As an effort to provide deserving students an opportunity to pursue a professional career in accountancy, Imperium International College has recently launched its Study Now Pay Later financial aid for students who are looking to pursue ACCA.
This financial aid, which is only open to Malaysian students, will not only give them a head start towards a career in professional accountancy but also provide you with peace of mind thanks to its stretched-out 7-year repayment plan that is 100% interest-free throughout the course period. Currently for ACCA, students can only apply for financial assistance via the Employment Pension Fund (EPF) account 2 withdrawal.
“I was thrilled to find out about the Study Now Pay Later programme as I did not have the financial means to fund my education to pursue ACCA. Thanks to this opportunity by Imperium International College, I am now one step closer to becoming a chartered accountant”, said Maayurih A/P Arumaithurai, a student who received the Imperium’s ACCA financial aid.
Platinum Approved Learning Partner
Imperium’s Centre for Professional Accountancy successfully runs the ACCA Foundation in Accountancy (FIA) and ACCA programmes and has grown from a Gold Approved Learning Partner in 2011 to Platinum, joining an elite group of learning providers around the world.
To date, the institution has produced over 7 Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) world prize winners and Malaysia prize winners.
Ginny Chan, winner of the Baker Tilly award as the best graduate in 2018 said “My time at Imperium International College gave me a solid foundation in accounting and the confidence to put what I have learnt into action. The lecturers at Imperium are really dedicated and passionate. They assisted me with my studies and also gave me good advice on what I should do with my future”.
“I thought passing the ACCA exam was really tough, but with great lecturers and supportive staff, it made the entire process a whole lot easier”, she added.
Imperium International College also surpassed its Platinum pass rate targets in the last ACCA examination – surpassing the ACCA overall world pass rate by 25%.

Head of the Centre for Professional Accountancy programmes at Imperium International College, David Lam, is a Fellow member of ACCA since 1985 as well as a member of the Malaysia Institute of Accountants since 1983. Among his experiences include being an auditor in accounting firms, financial controller of Multi-National Corporation; executive director, mergers and acquisitions; executive director, Malaysian Institute of Accountants; director of marketing and executive director, China operations.

With more than 40 years of professional and corporate experience, Lam said the main mission of the ACCA programme at Imperium is to provide an all-rounded professional accounting education in a city campus environment whereby the students can build worthy networking and intellectual competencies to become future professionals.
Why study with ACCA?
The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), founded in 1904 is today widely recognised globally as a professional qualification, with 188,000 members and 480,000 students in 180 countries. It remains a qualification sought after by those seeking a stellar career path in accountancy and finance as it is accepted in 181 countries and thus is the fastest growing profession.
With its headquarters in London, ACCA has built up a formidable reputation and recognition among accountancy and business fraternity throughout the world. In terms of recognition, the ACCA Professional Level qualification is equivalent to a Master’s degree in the United Kingdom.
High paying career options
It offers employment as auditors, corporate and management accountants, taxation experts, business managers, financial advisors, and the list goes on. Currently, it is one of the most highly paid professions because of the rigorous nature of the exams and the global shortage of accountants.
Grooming future corporate leaders
Apart from excelling in their studies, ACCA students are active in their extra-curricular activities. They are trained to be future corporate leaders with communication, decision making, and team working skills via the ACCA Club.
Return in Investment
ACCA is among the best programmes in terms of return on investment in education. Students can progress from SPM to ACCA within a period of three to four years at very competitive cost vis-à-vis local university programmes. Graduates can enter the workforce with a professional qualification that gives them many options in terms of a career in the accounting and finance field.
For admission in the ACCA programme: two principal passes in STPM/A-level plus five credits in SPM/O-level including in English and Mathematics or five Bs in the UEC exam.
For admission in ACCA FIA (a foundational programme of the ACCA): five credits in SPM/O-level including in English and Mathematics.
