Kildare Town student, Colin Moloney has reason to celebrate after ranking amongst the best in Ireland and the world in his accountancy exam.
An Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) student at Dublin-based online and blended learning college, Accountancy School, Colin finished first in Ireland, and 12th worldwide, in his Financial Management (FM) exam.
Viewing his result in context, of the worldwide number of 500,000 ACCA students, approximately 8,000 of whom study in Ireland, Colin was one of 27 fellow Accountancy School students to finish first in Ireland. All were recognised for their achievements at a ceremony in Dublin recently.
Congratulating Colin on his result, Accountancy School managing director, Dave O’Donoghue said: “ACCA is a globally recognised accountancy qualification, and the key to a hugely rewarding career in accountancy and financial management, here in Ireland and internationally.
“Against the backdrop of an acute world-wide shortage of accountants, ACCA trainees, affiliates and members are in high demand throughout the world.”
