Reputation and influence

The outstanding development of 2007 was the extension of the existing Joint Examination Scheme, with the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Cyprus (ICPAC). ACCA has a very strong relationship with ICPAC, which includes collaboration on professional examinations, CPD and audit monitoring services.

They held meetings with employers; attended a three day British Council Education UK Careers Fair in Nicosia; held four student PER presentations; and also met with T Phillipou, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Cyprus (ICPAC) CEO.
