ACCA newest corporate member

02 Oct 2018

The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) is a global professional accountancy body offering the Chartered Certified Accountant Qualification (ACCA or FCCA). ACCA has a powerful global presence within the profession and inspires members and students towards greater success and prosperity.

CIArb and The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) have developed a cost-controlled mediation scheme to resolve disputes involving members of the ACCA more quickly, cost-effectively and privately than they could be dealt with through arbitration or in the courts.

The scheme is independently administered by CIArb through its Dispute Appointment Service, which will appoint a suitable mediator from its panel of civil and commercial mediators. The scheme operates under a fixed fee structure, with the appointment and mediator’s fee varying according to the amount in dispute.

If you are an ACCA member, and wish to apply, please complete and return the application form below with the appropriate fee.
