About Us
Welcome to ACDAP, Pioneers in Digital Accounting Education. The Association of Certified Digital Accounting Professionals (ACDAP) is a premier digital accounting professional body with a strong presence in the UK and globally. What distinguishes us is our focus on integrating practical skills into our training programmes, significantly enhancing the employability of our students, professionals, and members.
ACDAP has recognised a crucial gap between academic qualifications and the practical and digital skills employers demand. Through collaboration with Chartered Certified Accountants and Auditor firms and in-depth consultations with leading recruiters, ACDAP has carefully designed qualifications that align with employer expectations and the evolving needs of the accounting industry. Moreover, our programmes focus on country-specific compliance, ensuring trainees are well-versed in the regulations and requirements of the relevant tax authorities in their country, i.e., HMRC, IRS, CRA, FBR, and FTA.
At ACDAP, we seamlessly integrate practical training, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application. This approach deepens students' understanding of theoretical concepts applied in practice. It helps learners provide a more engaging and effective learning experience. Providing hands-on work experience ensures that our students are well-prepared and job-ready.
ACDAP: Beyond Qualifications, a Career Solution
ACDAP is not just a qualification; it's a career solution. The built-in blended theory and practical training approach gives learners an edge in the competitive job market. Our trainees are equipped with hands-on practical accountancy skills and work experience experience, making them job-ready candidates.
Mastery of Modern Accounting Software
Our commitment extends to making students and professionals experts in modern accounting software. ACDAP courses cover a range of industry-standard software, including QuickBooks, Xero, Sage 50cloud, FreshBooks, BrightPay, Oracle Financials, Zoho Books, Wave, Tally ERP 9, Microsoft Dynamics 365, NetSuite, KashFlow, SAP, MYOB, FreeAgent, Odoo, and ClearBooks. Proficiency in these tools is crucial for tasks such as bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, self-assessments, final accounts preparation and tax returns.
Digital Technologies: Shaping Financial Professionals
In the modern era, accounting is considered the language of business. ACDAP recognises the ever-evolving digital technologies in accounting, which influence the future of financial professionals. Digital accounting involves the formation, representation, and transmission of financial data electronically, transforming the financial industry.
ACDAP vs. Other Accounting Bodies, Focus on Practical Working
ACDAP's digital accounting qualifications stand out for their focus on hands-on practical work. In contrast to other accounting bodies like AAT, ACCA, CIMA, and CIPFA, ACDAP ensures students are fully equipped with skills, knowledge, accounting work experience, and capabilities as job-ready candidates.
