Triumvirate Join Forces for Indian Training
The diploma provides extensive knowledge about the concepts, principles and applications of international accounting standards in the marketplace. Starting April, the staff will be trained by specialist finance and management tuition providers from GTG.
ACCA is the largest and fastest-growing global professional accountancy body and has 296,000 students and 115,000 members in 170 countries.
Commenting on this initiative, Piyush Mehta, Senior Vice President & HR Leader, Genpact said, “Genpact is pleased to offer its employees in India access to an internationally recognised qualification, in partnership with ACCA and GTG. This programme provides our employees with the platform to further their domain knowledge and augment their understanding of international accounting standards. This alliance is yet another step in our quest to facilitate growth and excellence among Genpact professionals.”
Andrew Steele, Head of ACCA’s Strategic Business Unit - Middle East and South Asia, said: “Modern day accountants are aware that the profession’s focus is shifting from national to international standards. As the business world shrinks, this Diploma equips financial professionals with the necessary knowledge and skills to enable them to operate even more successfully on the international stage.
The benefits of the DipIFR are therefore clear for a company such as Genpact, which has a global outlook and reputation. By signing-up its staff to study for the DipIFR, Genpact is investing in its people. It is also ensuring that the company continues to play its important role in a competitive global marketplace.”
Get Through Guides’ CEO, Vandana Saxena Poria said, “It is wonderful to see global companies in India realising the importance of IFRS training. GTG’s training programme will ensure that Genpact staff will not only learn international accounting standards, but are able to competently and confidently apply the standards with the same skill level as a seasoned IFRS professional.”
ACCA has designed the programme to be flexible, so that the diploma can be completed in three to six months. The candidates enrolled in this programme are assessed by a single three hour examination. Any accounting practitioner or auditor, qualified in accordance with national accounting standards, is eligible to take the qualification.
