Subsequently ACCA signed an MOU with the University of Colombo recently. ACCA is confident that the MOU will strengthen the partnership between the two educational bodies to work together to explore the opportunity to grant exemptions for the graduates.

The outcomes of these activities will ultimately contribute towards the betterment of the accounting profession in the country. The MOU will also look at sharing information about ACCA qualifications with students of the University of Colombo.
