Foundations in Accountancy (FIA) is the new entry-level suite
of awards from ACCA which will first be examined in December 2011.
Awards include certificates, diplomas and a revised Certified
Accounting Technician (CAT) Qualification.
These flexible awards focus
on the core skills of financial and management accounting, and the
wider role of the accountant in business at higher levels. The
range of awards offers students flexible entry points with
certification awarded at each level, allowing students to develop
their education and skills, making them an attractive choice for
employers.
The range of awards also
means employers can select the level of qualifications which most
appropriately meets their business needs.

qualifications:
- Introductory Certificate in Financial and Management Accounting
