You’ve done the hard work – now go further!

Congratulations on completing your Diploma in International Financial Reporting (DipIFR). You’re already closer to full ACCA membership than you might think.

By completing DipIFR, you’ve passed the financial reporting (FR) exam – and your FR exemption is completely free when you transfer. And, for a limited time, any additional exemptions you’re eligible for are just £30.

Why progress onwards to the ACCA Qualification?

Go Global.

With ACCA members in over 180 countries, the ACCA Qualification is your launchpad to a truly global career. Recognised and trusted by top employers, governments, and universities worldwide, it'll open doors wherever you go.

Dreaming of the City of London? Eyeing opportunities in Lagos, Dubai, Dublin – or beyond? With the ACCA Qualification, the world is wide open. You’ll gain the skills, confidence, and international credibility to work at the heart of business, finance, and impact – anywhere on the planet.

Wherever ambition takes you, the ACCA Qualification gets you there.

Powering careers across all sectors

From cutting-edge tech startups and healthcare giants to government agencies and innovative non-profits, ACCA-qualified professionals deliver the financial expertise and strategic insight that drive success.

Recognised and respected worldwide, ACCA is your passport to a dynamic, rewarding career that spans every sector and every corner of the world.

Study ACCA your way – at your pace

No two career journeys are the same – and ACCA understands that better than anyone. That’s why the ACCA Qualification is designed to fit your life, not the other way around.

  • Flexible learning – full-time, part-time, online, or a mix of styles.
  • Multiple exam sittings – choose when to sit your exams and plan around work, family, and life.
  • Your rhythm, your journey – wherever you are, ACCA empowers you to take control of your learning.

With ACCA, you don’t just study – you build the career you’ve always dreamed of, on your terms.

Be the game-changer the world needs

The ACCA Qualification goes beyond traditional accountancy by combining core knowledge with future-ready skills to keep you ahead in a rapidly evolving world. Through cutting-edge technology, real-world scenarios, and continuously updated content, the ACCA Qualification sharpens your expertise not only in core areas like financial and management accounting, tax, and business law, but also in emerging fields such as digital finance, data analytics, and sustainability.

This balanced, forward-thinking approach empowers you to tackle tomorrow’s challenges with confidence, drive bold innovation, and lead meaningful change  – making you a true game-changer in today’s dynamic business landscape.

With ACCA, your learning stays relevant, vibrant, and built for the future.

Trusted by top employers for tomorrow’s talent
