The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) has teamed up with the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) to allow dual membership of the two bodies.

Members of the ACCA who join the CII will be able to access support on issues concerning financial services and insurance as part of the recent agreement, reports FinancialDirector.co.uk.

In order to gain the benefits, ACCA members will need to pay a subscription fee but at a reduced cost and in return be able to attend workshops and learn online.

Clare Minchington, ACCA managing director of education, learning and development, said: "Continuous professional development is very important to us as a membership body and we work hard to ensure our members are supported in their need to advance their professional competence requirements."

She added that it was necessary for the association's members to stay up-to-date with regard to regulation and this could be facilitated through the new agreement.

The ACCA recently warned that accountants offering advice to the public will soon require supervision from a regulatory body.
