What is ACCA?
ACCA is an acronym for the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is an international accountancy body. People who receive an ACCA qualification can have a rewarding career in the accounting, management or finance industries.
Please note that CIMA and ACCA are two completely different courses.
Students who register for an ACCA course have to pass a series of examinations in order to be eligible to become a ACCA member. You do not have to have a Matric certificate in order to start your studies.
