The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) recently awarded the Chartered Accountants - ACA qualification to 13 members, CFAB certificates to 155 students and 26 BFP designations in Viet Nam.

In order to receive the world's leading prestigious professional qualification in the field of finance/accounting and become an ICAEW member with the title of ICAEW Chartered Accountant, these 13 finance/accounting professionals had to meet the requirements of professional knowledge, specialised skills, professional ethics, and work experience.

In addition, ICAEW also awarded the International Certificate in Finance, Accounting and Business (ICAEW CFAB) to 155 students in Ha Noi and HCM City who completed the programme in 2021 and 2022, increasing the number of students who have achieved this prestigious international certificate of ICAEW in Viet Nam to nearly 400 people.

These are skilled workers that are highly appreciated by major employers in Viet Nam and enjoy many preferential policies for recruitment. More importantly, the ICAEW CFAB certification lays the groundwork for students to complete the ICAEW ACA programme and therefore earn the highly prestigious ICAEW Chartered Accountant.

This is the first year that ICAEW has awarded the Business and Finance Professional (BFP), an internationally recognised professional designation from one of the world's leading professional bodies, to 26 experts in Viet Nam.

ICAEW is one of the oldest accountancy bodies in the world and has more than 195,300 members and students working and studying in 154 countries around the world. After nearly seven years of operation in Viet Nam, ICAEW has cooperated with more than 20 universities across the country, of which, 11 leading economic/financial universities in Viet Nam have integrated the ICAEW CFAB certificate into their training programmes. — VNS
