The broad range of subjects is designed to ensure a depth of high quality, relevant knowledge which can be applied throughout your chosen career. IFA Recommended Reading (March 07)

The Financial Accounting Technician has an important role to play, either
as support staff to the professional (where they undertake sub professional work in the field of financial management) or by taking the
role of accountant in a smaller organisation, where an outsourced professional accountant provides the service of supervision and
monitoring. The IFA offers this technician grade qualification to individuals
who, for whatever reason, are unable to continue or do not wish to continue with their studies. A Financial Accounting Technician may use the
designatory letters AFT, and the title Incorporated Financial Accounting
Technician.

This is the first level of professional membership offered to individuals
who have not yet completed the full examination structure or do not possess the relevant professional work experience. An Associate of the
Institute of Financial Accountants has the level of competency considered
necessary to complete the final accounts of a business. They will have the
ability to interpret accounts, which will assist in day to day management
decisions. An Associate Member may use the designatory letters AFA.

This is the final level of the IFA qualification and demonstrates competence in all aspects of financial management plus the strategic management skills.

FFA.

Students
who have completed the IFA examination structure at Technician
and Associate Levels may study for the Fellow examinations with
University of Bolton through its open learning programme.
When completed, this would give them a BA Honours Degree in Accountancy
plus eligibility to apply to become a Fellow member of the Institute
of Financial Accountants.
A
degree partnership with University of Bolton will provide IFA members
and students with a route to a BA Honours in accountancy. Even
if you’re a
qualified accountant with years of experience, the idea of a BA Honours in
Accountancy can still seem appealing. An additional few letters after your
name certainly won’t do your credibility any harm; it might increase your
chances of promotion and better pay, and enable you to join some prestigious professional bodies. |
