  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I've only just started out with ACCA so my journey has just begun! I have started with FR and already it has been so beneficial to me and my work. I am able to understand a lot more of our processes. It really makes me value the time and effort we have to put into producing accounts.
