Clones student Zoe Clarke has reason to celebrate after ranking amongst the best in Ireland and the world in her accountancy exam.
An Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) student at Dublin-based online and blended learning college Accountancy School, Zoe finished first in Ireland, and 8th worldwide, in her Advanced Financial Management (AFM) exam.
Viewing her result in context of the worldwide number of 500,000 ACCA students (approximately 8,000 of whom study in Ireland), Zoe was one of 30 Accountancy School students to finish first in Ireland. All were recognised for their achievements at a ceremony in Dublin recently.
Congratulating Zoe on her achievement, Accountancy School Managing Director Dave O’Donoghue said, ‘ACCA is a globally recognised accountancy qualification, and the key to a hugely rewarding career in accountancy and financial management, here in Ireland and internationally’.
Against the backdrop of what he terms ‘an acute world-wide shortage of accountants’, the ACCA programme and other linked courses provided by Accountancy School are ‘high amongst those that the school is proud to offer, not least for the fact that students consistently achieve high pass rates of up to 96 percent, and for the part the courses play in helping young people to achieve their ambitions’, O’Donoghue added.
