Institute of Financial Accountants
The Institute of Financial Accountants was established in 1916 and is the oldest body of non Chartered Accountants in the world. It represents members and students in more than 80 countries, providing qualifications for those wishing to work in financial management and continuous professional development for qualified Financial Accountants. The Institute sets technical and ethical standards for all their members.
Accountancy is a demanding yet rewarding profession. To achieve your full potential in this highly respected field, it is necessary to attain professional status and to hold a qualification tailored for the world of business. The Institute of Financial Accountants offers that unique professional qualification. A qualification that not only allows members to offer their expertise in accountancy to any business, but also enables them to demonstrate their proficiency in management and strategic skills.
Although businesses are now frequently looking for these combined skills, qualified candidates are still thin on the ground. A member of the Institute of Financial Accountants however, would be well prepared for this demanding role. The Institute provides a ladder to a full professional qualification, offering qualifications at three levels: Technician, Associate and Fellow. This enables a student to exit their studies at whatever level they desire according to their personal circumstances with a professional qualification. To be a member of a professional body, in an ever changing and demanding business world, is crucial. Not only does a professional qualification demonstrate competence to potential employers and clients, it also shows evidence of integrity and professionalism.
Another significant aspect of being a member, is the opportunity it gives you of updating and improving your skills through the continuous professional development programme. In addition to obtaining a professional accountancy qualification, students who have completed the IFA examination structure may also be eligible for a BA Honours Degree in Accountancy with a leading UK University.
