The Diploma in Investment Accounting is backed by The Chartered Institute of Bankers Scotland, The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland and Scottish Investment Operations.
 

Extensive consultation with the investment industry’s largest employers has shaped the qualification that will address a commonly reported skills gap - the absence of qualifications for new and experienced investment and fund accountants. The diploma will help to grow, develop and retain talent in the fund accounting area.


Diploma candidates will gain a solid understanding of the theory and practice of investment accounting in four key areas as highlighted in the syllabus.


The next course takes place in September 2010 - for more information view location/date/cost.


This should prove to be an invaluable addition to the courses available to employers and students alike. The opportunity to acquire a highly relevant qualification will further enhance the professionalism of both financial services businesses and their workforce.

"The Diploma in Investment Accounting is a great initiative for the Funds Servicing industry in Scotland. BNP Paribas Securities Services employs a number of people in Investment Accounting roles, from newcomers to fully qualified accountants, so each has varying developmental needs. The Diploma should benefit both us as an organisation and our people. It is a relevant, recognised industry qualification that can be achieved whilst working and offers either an end qualification or a stepping stone to further qualification. In my mind, it is a workable solution, filling the gap between the IAQ and fully qualified Accountants."
Stephen Donnet, Head of Glasgow Operations, BNP Paribas Securities Services
