ExhibitorsACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) As the international body for professional accountants, ACCA offers you more. more than just a good reputation. more than worldwide influence and career progress in any organisation. ACCA offers you the world.

Qualifying with ACCA is your first step towards a successful career in accountancy, business and finance. the breadth of the ACCA qualification makes it the perfect platform to launch any business career, and you will have the opportunity to acquire technical skills that employers are now demanding. Our qualification gives you the transferable skills you need, so that in the long-term you can apply for finance roles in any sector, in any business, anywhere in the world.

ACCA is the largest and fastest growing international accountancy body, with over 424,000 students and 147,000 members in 170 countries. studying with ACCA allows you to build a future that is diverse, challenging and full of opportunities.

there are three equally important elements to qualifying as an ACCA accountant - exams, practical experience and an online ethics module. the ACCA qualification really does give you freedom, recognition and the power to choose your own career path in accountancy, business and finance.

ACCA’s flexible approach equals freedom. internships at university can count towards the practical experience requirements of the qualification and enhance employability.
