By GlobalData“The Advisory Board Centre is delighted to partner with ACCA to empower finance professionals globally. With their unique expertise, accountants can play a pivotal role in advisory boards – helping organisations navigate complexity, innovate and grow responsibly.”
Furthermore, ACCA members will be able to engage with an international network of business leaders, advisors and organisations seeking advice.
A dedicated hub will provide members with “curated content”, practical tools, as well as networking opportunities that cater to the advisory sector’s dynamics.
Additionally, the hub will provide a platform to foster the sharing of insights, enhance capabilities, and advocate for ethical and effective advisory practices.
ACCA executive director-relationships Lucia Real Martin stated: “I welcome this partnership and urge ACCA members who are working – or aspire to work – in the advisory space to become involved in this initiative.
“Our partnership with the Advisory Board Centre provides members with practical tools and connections to deepen their impact, and to contribute to sustainable value creation at a strategic level.”
Earlier this month, ACCA endorsed the Financial Reporting Council’s proposed UK Stewardship Code 2026, underlining the need for reporting by asset managers and owners that focuses on both actions and outcomes.
