How is ACCA different from ACA?
Both the ACCA and ACA are very similar. The ACCA is the world’s largest and most recognised professional association; it offers flexibility and does not limit you to a particular sector, allowing you to work all over the world, giving access to a broader range of opportunities and roles. It also incorporates international accounting standards which means you acquire the correct skills to advance in what is a highly demanding industry.
What opportunities can stem from an ACCA qualification in the future?
Many individuals find it very daunting when completing their ACCA qualifications; however, it is very rewarding. Once completed, you hold a respected and widely acknowledged business qualification. This can open further opportunities, within many sectors such as practice, industry and commerce. It is a global accounting body, allowing you to work all over the world. Salary levels and career progression have been noted to increase on completion of an ACCA qualification.
