Global partnership presents new opportunities for affiliates

ACCA and the University of London’s School of African and Oriental Studies (SOAS) have signed a joint agreement to offer the Postgraduate Diploma in Public Financial Management, due to be launched in January 2007.

The agreement is part of ACCA’s strategy to link with internationally-respected universities and provide ACCA affiliates and members with opportunities to undertake relevant postgraduate training as part of ACCA's commitment to CPD. The link with SOAS adds to ACCA’s existing links with Exeter University, Oxford Brookes University, Saïd Business School at Oxford University, and the University of Cambridge.

The Postgraduate Diploma in Public Financial Management is designed to enable an individual to advise on and make financial decisions and policy choices in relation to the financing and management of public infrastructure and services. It provides invaluable preparation for high-achieving employees in governments, public services, international organisations and NGOs.

The programme is endorsed by ACCA and will be attractive to affiliates and members who wish to gain further education in public finance. All ACCA affiliates and members are eligible to take the diploma and will receive an exclusive discount of over 5%.
