Summary: | The study education and training of
accountants in Anglophone Africa examines the problems
facing the accounting profession and identifies examples of
best practice. One such example is the Zambia Centre for
Accountancy Studies (ZCAS). The objective of this study is
to address the problem of an acute shortage of qualified
accountants. ZCAS was established in 1988 with support from
the European Union (EU). The establishment of the centre
enabled Zambia to introduce a national accounting
qualification. The key lessons identified include: to
successfully introduce a national accounting qualification,
a country needs to have good accounting education, and
quality education has increased the number of accountants,
and improved the standing of the profession in Zambia. |
