Why is accreditation important?
To progress your career as an accountant, you'll need to do further study after graduation, whilst you're working. Combining study and work can be difficult,
so it's good to complete some modules whilst you're still at university. This also benefits your future employers, as they'll have less professional examination fees to pay.
