The ACCA Global Forum for Education

As the world’s most forward-thinking accounting body, ACCA is committed to delivering professional accountants with the skills that the world needs, today and in the future. With more than 500,000 future members in 180 countries, ACCA’s qualification and continuous learning are respected and valued by employers in every sector and region.

In meeting our commitment, it is essential that we understand the critical role that education plays in the development of professional accountants. The aim of the Global Forum for Education is to advise ACCA on all relevant educational issues, including the future of educational delivery and assessment for the next generational of ACCA learners, and the role of continuing professional development and its application in supporting ACCA’s membership. 

The forum’s members are drawn from a wide range of experiences and geographies, reflecting the worldwide reach of the ACCA and its qualification. The members provide their insights on educational developments, helping to shape ACCA policy, research and response, and to ensure that the ACCA’s syllabus continues to represent the most current and diverse qualification in accounting and finance. 

The Forum’s members use their expertise to consider the future of educational delivery and assessment for the next generation of learners. They share best practice from education providers around the world, and discuss innovative delivery and assessment models as the world of education and work evolves around us. 

The work of the forum is critical to ACCA’s objective of strengthening and building a profession that delivers a sustainable future for all.
