About
ACCA
The
Association of Chartered
Certified
Accountants (ACCA) is the largest global
professional accountancy body, with nearly
300,000 members and students in 160 countries.
ACCA's headquarters are in London and
it has staffed offices in 31 countries.
In the UK, ACCA is by far the largest accountancy body
in terms of student numbers, and the second
largest in terms of members. It is, however,
the only body to operate on a global basis.
The ACCA syllabus has been recognised
by the United Nations as providing the
basis for a global accountancy qualification.
ACCA members enjoy wide professional mobility.
Founded
in 1904 in London, ACCA's mission is to
provide quality professional opportunities
to people of ability and application,
to be a leader in the development of the
global accountancy profession, to promote
the highest ethical and governance standards
and to work in the public interest.
ACCA
is governed by a Council all of whom are
themselves ACCA members from around the
world and who are elected by the whole
membership. There are no constituencies;
Council members therefore represent all
ACCA members. An International Assembly,
elected on the basis of national and regional
constituencies, advises Council and acts
as a channel of communication between
council and ACCA's global membership.
ACCA
Programmes
ACCA
offers three qualifications - a
Professional qualification entitling members
to the designation Chartered Certified
Accountant; a Technician level qualification;
and a Diploma for managers who are non-accountants
but who need to acquire operational and
strategic finance skills. For each of
these qualifications, ACCA combines
the benefits of traditional accounting
skills with a wide ranging and forward
looking syllabus, which recognises that
finance professionals are increasingly
required to demonstrate strategic thinking,
excellent communication, people skills
and fluency with information technology.
This was recently confirmed by a poll
of international business leaders commissioned
by ACCA from the independent research
firm MORI.
The
Association of Chartered Certified Accountants
