ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) is the global professional body for accountants and future finance leaders. We support 252,500 members and 526,000 future members in 180 countries, including 5,000 in Romania, who work across every major sector. Our mission is simple: help people and organisations thrive by developing strategic, ethical, and digitally fluent finance professionals.
Why ACCA now: international, modern, modular, made for change
Today’s finance teams have to thrive on automation, new reporting regimes, and continuous disruption. ACCA’s qualification and learning ecosystem are built for exactly this world:
Modern syllabus, refreshed regularly to keep pace with technology, regulation and markets.
Digital-by-design exams (computer-based, on demand at earlier levels; session-based for the strategic level) that test analysis, judgement and real-world application.
A signature Ethics & Professional Skills component that builds decision-making, communication and stakeholder influence—skills AI can’t replace.
Stackable pathways from Foundations to the ACCA Qualification, plus certificates and short courses you can slot into busy schedules.
AI, data and the new finance toolkit
ACCA embeds AI and data literacy throughout learning so professionals understand the tech, its risks and its business value:
Data, digital and technology outcomes are integrated across papers, not a bolt-on.
Content and CPD on AI use cases (automation, forecasting, narrative reporting), controls and assurance for AI-enabled processes, and governance/ethics for responsible adoption.
Practical focus: working with analytics, prompting responsibly, evaluating model outputs, and communicating insights to non-specialists.
Bottom line: graduates don’t just use tools—they know when to use them, how to challenge them, and how to turn outputs into decisions.
Built for business impact (not just exam passes)
ACCA is known for work-ready talent:
Practical Experience Requirement (PER): a structured, outcomes-based journey that maps learning to real roles.
Approved Employer network (global) that aligns in-house training with ACCA standards—helping companies attract, develop and retain talent.
Deep roots in SSC & BPO environments (globally and locally), where scalability, control, and continuous improvement are the norm.
For individuals: a career that travels with you
Whether you’re starting out or stepping up:
A globally recognised qualification that opens doors across borders and industries.
Flexible study options and modular progression—learn at your pace, build confidence early.
A lifelong learning pathway with CPD on the topics that matter now: sustainability reporting, data & AI, risk, regulation, leadership.
For employers: resilient teams, measurable outcomes
Consistent competence standards across markets.
Faster onboarding and shorter time-to-impact with people trained to think commercially, ethically, and digitally.
