The new partnership between the University of Guyana and the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) is set to strengthen Guyana’s pool of skilled workforce needed to support its rapid development.

Addressing a gathering at the University of Guyana on Monday, Minister Parag said the introduction of the enhanced accountancy programme, which is expected to begin in September, represents a significant step for the country.

She emphasised that the partnership will provide students with a stronger pathway through a double award qualification with ACCA, giving graduates enhanced skills and international recognition.
