Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA)

ACCA trained professionals are the most preferred finance professionals these days. Their employers know their strategic knowledge, professional values, and, more importantly, their technical ability to deliver within every aspect and area of the profession.  The ACCA qualification consists of many multi disciplines and interrelated fields. With it, students will be able to account, finance, conduct business, apply corporate law, govern and even understand business ethics. ACCA embraces these skills through their modern work program in order to ensure a robust career for all students. 

ACCA graduates are conferred the title of Certified Chartered Accountants after the successful completion of the program. Afterwards, they will have an opportunity to evaluate and specialize in other areas of practice. These practice areas include Advisory and Consultancy, Audit and Assurance, Financial Reporting, Financial Management, Performance Management, Risk Management, Sustainability, and Taxation.
