ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants)

ACCA Overview

The ACCA (Tuition for Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) qualification provides you with a sound base on which to build a career in finance or related areas. As an ACCA trainee, you will develop a wide range of skills, giving you an in-depth knowledge of accounting principles, management techniques and IT, enabling you to work in any area of finance and creating a world of opportunities for your future. The ACCA also offers a truly global qualification in which students can choose, in some papers, to be examined using international accounting and auditing standards. There are also Singapore variant papers in tax and law. This means that your ACCA qualification is truly portable, enabling you to live and work in many countries around the world.

The examinations cover all aspects of business management from the purely technical - such as bookkeeping and cost accounting - to the more theoretical aspects such as motivational theory and theories of risk.

"ACCA is the largest and fastest-growing global professional accountancy body in the world, with over 493,500 members and students in 170 countries. ACCA has an extensive network of almost 80 staffed offices and other centres around the world."
