The Launch

The London Chamber of Commerce and Industry International Qualifications (LCCI) and MYOB Asia have announced the launch of the jointly developed LCCIEB-MYOB Computerised Accounting as an additional subject to the LCCI accounting certification programme.

The business and financial community can look forward to reaping the benefits of this first-of-its-kind collaboration between the two parties. This module will combine the best-of-breed expertise from MYOB, a prominent business management software company and the academic track record of LCCI, an international qualifications board.

LCCI General Manager for Asia, Sean Leslie and MYOB Asia General Manager, Bernard Yap both welcomed the partnership as it represents the beginning of a strategic alliance linking the education and corporate worlds.

LCCI-MYOB Computerised Accounting will be introduced regionally in 24 countries throughout Asia including Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Indonesia and the Philippines.

Mr. Yap stated, “We are especially pleased that this partnership began in Asia as it confirms Asia’s role as an innovator in the global education market. LCCI-MYOB Computerised Accounting combines LCCI’s century of qualification design experience and MYOB’s expertise as one of the world’s leading business software companies.”

Targeted to be rolled out throughout the rest of the world by the second quarter of 2004, Mr. Leslie said that LCCI-MYOB Computerised Accounting taps into existing demand for LCCI financial qualifications and focuses on markets where there is an awareness of computerised accounting. One of its main attractions is that it offers a certificated alternative based on the promise that LCCI is a passport to employment.

“Continuous development is vital in today’s rapidly evolving business world. LCCI always strives to ensure that students are competitive and up-to-date with international working practices. In light of the increasing demand for Computerised Accounting in the financial world, LCCI sought a technology partner with a strong brand to complement our range of financial subjects” Mr. Leslie said.

LCCI-MYOB Computerised Accounting is the computerised extension of LCCI’s theoretical financial papers and complements the accounting certification program because it gives students hands-on practical computerised accounting skills in a real-world business environment. It allows accounting professionals to keep up to date with the newest market practices in accounting software whilst being certified for it.

Current certificate holders may use this new subject with other LCCI subjects to combine for a Diploma or take it as a stand-alone certification. LCCI - MYOB Computerised Accounting is available for both Levels 2 and 3 and is ideal for:

• Accounting executives who need to update their accounting skills to the computer age
• Students entering the job market and employees who are keen to improve their career prospects
• Companies who demand competent staff qualified to international standards
• As well as becoming proficient in computerised accounting, students’ knowledge of MYOB Premier software and its in-built reports and business analysis tools will give them a real head start in today’s competitive job market.

LCCI-MYOB Computerised Accounting is assessed by practical assignments, which can be taken at any time and is supported by a comprehensive range of support materials including study materials, sample assignments and model answers.
