ACCA (UK)

ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) is one of the world’s most respected professional accounting qualifications, recognised in over 180 countries and highly valued by employers across industry, finance, auditing, taxation, and business leadership roles.

With statutory recognition in the UK and Ireland it has the authority to license its members to work as registered auditors. In the UK, it also authorises its members to undertake insolvency work. Outside the UK, ACCA's are recognised under the EU's Mutual Recognition Directive and in many countries around the world.
