ACCA now offers a range of foundation-level qualifications (FIA – Foundation in accountancy) which provide an excellent starting point for those who may wish to pursue a career in accountancy and become a professional accountant but may not meet the entry requirements to start their studies straight away on the ACCA Qualification. The range includes certificates, diplomas and a technician-level qualification (CAT).
