Accountancy
Accountancy continues to be one of the most popular options for
young people who are considering their career options. In Malta the
accountancy profession can boast full employment.
There are various routes that an individual can take to become
an accountant. In Malta the main qualifications are ACCA (offered
by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants - ACCA), ACA
(offered by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and
Wales - ICAEW) and the Masters in Accountancy. The former are UK
qualifications that are offered in Malta by ACCA and ICAEW in
collaboration with the Malta Institute of Accountants (MIA), whilst
the latter course is offered by the University of Malta (UoM).
These qualifications are recognised by the Accountancy Board for
registration as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in terms of
Maltese law.
