AU B.Com (Hons.) IAF FAQs
Ques. What is the ACCA integration in B.Com (Hons.) International Accounting and Finance at Apex University?
Ans. The programme is designed in collaboration with ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants), UK, and ISDC (International Skill Development Corporation), UK. This means the curriculum is aligned with ACCA's global accounting standards, and students completing this degree may receive exemptions from certain ACCA papers (typically up to 9 papers out of 13), significantly reducing the time and cost to achieve full ACCA membership. ACCA is recognised in over 180 countries and is one of the most sought-after accounting qualifications globally. However, ACCA registration and exam fees are separate from the university tuition fee.
Ques. What is the difference between B.Com (Hons.) International Accounting and Finance and regular B.Com at Apex University?
