PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
ICAEW Chartered Accountants are known for their professionalism and expertise. Professional development prepares you to successfully handle a variety of different situations that you’ll encounter throughout your career.
The ACA qualification improves your ability and performance in seven key areas:
- Adding value
- Communication
- Consideration
- Decision making
- Problem solving
- Team working
- Technical competence.
ETHICS AND PROFESSIONAL SCEPTISM
Ethics is more that just knowing the rules around confidentiality, integrity, objectivity and independence. It’s about identifying ethical dilemmas, understanding the implications and behaving appropriately. We integrate ethics throughout the ACA qualification to develop your ethical capabilities – so in a world of scrutiny and accountability you’ll always know how to make the right decisions and justify them.
3-5 YEARS PRACTICAL WORK EXPERIENCE
Practical work experience, or on-the-job training, is done as part of a training agreement with our 2,850+ authorised training employers around the world. You need to complete 450 days, which normally takes between three and five years. The knowledge, skills and experience you gain as part of your training agreement are invaluable, giving you the opportunity to put what you’re learning into practice – all while earning a competitive salary.
ACCOUNTANCY, FINANCE AND BUSINESS MODULES
Each of the ACA modules is directly relevant to the work that will do on day-to-day basis. You will gain in-depth knowledge across a broad range of topics, allowing you to confidently progress through the qualification.
There are 15 modules with exams over three levels.
