Foundations in Accountancy is being introduced after detailed consultation which
started back in 2008 with all ACCA stakeholders, including employers, learning
providers, professional accountancy bodies, students and members – so many
of you will have played a crucial part in shaping ACCA’s new suite of awards.
The purpose of the awards is to provide students with the opportunity to
build solid foundations in their accountancy knowledge and receive recognition
and reward for the levels they achieve. It also provides ideal preparation for those
who wish to progress to the status of qualified accountant and continue on to the
ACCA Qualification. The suite of qualifications has also been designed with
employers in mind, shaped to meet their business needs. This,
in turn, benefits trainees who gain any of the qualifications
within Foundations in Accountancy as they will have
qualifications recognised and in demand by employers
which may help improve their chances of employment.
