ACCA and UEH enhance opportunities for Vietnam’s future accountants

In a fast-changing and ever more digitalised world, the need for forward-thinking, innovative, and ethical finance and accounting professionals is more important than ever before.

Sharing the mission to ensure the accounting profession continues to maintain its reputation and impact, ACCA and the UEH have signed a cooperation agreement to roll out nine modules from the ACCA Advanced Diploma in Accounting and Business into UEH’s ACCA embedded accounting programme.

This means that UEH students on the ACCA embedded accounting programme will have the opportunities to gain ACCA Advanced Diplomas in Accounting and Business, Oxford Brookes University Bachelor Degrees in Applied Accounting, and UEH Bachelor Degrees in Accounting.

The students will only need to complete five more modules to acquire the ACCA qualification and become certified professional accountants within a significantly shortened period of time.

ACCA also recognises the cooperation agreement as a meaningful way of connecting industry to the education sector – with UEH‘s ACCA embedded accounting programme, students will be prepared for the working world and equipped with the relevant skills to help companies comply with both international and local practice standards while acquiring the knowledge and practical skills they need to perform.

ACCA's regional director for mainland Southeast Asia Renjith Varma said, “With a network of over 1,000 offices and 7,000 partnering companies, ACCA knows what employers and the marketplace are looking for. Thus, besides building a body of knowledge for students, the ACCA-UEH programme will also give them the needed skills to deliver on the job across various sectors."

“This cooperation agreement is another milestone in bringing global learning quality, prestigious career development opportunities, and enhancing the employability of UEH students,” he added.

The initiative between ACCA and UEH also aims to contribute to building competitive, competent, efficient, and ethical finance and accounting graduates who will be the next generation of national finance and accounting professionals to develop the profession in Vietnam.

Major boost for finance and accounting students During March and April, the Vietnam Association of Certified Public Accountants (VACPA) and a number of universities signed cooperation agreements to offer the International Financial Reporting Coordination Certificate (IFRS) course to students majoring in Finance and Accounting.
