Radu Maftei Finance & Accounting Associate Director, P&G Balkans

“ The ACCA Qualification helps significantly with the first pre-requisite of success: competence.”

Luke Falconer Finance Manager at Talk Talk, UK

“ The relevance of ACCA’s qualifications and the flexibility it offers to its members are key. With globalisation, we are seeing more mobility, and this has also created more excitement in the accountancy profession.”

Hooi Kok Mun Partner and Head of Assurance, SJ Grant Thornton, Malaysia

“ ACCA candidates tend to have a good understanding of financial accounting and management accounting – they’re quite well-rounded, which helps the business. Even if they don’t deal with certain aspects of the business every day, they tend to understand how the different parts work, which ultimately means they have the potential to progress quicker than other staff.”
