ACCA focuses on the ‘big themes’ affecting the accountancy profession

18 March 2019

Ahead of its new strategic year, ACCA announces today a programme that examines the themes and issues that impact the accountancy profession around the world, now and in the future.

Every three months, ACCA will focus on themes that cover four broad areas:

·         the power of digital technology (April to June 2019)

·         the power of connections and partnerships (July to September 2019)

·         the power of ethics, trust and sustainability (October to December 2019)

·         the power of careers, skills and employability (January 2020 to March 2020).

Each theme will be the focal point for ACCA’s professional insights, alongside on-going developments to the ACCA Qualification. Themes will promote ACCA’s thought leadership, continuing ACCA’s commitment to publishing insightful and innovative reports, produced both in-house and in collaboration with employers and strategic partners.

April 2019 will see the launch of the first theme for 2019 – 20, ‘the power of digital’, arguably the biggest factor shaping the future of the profession and the future roles ACCA students and members will perform. ACCA identified digital as one of its seven professional quotients for success, which is included in its soon-to-be published research on machine learning.
