MSI Global Alliance and ACCA renew partnership to support talent in member firms
MSI Global Alliance (MSI), an international association of independent legal and accounting firms, and ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) have renewed their memorandum of understanding (MoU), continuing their partnership that began in 2018.
Pauline Javani, Interim CEO at MSI Global Alliance, and Pulkit Abrol, Director Asia Pacific at ACCA, signed the new MoU on 9 October 2026.
The agreement focuses on helping MSI member firms attract, retain and develop talent. MSI’s accounting firms will have access to the ACCA Qualification, its learning portfolio and CPD opportunities, as well as toolkits and guidance to help firms grow.
Building on a collaboration that has benefited both organisations, MSI and ACCA will also work together on thought leadership and speaking opportunities in priority markets. By bringing together insights from both the accounting and legal professions, the renewed partnership will support member firms to respond to changing client expectations, regulatory developments and future workforce needs.
Pauline Javani (MSI), comments, “Our member firms are navigating an increasingly competitive talent market while also dealing with evolving client expectations and regulatory changes. ACCA's qualifications and resources will provide our members with additional, practical support. Our partnership also creates a platform for members to share multidisciplinary perspectives and engage in meaningful dialogues on the challenges and opportunities facing the professional services sector.”
Pulkit Abrol (ACCA), ”We are pleased to renew our partnership with MSI Global Alliance. MSI's model of independent firms working together across more than 100 countries is strengthened by people who can work to a common standard wherever they are located. Since 2018, our partnership has supported that through shared resources and training for MSI member firms. As client work becomes more cross-border and the regulatory picture more complex, the firms that do well will be the ones investing in their people now.”
