The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants

..

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.

Our globally relevant qualifications will give you an excellent start in core accountancy skills, or you can gain more specialist knowledge – depending on your ability and the qualifications you already have. ACCA qualifications provide everything you need – at any level – to build a successful career in finance.

We support our 147,000 members and 424,000 students throughout their careers, providing services through a network of 83 offices and active centres. Our global infrastructure means that exams and support are delivered at a local level, directly benefiting stakeholders wherever they are based.

Our focus is on professional values, ethics and governance. We use our expertise and experience to work with governments, regulators, professional bodies and employers to develop the global accountancy profession and to act in the public interest.

The ACCA Qualification develops accounting knowledge and skills as well as professional values. This means you can build a successful career as a finance professional in any sector.

There is a strong focus on professional values, ethics and governance. This is essential because the profession is moving towards strengthened codes of conduct, regulation and legislation. And there is an increased focus on professionalism and ethics in accounting.

ACCA has been actively involved in the unfolding debate on corporate social responsibility since 1990. We promote transparency and best practice, and aim to help businesses and organisations realise the growing importance of sustainability to them.
