Overview of your ACC Journey
Highlights
ACCTRAORDINARY 2025
ACCtraordinary 2025 was jointly organised by ACRA and Ngee Ann Polytechnic. This outreach initiative for the accountancy profession helped bridge education with the dynamic nature of this industry. Our student-led collaboration with ACRA connected talent across all polytechnics with top-tier firms, inspiring the next generation of professionals.
Tackling Climate Change through Reporting
Our final year Accountancy students were provided the opportunity to tackle climate change through corporate reporting. In collaboration with industry partners such as Grant Thornton Singapore, students were engaged in industry sessions covering sustainability reporting, focusing on climate and ESG topics. Our industry partners also shared real world applications and the latest developments in sustainability.
Armed with this knowledge, students worked on identifying climate-related risks and opportunities, and critical ECG factors, analysing their financial impacts on a company. Through group presentations, they showcased their research findings through actionable and innovative business strategies, whilst receiving valuable feedback from industry partners.
Impactful Internships
My six-month internship at PwC Singapore was the highlight of my time in BA. I could apply my skills in real-world settings and learn from experienced accounting professionals, which gave me valuable insights into the profession. NP also offered numerous opportunities for global exposure. I worked on a community service project in Vietnam, attended a course trip to Batam and took part in a study mission trip to the Philippines.
Further Studies
ACC is recognised by all local and many overseas universities. Many universities in Australia and the United Kingdom offer up to one year of exemption. You will also enjoy module exemptions for courses and examinations by the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA), Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), and Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW).
In partnership with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority and Workforce Singapore, NP has launched a 12- to 18-month work-study programme under the SkillsFuture initiative. This programme offers an accelerated alternative pathway for Accountancy diploma holders to enter the profession without a degree qualification.
