Our Members, who are known as Chartered Certified Accountants, are employed in industry, financial services, the public sector, or in public practice. With statutory recognition in the UK and Ireland we have the authority to license our members to work as registered auditors. In the UK, we also authorise our members to undertake insolvency work. Outside the UK, we are recognised under the EU's Mutual Recognition Directive and in many countries around the world.

ACCA has had a long and successful history in Hong Kong since the setting up of its branch in January 1950. ACCA jointly worked with HKSA in the Joint Examination Scheme (JES) in training qualified accountants in Hong Kong for the past 20 years since 1982. In employers' eyes, ACCA is regarded as a prestigious, high standard and relevant international qualification in accounting and business. This recognition will certainly provide you with the opportunity to fulfill your career goals and aspirations regardless of your background.

ACCA is also the most popular international accounting qualification in the Mainland China. ACCA is known as a 'global passport' to international accounting and finance. Currently, we are actively working with CICPA to explore mutual exemptions between the two qualifications. ACCA has now nearly 43,000 members and students in Hong Kong and the Mainland.

Hear what employers say about ACCA:

Standard Chartered Bank
Peter Roberts, Group Finance
"The ACCA qualification stands for professionalism, understanding of the business and an international perspective which employers like Standard Chartered really appreciate."

McDonald's Restaurants (Hong Kong) Ltd
Keith Siu, Senior Director, Accounting
"It's not just about giving accountants a broad theoretical knowledge, but also the practical skills they need to strive the business."

Dell Canada Inc.
Ashton Dallsingh, Director of Finance
"The ACCA professional qualification uniquely combines technical ability with a 'big picture' view of accountancy. This approach enables individuals to develop careers in strategic management as well as the option to move into technical areas such as audit and risk management. Either way, ACCA members are equipped to provide leadership and add value to any organisation."
