The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) and the Malta Institute of Accountants (MIA) recently signed a new agreement extending the existing Joint Examination Scheme (JES) to incorporate ACCA’s Foundations in Accountancy suite of entry-level awards.
The agreement, which signals the continuation of a successful partnership working between the two accountancy bodies, was signed by ACCA director-Europe Roger Acton and MIA president Anthony Doublet in the presence of James Calleja, permanent secretary at the Education Ministry.
This new agreement takes effect from September 24 and any new students registering for the Foundations in Accountancy course after this date will do so under the JES. The first exam session will be held in December. ACCA FIA students will be notified by the ACCA. Questions may be directed to the MIA or ACCA.
