ACCA Pakistan offers exciting new route into the profession

Product and pricing development created for the benefit of those looking to become qualified accountants

After consultation with key stakeholders, including students, ACCA (the Association of Charted Certified Accountants)announces today that it will be launching a new pricing structure to help people start their journey on a rewarding career in finance.

Sajjeed Aslam, Head of ACCA Pakistan, comments: “This is an exciting development for ACCA, where we have placed providing greater value at the heart of our offering to students. We have worked to ensure that the product and price is right, and we have done this by listening to feedback, especially from students.”

Our ‘even greater value’ proposition includes academic recognition at all stages of education from Intermediate all the way to Master’s level. It includes gaining a BSc in Applied Accounting from Oxford Brookes University at the same time you are studying towards the ACCA Qualification. In addition students can also earn a Master’s in Professional Accountancy from the University of London.

Employers and learning providers were also consulted on the development, which means that fees for students will be competitively priced, taking into account global foreign exchange rates.

ACCA has also introduced a new pricing structure for its exams. By modifying its prices, the global professional body for accountants also believes that employers who take on ACCA students stand to benefit.

Richard Staunton Head of Global Delivery, explained: “This is also great news for employers that already support and work with ACCA, offering our qualifications, and those that are considering working with us. The increased opportunities for students that the pricing structure offers will have a huge positive impact on organisations.

Mr. Staunton concluded: “We are wholeheartedly committed to building and sustaining the accountancy profession in Pakistan, a profession to which I am proud to belong.  ACCA has a treasured and long-held value – that of opportunity. Our new pricing structure is modelled on this value, as it offers more opportunities to study to become a qualified certified chartered accountant.”
