ACCA & Kaplan - the future ACCA Qualification - Manchester

Join us for the future ACCA Qualification Breakfast Roadshows, a series of exclusive morning events delivered in partnership with ACCA, Kaplan and Hays, tailored for employers of all sizes across the UK.
Over breakfast, you’ll explore the future of the ACCA Qualification and what the latest updates mean for your organisation, including the modernised structure, stronger emphasis on applied skills, digital capability and professional behaviours, all designed to align with today’s evolving finance function.
You’ll also hear a dedicated update from Kaplan, where they will spotlight their market‑leading education technology and innovative use of AI tools enhancing the student journey. From adaptive learning pathways to dynamic digital content, they are not just adopting new tech they are shaping the way finance professionals learn, retain and apply knowledge, leading to more engaging experiences and demonstrable improvements in outcomes and pass rates. You can even try out the new digital first ACCA module whilst you are here!
In addition, Hays will explore how finance leaders can build future‑ready teams at a time when automation, AI and data‑driven decision making are fundamentally reshaping the finance function. We’ll focus on what this means for workforce planning, capability building and investment in learning, including which technical, digital and analytical skills are now critical across finance roles. Drawing on insights from the 2026 Hays Salary & Recruiting Trends guide, we’ll share a clear view of skills shortages, salary pressures and emerging roles – helping employers make informed decisions on developing, retaining and recruiting finance talent that can deliver value today and adapt for tomorrow.
Start your day with fresh insight, practical takeaways and the opportunity to connect with fellow employers and ensure your business is ready for the future of finance.
