Techcom Securities achieves market first as ACCA Approved Employer

On February 27 in Hanoi, the ACCA Approved Employer certification ceremony took place between the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) and Techcom Securities (TCBS).

The ACCA Approved Employer certification is a prestigious recognition granted by ACCA to organisations that meet high standards in human resource development and training in accounting, finance, and management. This certification affirms a company’s commitment to building a professional work environment, enabling employees to enhance their expertise and achieve sustainable career growth.

Speaking at the ceremony, To Quoc Hung, country manager of ACCA Vietnam, commended TCBS’s efforts in developing outstanding human resource strategies, continuously enhancing employee capabilities, and meeting the ever-evolving demands of the global economy.

“The ACCA Approved Employer certification is not only a proud milestone but also the beginning of a deeper collaboration between ACCA and TCBS,” Hung emphasised. “ACCA is delighted to welcome TCBS into the ACCA Approved Employer network. We believe this recognition will help TCBS solidify its foundation for sustainable development in Vietnam’s dynamic financial market.”
