ACCA

ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants)

The ACCA has over 300,000 members and students worldwide and offers a number of accountancy qualifications for those just starting their accounting career or to qualified professionals who want to extend their existing skills.

To qualify, you will take three levels of examinations and complete a minimum of three years supervised and relevant practical experience in accounting or an accounting related area. You will usually complete the accountancy qualification within three years although it can be spread over 10 years.

In the UK the ACA is often regarded as a better qualification than the ACCA.
