I met acca STR requirements for membership. Also filled TDM Matrix and claimed 13 objectives but not yet signed off by mentor because his is on 1 year study leave.

I do not know if i can submit STR for membership before 31.12.08 or wait for the mentor next year Apr09. Not sure if STR wil be accepted if i have already claimed some performeance objectives which are not signed off by the mentor. My previous supervisor is willing to act as my referee.

Did you map your str objectives to the tdm, or had you completed your STR including the 3 years work experience?

I did not map . I completed STR and 3 yrs experience but did not submit the str.

as far as I’m aware you could bank that last year on your annual return, but i don’t know if you can do that now.  I would give ACCA a ring.
