SOEL - ACCA Collaboration
Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), was founded in 1904 and is 1 of the 3 bodies of Certified Accountants and Auditors of Great Britain. It has approximately 252,000 members and 526,000 students in 180 countries worldwide, actively contributing to the development of skills, abilities and specialized knowledge for a sustainable career in accounting, finance and management.
The collaboration between SOEL and ACCA since 2009 provides the following options:
- Those who hold the METKEL qualification may also acquire the professional qualification of ACCA, attending only 4 Professional Level courses of that body, sitting the corresponding examinations.
- Participation in the Joint Examination Scheme (JES). In this case, participants must attend and pass due courses in taxation and law in the Greek language through the SOEL professional examinations and all ACCA subjects except Law and Tax, in English. In this way candidates acquire the professional qualification of both bodies.
The Joint Examination Scheme (JES) SOEL – ACCA
Graduates of Universities and Technological Educational Institutes (TEIs), as well as graduates of Colleges recognized by Greek legislation (Ministry of Education), are eligible to participate, by completing the relevant declaration form.
The Joint Examination Scheme (JES) is approved by the Greek regulatory authority – (HAASOB). Therefore, those who successfully complete the JES program examinations meet the requirements of the professional examinations for recognition as Certified Public Accountants in accordance with Law 4449/2017.

In April 2019, an MoU was signed in London between SOEL and ACCA for the provision of the Certificate in IFRSs (CertIFR), for the first time in the Greek language.
The CertIFR offers a broad introduction to the field of International Financial Reporting and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS®).
