"Welcome
to Ghana"
Notice: Ghana registrations resumed...
In order to ensure full compliance with the National Accreditation Board of
Ghana (NAB) ACPA temporarily suspended all Ghana registrations on April 26th
2010. This action was deemed necessary by the ACPA Executive Board in order to
ensure compliance with the NAB rules for Ghana.
However; due to a high demand from Ghanaian Accountants wishing to work outside
of Ghana ACPA has now resumed registrations on a limited basis.
The ACPA Executive Board unanimously approved this policy change as appropriate
given that the ACPA examinations have been approved by the Financial Services
Skills Council (FSSC) in the United Kingdom since November 15th 2010.
Ghanaian Accountants seeking ACPA membership can once again do so if they are
considering working or studying outside of Ghana at some point in the future.
Ghanaian Accountants seeking ACPA membership should send their registration
forms, and copy documents directly to the ACPA Membership Officer. Instructions
can be found on the
Registration Page.
New Rules and a New Era for Ghana
The Association of Certified Project Accountants, incorporating the Association
of Certified Corporate Executive Accountants, are pleased to announce that ACPA
has recently applied to the
National Accreditation Board in Ghana to
be officially recognized as a Professional Membership and Examination Body
within the territory of The Republic of Ghana.
The application was formally made on September 21st 2009, and the negotiations
are being managed directly by our Country Manager Felix Hanson FCCEA, with the
assistance of two of the ACPA Ghana Council Members.
As part of our commitment to the Government and Accountants of Ghana ACPA has
introduced specific rules for Members and Students residing in Ghana, which
include modifications to; Exemptions, Membership Registration rules, and the
method and form of Examinations.
“Ghana is one of the most important emerging economic powers in
Africa, and ACPA wishes to be a part of a growing center of excellence
concerning the development of Project and Corporate Accounting within Ghana. We
are very confident that the Ghanaian Government, in this case represented by
the National Accreditation Board, recognizes the full value of Project and
Corporate Accountants and will support us in our efforts to introduce and
expand the awareness of these special skills and qualifications to the people
and businesses of Ghana.”
Robert Collings, ACPA Executive Chairman and CEO - September
21st 2009.
