On completion of the CAT examinations, students will be automatically transferred onto the ACCA Professional Scheme register, unless they indicated on the CAT registration form that no such transfer should take place. Transfer is not dependent upon obtaining any CAT practical experience and all transferred students are awarded exemption from Professional Scheme Papers 1.1,1.2 and 1.3. There is no additional registration fee to pay, nor will there be any charge for the exemptions awarded for Part 1 papers.
CAT students who are automatically transferred to the Professional Scheme are issued with a new student ID card and number, and have the opportunity to take ACCA examinations at the next available session. Students completing CAT examinations at the June exam session, for example, can tak ACCA Part 2 papers from December. CAT students who indicated at the time of registration that they did not wish for an automatic transfer to the Professional Scheme, can still opt for the automatic transfer if a written request is submitted to ACCA Connect before sitting the final CAT examinations.
以上摘自2005年8月份的ACCA学员杂志——《Student accountant》
学员在学完CAT后，自动转为ACCA的学员，除非学员在注册成为CAT学员时选择不要自动转会。从CAT成功转为ACCA的学员自动获得ACCA第一阶段（3科）的免试，不需交任何额外的费用，也无需交缴附加的注册费。（其它情况的免试均交缴与考试费金额等同的免考费）
CAT学员自动转为ACCA的学员后，会获得一个新的注册卡和注册号，学员在下一次的考试中即可参加ACCA的考试。如：学员在6月份通过CAT所有科目的考试，那么学员在同年12月份即可参加ACCA第二阶段的考试。在注册时选择不自动转为ACCA的学员，在参加CAT最后几科考试之前，也可以给ACCA写申请，选择为自动转为ACCA。
