The Financial Modeling Institute (FMI), the only financial modelling accreditation body in the world, serving candidates in over 50 countries, announced today its collaboration with ACCA. The new partnership highlights both organisations’ commitment to provide the most relevant, cutting-edge education in the field.

“Financial modelling has never been more important for accountants, and our new partnership with FMI provides our members with the ability to further strengthen their value to any company or organisation,” said Reza Ali, Director of Learning and Commercial at ACCA. “FMI provides accreditation unlike any other finance qualification, it sets the standard in financial modelling because it teaches candidates to elegantly structure, efficiently build, and clearly communicate. This collaboration will have an important role in leading our members into the future of the accounting profession.”
“We’re thrilled to be able to partner with ACCA to provide them with a new accreditation that allows its members to clearly demonstrate their hands-on abilities,” said Ian Schnoor, Executive Director of the FMI. “We are committed to developing and delivering accreditation programs that allow candidates to significantly advance their careers.
