The Accountancy sector is a key pillar of Singapore’s global business hub status, comprising In-house Finance & Accounting (F&A) functions and Accounting Practices.
The Job Transformation Maps (JTMs), launched in 2022, highlight the sector’s ongoing transformation, driven by technology and the growing importance of skills in ESG, technology, and cybersecurity.
The CCP for Accounting Professionals enables employers to reskill in-service employees for redesigned or new accounting roles, equipping them with growth skills to stay future-ready. Participating companies will develop a 3-month, OJT-centric training plan covering at least two growth skills aligned with the redesigned roles.
Employers may refer to the following resources to guide job redesign and reskilling:
(*The CCP also supports employers in hiring mid-career individuals into accounting roles. For more information, please contact NTUC LearningHub.)
