ACCA Accreditation and Exam Exemptions

The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) is one of the world’s leading professional accounting organizations, offering globally recognized qualifications in accounting, auditing, finance, and business. The ACCA qualification is highly valued by employers worldwide and provides strong career opportunities in international finance and accounting professions.

Building on its previous accreditation, the Faculty of Business at Izmir University of Economics has successfully renewed its ACCA accreditation as of 2026 for the Business Administration, International Trade & Finance, and Accounting & Auditing undergraduate programs. This renewed accreditation allows students who successfully complete specific courses within these programs to benefit from up to five exemptions from ACCA exams.
