The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) is stepping up efforts to bolster the accounting profession in response to figures showing that accountants currently available in Botswana satisfy only 20 percent of an estimated demand of 3, 000.

Presently, ACCA Botswana has 2, 500 students registered in Botswana studying for Certified Accounting Technician and the ACCA professional qualifications.
