The Saudi Organization for Chartered and Professional Accountants (SOCPA) will make its Fellowship available internationally by offering the exam in English alongside Arabic, marking a strategic step that positions the qualification among the world's leading professional qualifications and reinforces the Kingdom's strong standing in the accounting profession.

With this change, accountants and professionals from any country can earn the Fellowship by completing the program and taking the exam in English, starting with the third sitting of 2025, scheduled for September.

The SOCPA Fellowship has gained recognition from respected professional bodies around the world for its rigorous standards and advanced curriculum, making it one of the most sought-after qualifications in accounting and auditing.

SOCPA will continue to offer the exam in both Arabic and English in future sittings, giving candidates the flexibility to choose their preferred language.

The Fellowship includes six main subjects: Financial Accounting, Managerial and Governmental Accounting, Auditing, Zakat and Tax, Business Environment, and Regulations. It combines academic study with practical application, preparing members for professional practice and leadership roles in both the public and private sectors.
