Who we are

Our sector panel is made up of ACCA members representing the education, national government, local government and not-for-profit industries, who come together to provide business insights, advice and support to advance ACCA’s strategy and member value in the UK.

"Being the Chair of the Public Sector and Not for Profit panel has given me the opportunity to leverage the minds of the brilliant accountants working in the sector to inform ACCA on the challenges faced by the sector. Being involved in the panels is a wonderful way to learn about other organisations, give back and grow your network."
Anna Hudson FCCA, (Chair - Public and Not-for-Profit Sector Panel)
