Overview of ACCA

• The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) founded in 1904 is the global body for
professional accountants. It is a professional accountancy qualification that benefits from global
recognition.

• It is one of the world’s leading and fastest-growing international accountancy organisations. The
ACCA qualification is recognised by employers all over the world and equips you to get senior
positions in accounting and finance. Becoming qualified allows you to earn an annual salary of up to
£65,000. As an ACCA member, you will have access to a global network of the most successful
accountants and a range of unique resources. These include free accounting and auditing advice, as
well as technical updates.

University.

The ACCA qualification requires students to complete:

Students are required to study and sit an online module in Professional Ethics. It is recommended that
it be taken at the same time as SBL.

PER is the vital part of the ACCA qualification. It develops trainees’ professional knowledge and values,
ethics and attitudes required to perform their work with professional competence.

You must have 3 years relevant practical experience, which can be obtained before, during or after your
exams. Trainees record their practical experience using Trainee Development Matrix (TDM) which is
the online tool designed for ACCA trainees that you must use to plan and record your workplace
achievement of the Practical Experience Requirements (PER). Performance objectives are identified,
reviewed and signed off by a work place mentor. ACCA has introduced Annual Return to track the
experience you have achieved during the preceding year, which has to be authorised by a work place
mentor.
