Why Acca?

 

ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) is the global body for professional accountants.

We aim to offer business-relevant, first-choice qualifications to people of application, ability and ambition around the world who seek a rewarding career in accountancy, finance and management. Both our reputation and influence are respected worldwide by employers, governments and the profession itself.

ACCA has been around for over 100 years, which means our growth is backed by a solid history. Our reputation for excellence in qualifications and training is acknowledged around the world, which will have a positive impact on your reputation in the profession.

Our qualifications are examined in over 170 countries and based on international accounting standards. But going global doesn’t mean that one size has to fit all. We offer adapted papers in financial accounting and auditing, and variant papers that test local law and tax. So you can feel confident knowing that you will have a globally-recognised qualification that will also be relevant locally too.

As a professional you will be expected to ensure your knowledge and skills are relevant to the constantly changing needs of the market. Professional development will play a major part in your career, giving you opportunities to further enhance your skills and knowledge. And we will be supporting you on your way to qualification and beyond.
