ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) is one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing professional accountancy bodies, with 122,426 members and 325,606 affiliates worldwide. Founded in 1904, the ACCA offers the Chartered Certified Accountant qualification internationally.
Its membership of the Consultative Committee of Accountancy Bodies (CCAB) means that it is able to authorise its members to conduct audit, insolvency and investment business in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. However, legal recognition by government authorities and mutual recognition by equivalent overseas institutes vary from country to country.
