Weaving The Fabric of Tomorrow Together

The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) proudly presents the ACCA Asia Pacific (APAC) Dialogue 2024, a pivotal gathering of accounting and finance leaders and educators against the dynamic backdrop of Vietnam.
With the participation of Vietnamese officials and their counterparts from the region, CEOs, CFOs, global business representatives and top finance, accounting, and auditing experts, this premier event promises to ignite conversations and foster connections that transcend borders.

The conference theme “Giao” is an exploration of the interconnected threads that bind Asia Pacific’s diverse cultures, industries and aspirations. It draws inspiration from “Giao Lĩnh”, a Vietnamese traditional costume admired for its iconic interconnected sleeves – a fitting symbol of unity, collaboration and shared growth.
