Who we are
Our sector panel is made up of ACCA members representing the public practice industry, who come together to provide business insights, advice and support to advance ACCA’s strategy and member value in the UK.
"ACCA’s Practice Sector Panel gives us a voice to share what life is really like for practitioners and feed that back to ACCA. With a new structure in place this year, we now have representation from across the UK, so every perspective is heard. Over the past year, we’ve shared our views on cyber security, the ethical use of AI, what we’d like to see in the Autumn Budget, and our thoughts on the future ACCA qualification. It’s a great community where we share insights to help ACCA better support us and I would encourage anyone to consider joining us."
Eriona Bajrakurtaj (Chair - Practice Sector Panel)
