The SAB Campus of the Chartered Institute of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka) and the Association of Accounting Technicians Sri Lanka (AATSL) embarked on a new path in accounting recently by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at advancing and collaborating professional education.
The MoU grants exemptions for members of AATSL by way of lateral entry to the BSc. in Applied Accounting (General) Degree Program.
The primary objective of this collaboration is to enhance the qualification process for students aiming to obtain an accounting degree from CA Sri Lanka. By providing these exemptions, the MoU opens new avenues for AATSL members to pursue a globally recognised degree that is approved by the Ministry of Education and recognised by the University Grants Commission.
