ACCA FIA (FOUNDATION IN ACCOUNTANCY)

ACCA Foundation in Accountancy (ACCA FIA), formerly CAT is a stand-alone foundation-level qualification under the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA). The ACCA FIA qualification is one of the fastest ways to obtain the ACCA professional qualification.

ACCA FIA consists of a suite of awards, including certificates, diplomas and a revised ACCA FIA Qualification. These flexible awards focus on the core skills of financial accounting and management accounting; and the wider role of the accountant in business at higher levels. The range of awards means employers can pick the level of qualification which most appropriately meets their business needs. In addition, it provides students with flexible entry points with certification awarded at each level, allowing students to tailor the awards, making them an attractive and relevant choice for employers. Diploma and ACCA FIA holders have direct entry to Skills of the ACCA Professional Scheme.
