With ACCA, unless you pass the ethics module, no qu...

I've had a quick look around for information on CIMA/ACCA exams and was wondering if these qualifications are going to open up for more exam sittings per year instead of the 6 monthly periods. Maybe they do already and i've been reading the wrong pages. Thanking you kindly for any info Neil
