ACCA (The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) is the largest and fastest-growing international accountancy body offering the Chartered Certified Accountant qualification, with over 300,000 students and members in 160 countries. Based in the UK, ACCA has an extensive network of 70 staffed offices and other centres around the world.(ACCA Website: www.accaglobal.com)
The ACCA qualification is respected by multinationals and public-listed companies, professional firms, and government institutions worldwide for its rigorous, high-quality training. Studying with ACCA, and being able to complete its challenging programme, indicates to employers everywhere that you are a professional, technically competent, experienced enough to do your job. It is recognised by the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA) for the purpose of becoming a Chartered Accountant and is accepted by the Malaysian Public Service Department for the purpose of employment within the public service sector. Graduates of ACCA today are some of the most sought-after finance professionals in the world.
An opportunity to earn a BSc (Hons) in Applied AccountingACCA students can get an honours degree (i.e. Bachelor of Applied Accounting with Honours) while studying for the ACCA qualification. This is made possible through ACCA's innovative partnership with Oxford Brookes University (UK). To get the degree, students will have to satisfy the following:
Note: ACCA students will graduate with NOT just one, but TWO qualifications - the ACCA Professional Qualifications and a Bachelor of Science (Honours) Degree in Applied Accounting.
In selecting the right ACCA college, the critical factor to consider is its "LECTURING TEAM". ACCA is not an internally assessed qualification where lecturers set the exam papers; it is externally assessed and therefore the lecturers must be very knowledgeable and be VERY exam-oriented because the exam papers are not set by the lecturers.
The pool of such lecturers are small and Crescendo has gone to great extent to obtain well-known ACCA lecturers from Singapore and KL to lecture at the College. Some of the lecturers are themselves former Prize Winners or have produced Prize Winners before. Apart from the well-known 'fly-in' lecturers, Crescendo has also produced top ACCA lecturers who are now providing their expertise to other colleges in Singapore, KL and China. Students under their tutelage have also won ACCA Achievers Awards
Crescendo is honoured to have its own Johor ACCA students made it a leading ACCA college in Johor (and in Southern Malaysia) -- a testament to its meticulously selected team high-quality of lecturers. The standards of students registering with the College is also noteworthy. Many of Crescendo's ACCA students are graduates from various private and public Malaysian universities, and overseas universities (Australia, UK, etc) as well.
The College is also the first in Johor to conduct FULL ACCA papers, and it has been producing ACCA graduates since 2002.
The College has gone to great length to assemble some of the finest ACCA lecturing teams in Malaysia just for YOU - providing real value for money.
