Chaired by Kenneth Henry, ACCA Council member, the Forum will host senior leaders of both private and state funded education from all corners of the globe.

Maggie McGhee, ACCA director professional insights, said: “The aim of the Forum is to develop cutting edge understanding of the issues affecting global accounting education, and I hope to use the content of our discussions as a basis for further research and to inform the way we develop and deliver educational products here at ACCA”.
