This institution recognizes universities that share ICAEW’s commitment to education in areas related to International Financial Reporting Standards and the high level of support they provide to their students during their studies.
Additionally, ICAEW grants “Partner in Learning” status to universities that can demonstrate a commitment to the institute’s core principles, ensuring a standard of quality for ICAEW certifications worldwide.
By granting “Partner in Learning” status to a university, ICAEW recognizes its postgraduate accounting programs as courses that provide students with the appropriate training to obtain the International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) Certification —the IFRSs learning and assessment program.
For this reason, graduates of the Specialization Diploma in Accounting, the Master’s in Taxation and Accounting Standards – IFRS, and the Master’s in Accounting and Finance have the option to obtain this international certification without undertaking additional studies by completing an online assessment in Spanish.
