The Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Accounting and the BBA in Banking and Finance, offered by the Department of Accounting and Finance at the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics (FBAE), Notre Dame University-Louaize (NDU), have been officially re-accredited by ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) for the period 2026–2030. This prestigious re-accreditation reaffirms NDU’s long-standing commitment to academic excellence, continuous quality enhancement, and alignment with international professional standards.
As part of this renewed accreditation, the BBA in Accounting has been awarded the maximum number of ACCA exemptions (9 exemptions), reflecting the strong alignment of the program’s curriculum with ACCA’s rigorous global professional requirements. In parallel, the BBA in Banking and Finance has been granted 6 exemptions, enabling graduates to significantly accelerate their journey toward professional qualification. These exemptions allow students to reduce the number of professional exams required after graduation and fast-track their pathway toward ACCA membership, saving both time and cost.
ACCA is one of the world’s leading professional accounting bodies, internationally recognized for the rigor, relevance, and global recognition of its qualifications. With a presence in more than 180 countries and strong partnerships with thousands of employers worldwide, ACCA sets the benchmark for excellence in accounting, finance, and business leadership. Its qualifications are highly valued by multinational companies, audit firms, financial institutions, consulting firms, and public sector organizations across the globe.
This ACCA re-accreditation significantly strengthens the international standing of NDU graduates, providing them with a distinct competitive advantage in the local, regional, and global job markets. It also reflects the continuous efforts of the Department of Accounting and Finance and FBAE to ensure that academic programs remain responsive to evolving professional requirements and market needs.
