Empowering ACCA Trainees and Members

• Trainee Development Stream:
  • ACCA trainees at Deloitte benefit from the firm’s collaboration with ACCA and its status as an Approved Employer under the Trainee Development (Platinum) stream, allowing them to claim exemptions from the performance objective component of their Practical Experience Requirements (PER).
  • Trainees pursuing the Certified Accounting Technician (CAT) qualification may also claim exemptions from the essentials and technical competencies of their Foundations in Practical Experience Requirements (FPER).
• Professional Development Stream: 
  • ACCA members employed at Deloitte can seamlessly fulfill their annual Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements using the ACCA Approved Employer route. This streamlines the process of CPD declaration, enabling members to focus on advancing their professional expertise.

Enhancing Partnerships and Opportunities
As an ACCA Approved Employer, Deloitte reaps the benefits of this partnership by attracting and retaining top talent, offering preferential rates on additional ACCA qualifications, and gaining access to cutting-edge professional insights. This recognition allows Deloitte to bolster its reputation as an employer of choice while ensuring employees are well-equipped to meet evolving market demands.

A Focus on Ethical Excellence
Ethical principles are central to the accounting profession. As part of the ACCA Approved Employer program, Deloitte has access to extensive ACCA resources to uphold these principles, further strengthening its ability to deliver trusted and reliable services to clients worldwide.
