The ACA qualification definitely sets one apart, especially in the very competitive environment we now face. I didn’t go to university, and the ACA qualification opened the door for me. Whenever I am asked, even today, what my profession is, I always proudly say I am an ICAEW Chartered Accountant.

The ACA designation is a respected and recognised symbol of excellence, integrity and influence throughout the world. Join ICAEW through HKICPA's reciprocal program and capitalise on the combined strength of two qualifications to give you recognition with governments, regulators and business leaders worldwide.
