ACCA stands apart from the rest for five significant reasons:
ACCA stands apart from the rest for five significant reasons:
- Globally recognised qualifications
Our reputation and influence are respected worldwide. Our qualifications are based on international accounting standards but we offer adapted papers in financial accounting and auditing, and papers that test local law and tax. So you can feel confident that you have a globally recognised qualification that is relevant locally too.
- Strong focus on professional ethics
We are the only accountancy association with a mandatory professional ethics module as part of our ACCA Qualification exam syllabus. This is essential as the profession moves towards strengthened codes of conduct, regulation and legislation - with an increasing focus on professionalism and ethics in accounting.
- Versatile qualifications
Whilst some accountancy bodies focus on specific areas of accounting, we provide a qualification that can be applied to roles in financial institutions and public practice and finance departments within the public and corporate sectors. With ACCA you will be primed for a more varied career.
- Continuing support
ACCA recognises that its members perform many diverse roles globally and has developed a flexible Continuing Professional Development (CPD) policy that reflects this. Members are encouraged to think about what CPD is relevant to them and chose learning appropriately. CPD could be achieved through attending classroom-based training, contributing to technical committees, acting as a mentor or through on-the-job learning (to name but a few options). We will provide support to help you identify appropriate CPD and professional networking opportunities.
- Choice of specialist options papers tailored to career needs
In addition to completing performance objectives from up to five key areas as part of your Practical Experience Requirement (PER), ACCA offers students the opportunity to choose two final level papers. This choice is unique to the ACCA Qualification. You can choose papers in the subject areas you are working or aspire to work from the following list: Advanced Financial Management; Advanced Performance management; Advanced Taxation (available in nine different country-specific exams); Advanced Audit and Assurance. - http://www.accaglobal.com/en/qualifications/why-acca/compare.html
