Dear Miss Phillimon
To whom it may concern
ACCA is a recognised chartered body in the UK, offering professional qualifications. The same qualifications using the same controls are offered globally and assessment is carried out by ACCA centrally without the use of any partners. Therefore, location of students is not relevant to the standard of ACCA's qualifications.
ACCA's Council is responsible under its UK Royal Charter to the UK Privy Council. Under the Companies Act 2006, ACCA is also responsible to the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) for the regulation of statutory auditors, making ACCA a Recognised Supervisory Body (RSB). ACCA is also recognised as a Recognised Qualifying Body (RQB) under the UK Companies Act 2006 and this means that ACCA has to set professional examinations which are at least equivalent in standard to those required to obtain a degree from a UK university. UK NARIC is the National Agency, managed on behalf of the UK Government, responsible for providing information, advice and expert opinion on vocational, academic and professional skills and qualifications from over 180 countries worldwide.
Educational evaluation from UK NARIC, confirms the benchmark of the ACCA Qualification at Masters Level, no matter the location of the student. Attestation of the ACCA Qualification's comparability to UK Master's Degree Level, is available from UK NARIC at https://www.naric.org.uk/naric/individuals/Compare%20Qualifications/Statement%20of%20Comparabi lity.aspx
More information on the recognition of ACCA and ACCA's qualifications is available here https://www.accaglobal.com/content/dam/ACCA_Global/Learning%20Providers/exempt/ACCA-Qualifi cation-Recognition-status.pdf
