Information on ACCA Wales

ACCA Wales was launched on 9 October 2001 with the official opening of the office by the Rt Hon Rhodri Morgan AM, First Minister of the National Assembly for Wales.

The office was established due to the growing numbers of members and students in Wales. These numbers have continued to grow and there are now over 4,000 students, affiliates and members in Wales.

ACCA Wales members are well represented amongst Wales's leading business professionals, the educational community and the public service leaders and are well placed to become an increasingly important voice in the Welsh business community.

The direction of the ACCA Wales office is guided by the 'ACCA Wales Steering Group'. This group consists of ACCA staff, representatives from the three ACCA Wales Members' Networks, Wales' International Assembly member and a ACCA council member. The group meets on a regular basis to discuss developments and future aspirations/concerns of ACCA Wales.

The overall mission of ACCA Wales is to:

• provide quality professional opportunities in Wales for ACCA members and students of ability and application throughout their working careers
• promote the highest ethical and governance standards
• work in the public interest of the people of Wales
  and
• be a leading player, at a national level, in the knowledge-based profession of the 21st century.

Our Key Objectives are:

• to be the leading professional accountancy body in Wales
  • genuinely influential with a powerful voice in the profession, business and the National Assembly of Wales
  • in a position to help shape the agenda on the key issues facing the profession in Wales
    and
  • an organisation with the profile and credibility which enables it to mount an effective lobby as and when appropriate
• to act as the benchmark for an effective professional body in Wales
• to be a quality organisation which continues to grow in every part of Wales.
