Plan, proceed and succeed

24 Jun 2009

ACCA is delighted to announce the launch of ACCA Compass, an interactive tool which allows you to assess your level of experience and skill and compare this to a recommended market average for 20 different job titles.

It is no secret that members who take time to review their development needs in advance of selecting learning activities are more likely to put together a development plan that not only improves their performance in their current role but can also help them move up the career ladder or take a sideways step into a role of greater interest to them. This tool allows individual members to undertake a competence self assessment process so that more focused professional development can take place.

ACCA Compass is not prescriptive, nor is it exhaustive; it describes up to 23 competencies (depending on the role) that are particularly applicable to various finance roles. Once members have undertaken their original assessment, they can then adjust their competency skill levels to reflect their current role and compare this to the recommended levels.

This tool has been specifically designed for members and is one of a range of new CPD products and services ACCA is making available as a result of feedback from members.
