International Certificate in Financial English

Can you demonstrate that you have the first-rate English-language skills needed to communicate with international accountancy and financial professionals and succeed in the global business arena?

University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations (English for Speakers of Other Languages) and ACCA have combined their areas of expertise to develop the International Certificate in Financial English (Cambridge ICFE). Cambridge ICFE is an ideal qualification for anyone thinking of, or already pursuing, a career in accounting or finance. For the finance professional who is enjoying an established and successful career, it can be used to validate their financial English-language ability and provide proof of their linguistic skills and expertise. It is also ideal for candidates who can wish to embark on an accountancy or finance qualification, and will be a valuable addition to the CV of anyone starting their career in finance.

Successful candidates will be able to use the language skills they develop through Cambridge ICFE in practical situations, to participate in meetings and discussions of a financial nature and to express opinions clearly. They will be capable of understanding financial documents including statements, journal articles, letters, reports and proposals. Studying for Cambridge ICFE will help learners to improve their language skills and use them in a wide range of accounting and financial contexts.

Cambridge ICFE is available twice a year, in May and November, starting in May 2007. Visit www.FinancialEnglish.org for more information.
