Jam packed with numbers and amazing calculated decisions, the accounting industry brings together some of the best creative, skilled and working individuals the world has to offer.  Whether you have just started planning your working future and deciding which career path to follow, or have already been working and want to change direction, then why not consider accountancy as a career?

Organisations all over the world, large or small, in each and every employment sector and in every kind of business, need someone that can understand and manage their finances. Therefore choosing a career as a professional accountant will provide you with excellent job prospects and position you as an employee that is in global demand.

Whatever your career aspirations are, if you are serious about a career as a finance professional, you need to think seriously about a professional accountancy qualification.

And this is where we come in, we are ACCA, The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants. ACCA is the global body for professional accountants. We aim to offer business-relevant, first-choice qualifications to people of application, ability and ambition around the world who seek a rewarding career in accountancy, finance and management.

ACCA’s reputation is grounded in over 100 years of providing accounting and financial qualifications. ACCA was founded on the conviction that all people of merit and application are entitled to be given the opportunity to gain a professional qualification regardless of colour, gender or geographical location.

As a result we support our 140,000 members and 404,000 students throughout their careers, providing services through a network of 83 offices and centres. Our global infrastructure means that exams and support are delivered — and reputation and influence developed — at a local level, directly benefiting stakeholders wherever they are based, or plan to move to, in pursuit of new career opportunities.

However going global doesn’t mean that one size has to fit all. We offer adapted papers in financial accounting and auditing, and variant papers that test local law and tax. So you can feel confident knowing that you will have a globally-recognised qualification that will also be relevant locally too.

ACCA’s first office outside the UK was established in South Africa in 1913, in Johannesburg. South African accountants started to organise themselves as a profession at the turn of the 20th century and ACCA’s were amongst the founder members of the four provincial societies of Chartered Accountants that were formed at the time. These provincial societies were the forerunner bodies of SAICA, which came into existence in the 1980’s

Our focus is on professional values, ethics, and governance, and we deliver value-added services through 50 global accountancy partnerships, working closely with multinational and small entities to promote global standards and support.

ACCA South Africa is accredited with the FASSET SETA as a Quality Assurance Partner and the ACCA qualifications are accredited and registered with SAQA on the National Qualifications Framework.
