The Approved Employer programme includes the following scopes of approval.
Single office
The approval will apply to all ACCA trainees or members working in relevant finance roles within a single office or location of the named organisation. This location should be the same as the stated organisation address. For example, all the ACCA trainees or members working in relevant finance roles at the organisation address provided.
Multiple offices
The approval will apply to all ACCA trainees or members working in relevant finance roles within some, but not all, of the named organisation’s offices in one or more countries. You will be asked to provide full address details for each of the offices to be covered by the approval within the online application. For example, all the ACCA trainees or members working in relevant finance roles in eight of the organisation’s ten offices across Europe.
Country wide
The approval will apply to all ACCA trainees or members working in relevant roles within any of the named company’s offices in one or more countries. You will be asked to provide a list of the countries to be covered within the online application. For example, all the ACCA trainees or members working in relevant finance roles in all of the organisation’s offices across Europe
Global
This approval applies to all ACCA trainees and members working in relevant finance or accounting roles within any of the company’s offices worldwide that share the same name as the main approval entity. The approval covers all locations where the organization operates globally. An employer with a global scope is considered to have a presence across two continents and in at least five countries. If an office has a different name from the main company, it is considered a subsidiary. Subsidiary offices are not automatically covered under the global approval unless they have been approved separately under a subsidiary request. The online application will include a section for you to pick the scopes that you would like your approval to cover.
