Nineteen people graduated as associate chartered accountants from the Institute of Accountants of England and Wales (ICAEW), during a ceremony held at Le Meridien Hotel.
The graduates become members of the highly respected institute.
The ACA certification was introduced in Malta in 2012 with support from large international accounting firms (including PwC, KPMG, Deloitte and EY).
Following an agreement in 2012, the Malta Institute of Accountants and ICAEW collaborated to offer Maltese qualified accountants increased access to the latest technical developments and thought leadership, and to work on regulatory issues.
This was the second ACA graduation ceremony on the island. ICAEW now has nine authorised training employers offering ACA training and there is an increasing demand from these organisations to employ more ACA students, which is good indicator of economic growth in Malta for the future.
ICAEW’s global growth over the recent years has been significant and ACA training is now offered in 18 countries throughout the world including Vietnam, Indonesia, Czech Republic and Greece.
ICAEW members are working in 154 countries worldwide and the ACA qualification continues to be recognised internationally as a leading business qualification.
