International Certificate in Financial English

Accountancy has become an international profession alongside global finance and business. Developments such as International Accounting Standards (IAS) are establishing globally-recognised frameworks for financial reporting, providing professional accountants with the opportunity to pursue international career opportunities. It is therefore essential for individuals who wish to succeed in the global business arena to possess first-rate English language skills and the ability to converse with accounting and finance professionals within the international business community.

To meet the demand for helping finance professionals demonstrate that they have the financial English skills they need, University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations (English for Speakers of Other Languages) and ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) have combined their areas of expertise to develop the International Certificate in Financial English (Cambridge ICFE).
