ACCA’s approach
ACCA has played a leading role in making environmental and wider sustainability issues a key concept within the profession since 1990. ACCA aims to promote transparency and best practice in reporting, auditing and research. It also aims to emphasise the centrality of ethics to professiona accounting and business through its qualifications and support to members around the world.
So key has been ACCA's role that in 2002 ACCA became the first professional body ever to be awarded the Queen's Award for Enterprise in the category of sustainable development.
ACCA is also represented on the following prestigious groups:
- the Board of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)
- the steering group of the Prince of Wales' Accounting for Sustainability project
- the technical committees of Federation of European Accounts ( FEE) and AccountAbility.
It has also entered into partnerships with FTSE for Good Group, Transparency International, the Environment Council and other organisations on sustainability related projects.
This section of the website provides information on sustainability activities that ACCA is currently involved in. This includes: the new ACCA Qualification, ACCA Sustainability Reporting Awards and ACCA's research programme.
