ACCA Accelerates University MoUs to Strengthen International Professional Qualification Pathways Under 2026 Expansion Plan.

Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA). one of the world’s leading professional bodies in accounting and finance. has launched a new package of strategic agreements and executive initiatives in Egypt.

The organisation aims to enhance professional capability, modernise the accountancy profession, and align academic education with labour market needs. ACCA also seeks to strengthen Egypt’s regional and international competitiveness.

Strategic Collaboration with ESAA

ACCA and the Egyptian Society of Accountants and Auditors (ESAA) held a high-level meeting to deepen cooperation. Both organisations reaffirmed their strategic alignment and agreed to accelerate joint efforts to develop the profession in Egypt.

Mr Hazem Hassan, Chairman of ESAA and Chairman of KPMG Egypt, chaired the meeting. Joining him was Mr Kamel Saleh, Chairman of the ESAA Examination Committee and Managing Partner at Grant Thornton Egypt.

Also present at the session was Mr Mohamed Yehia, Director of the ESAA Training Centre. Meanwhile, Mr Mohanad Khaled FCCA, Managing Partner at BDO Egypt, will serve as the principal coordinator for collaboration between the two organisations.

Both parties agreed to launch an executive cooperation framework. They will hold focused working sessions to define priorities, set performance indicators, and create a practical roadmap.

The collaboration will:

Strengthen employer engagement
Support professional dialogue
Contribute to technical and policy insights
Enhance recognition and membership pathways
Develop the ACCA qualification to meet future market demands

This cooperation reinforces their shared commitment to raise professional standards in Egypt and align them with global best practices.

Expanding Academic Partnerships Across Egypt

ACCA continues to expand its university partnerships across Egypt. The organisation recently signed Memoranda of Understanding with two prominent universities.

These agreements build on existing partnerships with:

The American University in Cairo
The German University in Cairo
Modern International University
Alexandria University

Partnership with GIU

ACCA signed a Memorandum of Understanding with German International University (GIU). The partnership integrates global professional standards into academic programmes.

Prof. Slim Abdelnazer, President of GIU, signed the agreement with Mr Raymond Jack, Global Executive Director, Finance & Operations at ACCA.

Senior academic leaders attended the ceremony, including Prof. Dr Raghda El Ebrashi, Dr Sameh Reyad, and Ms Sanaria Essam Ali.

Mr Kush Ahuja, Head of ACCA Middle East and Asia, represented ACCA. Ms Nurihan AbdelBary, Market Development Manager – Egypt, highlighted the partnership’s strategic importance.

She confirmed that agreements signed in 2024 and 2025 improved graduates’ readiness for local and international markets.

Ain Shams University: Dual Path Programme

The Faculty of Commerce at Ain Shams University launched the “Dual Path Programme” with ACCA.

The programme allows students to complete their academic studies while progressing toward the ACCA qualification. This model strengthens integration between university education and international accreditation.

Tangible Impact Across the Professional Community

ACCA’s expansion goes beyond formal agreements. The organisation actively engages members and students. It also collaborates closely with Approved Learning Partners and employers.

Members increasingly recognise the value of the ACCA qualification. Many professionals transition from specialised certifications such as DipIFRS to full ACCA membership. This pathway expands career opportunities and enhances professional mobility.

Long-Term Commitment to Egypt

ACCA considers Egypt a strategically important market. The organisation continues to invest in academic partnerships, institutional collaboration, and employer engagement.

ACCA aims to:

Develop clear professional pathways
Strengthen recognition frameworks
Build a sustainable professional ecosystem aligned with international standards

The organisation also launched its official social media group in Egypt. The platform provides trusted information and strengthens engagement with professionals and students.

Through these initiatives, ACCA reinforces its long-term vision. The organisation seeks to strengthen Egypt’s finance and accountancy sector, support economic growth, and empower professional talent locally and globally.
