ISCA, Kaplan partner to grow accountancy profession in Singapore

They will be launching a 15-month programme for students, covering the learning outcomes of SCAQ foundation programme.

The Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) and Kaplan Higher Education Academy (Kaplan) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), creating opportunities for local and international students towards becoming Chartered Accountants of Singapore.

"This collaboration seeks to bridge the gap by offering Professional Certification Courses that equip graduates with globally recognised credentials,” said Dr. Susie Khoo, president of Kaplan. “It also provides a strong entry point for individuals from non-accountancy backgrounds to pursue rewarding careers in the field."

Under this partnership, ISCA and Kaplan will jointly launch a 15-month programme designed for both local and international students, covering the learning outcomes of the Singapore Chartered Accountant Qualification's (SCAQ) Foundation Programme.

As part of the programme, students will embark on the SCAQ exams and complete the ethics and professionalism requirements.

Upon completion, participants will be conferred the Professional Business Accountant (PBA) designation, providing a pathway for students towards becoming Chartered Accountants of Singapore.

The programme will also include employability workshops aimed at helping participants improve essential workplace skills such as resume writing and how to succeed at interviews.

Top performers of the programme may also be considered for employment opportunities with ISCA's wide network of over 500 Accredited Training Organisations, which span across sectors such as banking, finance, and accounting services.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
