Accreditation

The Future-Focused Finance Towards Excellence Accreditation process is designed to allow the FLC to give due recognition to organisations that have the very best finance skills development culture and practices in place. There are three levels, each designed to reflect the continuous development of your finance function and recognising the highest standards of financial competence and commitment to skills development. Accreditation lasts for three years, after which you will seek re-accreditation following the same process. Find out more about the process and key benefits of becoming accredited in our leaflet here.

The next submission deadline is 20th March 2020.
