The Foundations Diploma was created after detailed consultation with employers, ACCA learning providers, members, students and other professional accountancy bodies and regulators. Youngsters increasingly aspire to have a qualification that is recognised globally, and gives them the chance to have a great career. Foundation Diploma will allow many students to have access to a global recognised qualification.

Foundations Diploma provides a solid grounding in financial and management accounting, and includes a module in professionalism and ethical behaviour.

Alan Hatfield concludes: “Foundations Diploma represents the building blocks of finance because it develops skills and competences tailored to the needs of employers, the public and other key stakeholders.

“But more importantly, professionalism and ethical behaviour is placed at the core of the awards – two attributes necessary in the fast moving environment in which the accountancy profession works. Through Foundations Diploma, ACCA continues to provide opportunities for talented people, whatever their background or prior learning, to progress to become a professional accountant. With ACCA, students may also acquire a degree en-route to becoming a professional accountant, offered in partnership with Oxford Brookes University - which now has over 10,000 graduates.”
