ACCA Certificate in Integrated Reporting
All you need to know to implement this radical new approach to annual corporate reporting
Preparing an Integrated Report requires a wide but specific set of skills. It requires cultural change, integrated thinking, communication, and appropriate management systems across the organisation.
The ACCA Certificate in Integrated Reporting includes both the Foundation programme - designed to help you understand the fundamental concepts and the benefits which Integrated Reporting can bring to your organisation - and the more advanced Practitioner programme, which focuses on exactly how to implement Integrated Reporting in your organisation.
