Corporate Finance and Funding FastTrack Details

Working in partnership with two major accountancy bodies – ACCA and CIMA – the ACT has developed an accelerated course of study for those Members and Affiliate Members that wish to gain the AMCT Associate Membership qualification.

Qualified accountants are awarded credits in lieu of study against the four Foundation Papers whose content is covered within most accountancy qualifications. In addition to this, ACCA / CIMA Members and Affiliate Members qualify for the Corporate Finance & Funding FastTrack paper, which is equivalent to half of the standard Corporate Finance & Funding paper. These both considerably reduce the number of papers that a student is required to study for, from seven papers to two and a half.
