ACCA Foundation in Accountancy (FIA)

If you’re looking for a solid foundation in accounting and finance, the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) Foundation in Accountancy (FIA) is a great choice. Designed to provide an entry point for those with little or no accounting experience, the FIA offers a comprehensive range of courses that cover key accounting, finance, and business topics. With its global recognition and reputation for quality, the ACCA FIA is an excellent choice for those who want to start a career in accounting or finance. Plus, with the discontinuation of the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) qualifications, the ACCA FIA is an even more attractive option for those looking to gain professional recognition in accounting and finance.

Why FIA qualification?

No Entry Requirements

The FIA is an open-access qualification, meaning that anyone can start studying without any prior qualifications or experience in accounting.

Flexible Study Options

You can choose to study full-time, part-time, physical, hybrid or online, which means you can fit your studies around your existing commitments.

Start Early

You can start studying the FIA as young as 16 years old, giving you a head start in your accounting career.

Glad I chose Genesis Origo for my ACCA Advanced Tax (ATX) course with Mr. Low Chin Ann—and even more thrilled to have passed my final paper! The course gave me a strong foundation in taxation. Mr. Low’s teaching is exceptionally thorough—he covers the entire syllabus and breaks down complex topics into clear, manageable parts. He explains concepts clearly and connects theory with practical case studies, making everything easier to understand and apply. His classes are well-structured, engaging, and exam focused. Highly recommend his classes to anyone preparing for the ATX paper!

I registered for the full ACCA program and have completed almost all the subjects. During my time studying, I was very lucky to study with many experienced and dedicated teachers. Among them, I was especially impressed with Mr. Daniel Ho - who taught me P4. I planned to take the P4 exam in December 2024, but when I registered for the exam, I accidentally chose the wrong subject P5 (laughing so hard haha). After finding out, I texted Mr. Daniel. He was very enthusiastic and proactive in reminding me to contact the college for support in accessing online study materials until the end of March, because I would retake the exam in March 2025. During the review process for the retake exam, Mr. Daniel always texted to ask, encourage and remind me that if there was anything I didn't understand, I could feel free to text him. Last March, I took two exams at the same time: SBL and P4. Working and studying for the exam, I really didn’t have much time to study thoroughly. For P4, I mainly studied according to the mind maps and illustrative exercises that the teacher provided. The way he built the mind maps and explained the examples was very clear and easy to understand, helping me save a lot of time studying. I just received my P4 exam results a few days ago – and passed with a score of 66. I am truly grateful and appreciate Mr. Daniel Ho’s dedication to his students. I highly recommend anyone who is about to take P4 to choose to study with him – you definitely won’t be disappointed. I wish you all good luck in your studies and passing the exam!

The course materials provided were well-structured, detailed, and highly relevant to the exam, which gave me the confidence I needed during my preparation. I highly recommend Mr. Low Chin Ann’s classes to anyone preparing for the ATX paper. His dedication, clarity in explanation, and structured approach make a real difference.
