accounting or audit experience, or if you have 3+ years of such experience without a degree, you can typically meet eligibility requirements.
What is the pass mark for DipIFR?
The pass mark is 50, which means candidates need at least 50 out of 100 to pass the exam. Since all four questions are compulsory, time management and balanced attempt across the full paper matter as much as technical accuracy.
How many times can I attempt the DipIFR exam?
There is no fixed cap on the number of attempts. Candidates can re-book the exam in subsequent June or December sessions, although each attempt requires a fresh exam fee and renewed preparation plan.
Do I need to renew the Diploma in IFRS certificate?
DipIFR itself is a lifetime diploma; there is no annual renewal fee for the certificate. However, professionals who are also ACCA members or members of other institutes still need to comply with their ongoing CPD obligations to keep membership in good standing.
Can I get a job abroad with Diploma in IFRS?
DipIFR alone does not guarantee relocation, but it strengthens applications for IFRS-focused roles in regions like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and the UK. Community anecdotes show that Indian candidates with DipIFR often experience more interview calls for overseas or global reporting roles, especially when they also have CA, CPA, or similar core qualifications
What is the difference between ACCA DipIFR and full ACCA qualification?
ACCA DipIFR is a standalone specialist qualification focused solely on IFRS application and can be completed in 3-6 months with a single exam. The full ACCA qualification requires 13 exams across multiple levels (Knowledge, Skills, Strategic) and typically takes 2-4 years to complete. DipIFR is ideal for qualified professionals (CAs, CPAs, CMAs) who need IFRS expertise quickly without committing to a full chartered pathway. Full ACCA is designed for those building an accounting career from scratch and offers broader coverage including audit, tax, management accounting, and financial reporting.
Is Diploma in IFRS better than CMA for Indian professionals?
The choice depends on your career goals. Diploma in IFRS is better if you work in financial reporting, statutory audit, group consolidation, or plan to join Big 4 firms and MNCs requiring IFRS/Ind AS expertise. CMA (Cost and Management Accountant) is better for roles in cost accounting, manufacturing, budgeting, and financial planning & analysis (FP&A). For cross-border reporting and international mobility, DipIFR has stronger global recognition. Many professionals pursuing controller or CFO roles combine both qualifications. Consider your current role and 3-5 year career target before choosing.
