Finally, the delegation visited and held a working meeting at the headquarters of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA). The meeting provided not only an occasion for extensive professional discussions but also an opportunity for both sides to review their effective cooperation, a source of pride since 2017. This cooperation has encompassed improving the quality of education in accounting, auditing and finance, providing professional support for lecturers, and expanding international learning and career opportunities for NEU students.

At the meeting, representatives of the leadership of both organizations discussed the implementation of their cooperation agreements, particularly the delivery of the high-quality Auditing program integrating the ACCA qualification, support for lecturer training, the development of learning materials, and updates on new requirements in auditing. The two sides also agreed to expand the range of ACCA exam papers offered at NEU’s Center for Business English.
