Association of Chartered Certified Accountants

ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) is the global body for professional accountants. We aim to offer business-relevant, first-choice qualifications to people of application, ability and ambition around the world who seek a rewarding career in accountancy, finance and management.

We support our 131,500 members and 362,000 students throughout their careers, providing services through a network of 82 offices and centres. Our global infrastructure means that exams and support are delivered – and reputation and influence developed – at a local level, directly benefiting stakeholders wherever they are based, or plan to move to, in pursuit of new career opportunities.

ACCA has been involved in the area of intangible assets in relation to SMEs for a number of years, focusing on the importance of awareness raising, managing and valuing these assets. We believe this to be of crucial importance in helping small firms remain competitive in the knowledge based economy. ACCA has an active research programme, which informs our work in this area, such as the recently launched research report on Mediation and communication of intellectual property awareness by professional advisors, Robert Pitkethly, Said Business School, Oxford University, 2009
