AIA chief executive Philip Turnbull's latest blog entry:

AIA continually reviews the services and products we offer, and has committed to developing new initiatives that will support students as they progress through their professional exams and embark on their career.

Accountancy is a diverse profession and each individual student will have different requirements; AIA provide the tools, resources and learning environment for all students to succeed and quickly enjoy the benefits of their expanding knowledge base.

As an AIA student you form part of a global network of accountants working throughout the full spectrum of accountancy, audit, business, finance, and economics and it should be your goal to join the many AIA members are at the top of their industry, from senior management to director level, representing some of the most important and profitable firms in the world.

With this in mind AIA have developed a new way of studying that will allow a greater number of people access to the profession and embraces our key principles of opportunity through learning, quality and support for AIA students. Our commitment to ensuring fair access to the accountancy profession has been illustrated through the introduction of the AIA Audit Scholarship which mitigated the financial barriers to candidates wishing to pursue a career as a statutory auditor.

In addition AIA's recognition within the QCF framework supports the need for a simple structure of recognising qualifications that in turn allows students greater flexibility through learning.

With this in mind I am looking forward to the 1 May when we will launch a new approach to study.

As well as my blog, you can also keep updated with AIA news by signing up for the free AIA weekly Accountancy e-News or connect with us through our social media channels.
