Waterford city student Regina Carpenter has reason to celebrate after finishing amongst the world’s best in her accountancy exams.
An Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) student at Dublin-based online and blended learning college, Accountancy School, Regina achieved first place (both in Ireland and the world) in her Advanced Taxation (ATX) exam.
Viewing her result in context of the worldwide number of 500,000 ACCA students (approximately 8,000 of whom study in Ireland), Regina was one of three Accountancy School students to achieve a first place globally and amongst 30 fellow students to finish first in Ireland. All were recognised for their achievements at a ceremony in Dublin recently.
Congratulating Regina 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 worldwide 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.
