AAA and ACCA will agree to share information with technical knowledge and professional development as priorities
All members of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) will be eligible to apply for and subsequently use the UAE Chartered Accountant designation.
This became possible after the ACCA and the UAE’s Accountants & Auditors Association (AAA) signed a partnership agreement to develop and support the accounting profession in the UAE.
Those aspiring for the UAE Chartered Accountant designation must meet AAA’s stringent membership requirements.
The agreement also includes the sharing of information between the two bodies with technical knowledge and professional development as priorities. Both parties will work together to ensure the training of internationally qualified accountants, providing services and support for members in addition to committing to a series of education events to ensure continued professional development.
The memorandum of understanding was signed at AAA offices in Abu Dhabi by Amna Al Mahri, AAA General Manager, and Fazeela Gopalani, Head of ACCA Middle East.
In a statement, the ACCA, which has 227,000 members worldwide, said it was committed to gender equity across the region within the profession and is delighted to work with Al Mahri, the first female leader within a Middle East national body.
