Group of people sitting

"ACCA membership offers a vast network, and over the years I've had some wonderful interactions and opportunities to contribute through its panels. The real value is being able to go beyond your day job and annual subscription: connecting with fellow members, sharing experiences and bringing the challenges we see in our workplaces to the wider profession. The UK financial services sector is a vital part of our economy and a complex, highly regulated ecosystem. Our Panel brings together members from banking, insurance, investments, insolvency and governance to discuss the issues that matter, elevate members’ concerns and help shape ACCA’s thinking. If you want to contribute your experience, learn from others and make your voice heard, I’d encourage you to get involved."

- Victoria Gillespie (Chair - Financial Services Sector Panel)
