ACCA Certification

The ACCA Qualification is structured into three progressive levels: Applied Knowledge, Applied Skills, and Strategic Professional. At the Applied Knowledge Level, learners are introduced to the fundamentals of accounting through subjects such as Business and Technology (BT), Financial Accounting (FA) and Management Accounting (MA). This is ideal for beginners or those without prior experience. The Applied Skills Level builds on this foundation with more technical subjects including Corporate and Business Law (LW), Performance Management (PM), Taxation (TX), Financial Reporting (FR), Audit and Assurance (AA), and Financial Management (FM).  

Finally, the Strategic Professional Level focuses on advanced finance and strategic decision-making. It includes two essential modules—Strategic Business Leader (SBL) and Strategic Business Reporting (SBR) alongside a choice of two optional papers from Advanced Financial Management (AFM), Advanced Performance Management (APM), Advanced Taxation (ATX), or Advanced Audit and Assurance (AAA).
