Flexible?

At ACCA, we pride ourselves on the flexibility and adaptability of our professionals.

We make sure they have the skills to fit in any business environment because our qualifications don’t just prepare them for one or two sectors. Our trainees and members can add value in all roles, whether in practice, the corporate sector, financial service or the public sector. We even give our trainees who join us without a degree the opportunity to complete a BSc degree in Applied Accounting, awarded by Oxford Brookes University, on their way to getting their professional qualification.

This gives employers access to a pool of broad-minded, fully-rounded individuals, adaptable to any line of business.

What’s more, we reach far and wide and our statistics are impressive. ACCA is the largest and fastest-growing global professional accountancy body, with 296,000 students and 115,000 members in 170 countries and a network of nearly 80 offices and centres across the world. Our qualifications operate to globally consistent standards, providing the skills and values needed by all organisations, regardless of sector or country – and in many countries we also offer variant papers to suit local tax and law regimes. So ACCA members fit instantly into any business, anywhere.

And the great thing for trainees is that our qualifications give them the freedom to study and take exams in a timeframe which suits them and their employers. We provide trainees with the flexibility of studying and training at their own pace, in their own way.

So as an organisation we also pride ourselves on our own flexibility. We don’t literally bend over backwards but we are always willing to go that extra mile to keep everyone happy.
