ACCA & ICPAS Accountancy Information Forum
ACCA & ICPAS will be hosting a forum for members of the public to provide more information on becoming professional accountants through the ACCA/ICPAS Joint Examination Scheme (JES).

The ACCA/ICPAS JES offers aspiring accountants an excellent combination of relevant and practical accounting and finance training, helping to fill the acute shortage of qualified accountants in Singapore .

In the recent June 2008 ACCA examination session yet another 357 affiliate members have completed their final ACCA exams and will move on to become professional accountants
