The challenge

Success story 01As a global organization with networks spanning
178 countries, ACCA encounters obstacles which threaten to disrupt business on a near-daily basis.

The organization identified a need to further mitigate risk to their operations, ensuring members are appropriately regulated and maintaining the smooth delivery of its products and services.

For ACCA, enacting change across its vast international network in order to meet the requirements for certification posed a significant challenge. In adhering to standards, ACCA and its members can be confident that they are following best practice and prepared for the future.



ACCA used standards to:

Enhance resilience across all operational business areas

Promote confidence amongst internal and external stakeholders

Improve governance with greater visibility and insight

Provide structure and definition of strategic approaches


Solved with standards

Standards have had a transformative and accelerative effect on ACCA, with benefits including a more robust security framework, greater due diligence and a deeper knowledge of issues arising within the industry which can be utilised to support global operations.

With a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) in place and by aligning their procedures to adhere with standards, ACCA has seen a rapid decline in incidents and a diminished risk to their business processes. With better training for their employees and the adoption of cloud software, ACCA are well positioned to identify issues and overcome them before they arise.



Setting the standard for success

Standards enable you to:


Find out everything currently known in any particular area or on a specific subject - especially valuable for SMEs who don’t always have the resources of larger organizations.

Ensure you’re following the best practice for your industry. It’s faster and more cost-effective to demonstrate compliance with recognized standards.

Set the bar for everything but most importantly for safety. Standards show what is known to be safe at any given point in time, which gives companies and consumers confidence in their products.
