Sharpen your ability to think critically, solve complex financial challenges, and lead strategic initiatives.

The ACA Professional Level builds on your foundational knowledge, deepening your understanding of areas across auditing, taxation, financial accounting and reporting, financial management, tax compliance and business strategy. Focusing on complex decision-making, you’ll learn to interpret financial statements, assess risk, apply tax regulations, and audit accounts. Continue your ACA journey and get a step closer to becoming an ICAEW chartered accountant.

Note: Starting in September 2025, ICAEW is rolling out its new syllabus: The Next Generation ACA. Designed to prepare ICAEW Chartered Accountants with the skills of the future, it is underpinned by three key themes: ethics, sustainability and technology. BPP will be offering the new Professional Level courses from the March 2026 sitting. As each new level is rolled out, BPP will only offer courses for the new qualification, and recommend that students transfer to the new papers as soon as they are available, but will still be offering the old syllabus for a limited time.
