Who we are
Our sector panel is made up of ACCA members representing the public practice industry, who come together to provide business insights, advice and support to advance ACCA’s strategy and member value in the UK.
"The ACCA’s Practitioners Panel gives you a unique opportunity to be at the heart of what our Association does for its members in practice. From supporting the Association’s direction to support its members, through to providing on the ground input about what actually happens in the real world, you’ll be able to play a pivotal part in ACCA’s efforts to support practices across the UK. And what’s more, you’ll get to network with some of the leading practitioners in the country - I’m proud to work with such a great gang, and would encourage anyone to consider joining us!"
