ACCA and AACSB International (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) have entered into a strategic partnership to support business and accounting and finance education, signing a three-year memorandum of understanding (MOU).
The global bodies will explore areas of common interest, producing research on topics such as the future of work, graduate employability, and career paths, as well as social impact.
Joint efforts will also include pursuing initiatives to support universities, examining the impact of AI on the learning experience in the short to medium term, and collaborating with key organizations to assess the future of accountancy education.
ACCA CEO, Helen Brand, said: “Accountancy is changing: accountants are driving sustainability, promoting social value and dealing with new ethical challenges, as well as enabling innovative technologies which are shaking up the world of work.
“Collaboration on equipping future generations for the opportunities and challenges ahead has never been more important, and we very much look forward to working with AACSB on this.”
