Colleges offering ACCA in Kenya : Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQs)
Is ACCA marketable in Kenya?
For anyone who’s looking to work in the accounting field,
the ACCA is worth it.
The issue of whether it’s more marketable than CPA is up in
the air but what is important is this: ACCA is widely recognized by employers
globally- not just in Kenya.
Even if you have a CPA qualification, having an ACCA
certification on the side can sometimes make all the difference when applying
for those big finance jobs.
Of course, here at KenyaEducationGuide we keep saying
that no course is not marketable or 100% marketable- it all boils down to how
your package yourself, your career objectives, how determined to succeed you
are, and such factors.
