ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) is an internationally recognised professional accounting qualification. It is suitable for a wide variety of accounting roles in both the public and private sectors.

The ACCA Qualification is a three-part journey to ACCA membership, consisting of 13 professional exams, an Ethics and Professional Skills module, and the Practical Experience Requirement.

The professional exams are the cornerstone of the qualification and are divided into three sections – Applied Knowledge, Applied Skills, and Professional skills. The Knowledge section covers fundamental accounting topics, such as financial reporting and auditing. The Skills section covers other areas such as taxation, performance management, financial management, and more. The Strategic Professional exams prepare students for future leadership positions.

The Ethics and Professional Skills module is designed to ensure ACCA members have a strong ethical compass and are able to exercise professional judgment in their everyday practice.

Finally, the Practical Experience Requirement ensures that ACCA members are able to apply their knowledge in real-world settings. This requirement involves a minimum of three years of supervised professional experience and achieving 9 performance objectives.

Overall, the ACCA Qualification is designed to ensure that members are equipped with the knowledge, skill, and ethical experience to work as professional accountants.
