"I have over 12 years of experience working in the finance area. I always look for opportunities for professional development in order to meet the challenges that my career presents. I first heard about the benefits and the quality of the ACCA Qualification from my manager at PwC, who had already taken the exams herself and recommended the programme as a way to develop further my knowledge and skills. As I have ambitious plans for my career, I decided to start on the journey to becoming ACCA qualified so as to improve my technical knowledge and practice applying it in real life situations. The more I progress with the ACCA programme, the better are my decisions and the results I achieve at work. The combination of my continued effort, my challenging work environment and my dedication makes me very excited about what I can achieve in the future. The ACCA Qualification prepares students for C-level positions, as the skills it develops (including accounting, financial planning and performance management) are essential to lead a company. I encourage everyone who wants a successful career and more in life to challenge yourself and take this journey."

“I began my ACCA journey in March 2015. Currently I am working with Natura’s financial division. To support the development of new businesses and product innovation, I needed to strengthen my accounting skills. ACCA helped in the best manner possible. It not only made me fortify specialised financial skills such as cost composition, losses and working capital, it also empowered my ethics. In the ever advancing corporate landscape, accountants hold more power and influence strategic decision making. They are not just controllers but governance ‘keepers’ and valuable generation enablers as well. To edge ahead in such a competitive environment, you have to be attentive to the changing dynamics in the world’s economy, demographics, political and social scenarios. And, maintaining good technical skills related to finance and accounting goes a long way in career growth. I would highly recommend ACCA to everyone who is not sure about which professional journey they wish to embark on.”

“The course is very good and practical. It presents very important concepts that are not directly addressed in the standards. The conceptual basis that is provided is relevant for interpreting and applying IFRS. I recommend it to professionals who use financial information as an input for their analysis, such as appraisers and investment analysts, as it provides excellent material for understanding financial statements prepared under IFRS. The online course is very good and flexible, making it possible to take it anytime and anywhere.”

"I began my career journey with ACCA in March 2015. After completing my graduation, I needed a platform that would make me proficient in accounting functions and skills. Because I wanted exposure after having worked for a chemical company for three years, I wanted to be supported by a renowned organisation. And that’s when I enrolled for ACCA’s High Flyer Programme. It gave me exactly what I needed. With ACCA, I learned data analysis, reporting and resilience while continuing with my work. With the changing times, accountants are no longer the book keepers. They now rise to the highest positions in their organisations. This advancement requires professionals to have not just knowledge, but great skills as well. There is a need for professionals to keep themselves updated to the demands of the advancing profession. This will make them indispensable to their organisation and industry. With ACCA, you can be certain of a steady career growth. I recommend ACCA to every aspiring professional because it not just provides knowledge and expertise, it paves way for a plethora of opportunities too.”
