Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA)

Faculty of Financial and Management Accounting

Introduction

ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) is the largest and fastest-growing global professional accountancy body with 296,000 students and 115,000 members in 170 countries. ACCA aims to offer the first choice qualifications to people of application, ability and ambition around the world who seek a rewarding career in accountancy, finance and management.

ACCA supports students and members throughout their careers, providing services through a network of nearly 80 offices and centres. They have established more than 50 global accountancy partnerships, through which they deliver qualifications and a range of services which promote global standards, benefit the accountancy profession and enhance the value of accountants in the workplace. ACCA works closely with more than 470 registered tuition providers and nearly 8,500 employers of accountants and finance professionals.

Range of Qualifications under ACCA

ACCA uses its expertise and experience to work with governments, donor agencies and professional bodies to develop the accountancy profession. Their aim is to achieve and promote the highest professional, ethical and governance standards and advance the public interest. ACCA's reputation is grounded in over 100 years of providing accounting and finance qualifications. Their long traditions are complemented by modern thinking, backed by a diverse, global membership.

Certified Accounting Technician (CAT)

Certified Accounting Technician (CAT) qualification to prepare you for a career as an accounting technician

Whether you wish to start a career in finance, gain recognition for the wealth of skills and experience you have already achieved, or want accelerated progression to the ACCA Qualification and a more senior position in accountancy, ACCA's Certified Accounting Technician (CAT) qualification will help you pursue your career of choice.

To achieve the CAT qualification, you will need to complete a combination of nine (9) exams and one-year's practical experience, gained before, during or after the exams. The qualification is extremely flexible which will allow you to take control of how and where you study. The CAT qualification is highly regarded by employers worldwide and can lead to a challenging and rewarding career. For the ambitious who wish to pursue their career further, completion of the CAT qualification will give exemption from the first three papers of the ACCA Qualification and help you pursue your career towards becoming a professionally-qualified accountant.

The ACCA Qualification (Professional Route)

The ACCA Qualification is the professional route to which will help you reach the highest levels in accounting and finance. The ACCA Qualification will help your career progress in any organisation. It's an established route to professional status - allowing you to use the 'ACCA' letters after your name on successful completion. Globally, employers will understand and respect your qualification. You will be in demand for your finance and accounting knowledge and skills worldwide, regardless of employment sector. ACCA can offer you various entry points onto its qualification, depending on your age and previous academic qualifications.

Within the ACCA Qualification there is a strong focus on professional values, ethics and governance - skills which are essential as the accountancy profession moves towards strengthened codes of conduct, regulation and legislation with an increasing focus on professionalism and ethics in accounting. As part of your ethical development towards ACCA membership, you will be required to complete a Professional Ethics module in addition to passing 14 exams (nine of which are eligible for exemption) and three-years' relevant practical experience.

BSc in Applied Accounting awarded by Oxford Brookes University

ACCA will provide you with additional opportunities on the way to becoming a qualified accountant. Through the unique partnership with Oxford Brookes University, you can gain a BSc Honours degree in Applied Accounting either while you complete your ACCA studies or after gaining your ACCA Qualification. The combination of a degree and a professional qualification will put you in demand with employers and increase your career opportunities.

MBA awarded by Oxford Brookes University

ACCA and Oxford Brookes University have combined their strengths as leaders in international education to produce an MBA programme. There is an accelerated-entry route specifically designed for ACCA members which recognises and gives credit for aspects of your professional studies, making it possible for ACCA members to complete the programme in 21 months.

An MBA is the qualification of choice for senior management. Internationally recognised, it will enable you to meet the challenges of senior management with confidence, make an effective and broader contribution to your organisation, and build upon the skills you have already developed as an accountant.

The MBA is accredited by the Association of MBAs - a prestigious award in recognition of the programme's high quality and relevance.

Length of Study

The length of time it takes to qualify as an ACCA member depends on you.

The ACCA Qualification is designed to be flexible. Although we would always recommend you to complete the practical experience along with passing the exams, it’s up to you to decide how you study, how often you sit exams and where and how you gain your relevant practical experience.

You can take a maximum of four exams every six months and combining this with working full-time would also mean you are simultaneously gaining the practical experience requirement also necessary for membership. On average, an individual registering with the minimum entry requirements, working full-time and studying on a part-time basis would take approximately three to four years to gain their ACCA Qualification. However, depending on your previous qualifications and relevant practical experience, you can complete the qualification much more quickly. A graduate with a relevant degree and a couple of years relevant experience could complete the qualification in as little as one or two years.

On registration you will be asked to pay an initial subscription fee. Then on 1 January each year, an annual subscription fee will be due. As you enter for exams or claim exemptions, a payment will be requested.
