An important part of ACCA's institutional work is to contribute to the debate on technical issues affecting business and accountancy and to represent the interests of its members in relation to the legislation and professional standards that they have to comply with in their work.
As well as working directly with government departments and standard-setting bodies, ACCA campaigns, where appropriate, in partnership with many different organisations. We also participate in the work of the major professional and business organisations both in the UK and internationally.
This section contains essential information on all these activities.
