ACCA Maintaining Financial Records [FA2]

ACCA Foundations in Accounting (FIA)

The Maintaining Financial Records [FA2] module is part of the ACCA Diploma in Financial and Management Accounting (RQF Level 3).

Learners intending to obtain the ACCA Diploma in Financial and Management Accounting (RQF Level 3) would have to complete and pass this module along with the Managing Costs and Finances [MA2] module and Foundations in Professionalism. The Foundations in Professionalism module is accessible by learners through the myACCA online portal once they have registered with ACCA. Learners who have obtained the ACCA Diploma in Financial and Management Accounting (RQF Level 2) will not be required to complete the Foundations in Professionalism module again in order to obtain the ACCA Diploma in Financial and Management Accounting (RQF Level 3) qualification.

The RQF Level 3 qualification is suitable for anyone planning to work, or already working as:

a bookkeeper or cost clerk in an SME
or someone in an accounting administration role within an accounting department of a larger organisation

In financial shared service centres, this qualification would suit those working as an assistant to the financial managers in a variety of roles as it gives a good grounding in general accounting skills in financial and management accounting and provides the basis from which to progress to higher level learning and possibly to supervisory roles in the cost and management accounting functions of either service or manufacturing sector organisations.

Lessons are computer-based with instructor support to provide the most effective learning where assistance is provided when learners encounter challenges in the understanding of concepts or application of knowledge. This approach allows effective use of learners' time as different learners may encounter different challenges throughout the module.

Learning materials are crafted by educational specialists with decades of delivery experience in the UK through our exclusive collaboration with First Intuition (FI) which operates 21 study centres across the UK. Over 10,000 students use FI for their professional accountancy and apprenticeship training each year - achieving industry leading results.
