Hi guys,

An ACCA qualification is internationally recognised and is treated in many countries as being equivalent to a local qualification. The qualification covers all aspects of business management from purely technical (book keeping, cost accounting etc) to more theoretical aspects such as motivational theory and theories of risk. It has a very strong practical emphasis and covers all areas of business management.

The benefits to you include the following and above all, better prospects of employment:

- enables you to become a Chartered Certified Accountant, use the designatory letters ACCA, and work in any aspect of finance or management in any business.
- assures an employer that you have the skills necessary to progress to more senior management positions.
- higher status in the eyes of an employer, and also your clients
- gaining such a qualification is evidence that the holder possesses skills and knowledge which are in high demand by employers in industry, banking, auditing, consulting as well as other professions like taxation and law.
- candidates not only gain specialist knowledge in finance and accounting, but also acquire valuable skills in organisational management and strategy
- qualification is based on international accounting and auditing standards
- personal satisfaction of having acquired the business skills

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
Pat
