Celebrating Success Within ACCA
We’re delighted to share that the ACCA Practical Experience Requirement (PER) team has been recognised internally with a Top Hat Award. This award is presented annually to individuals and teams whose work aligns with the association’s core values and makes a meaningful contribution to the business. The PER team’s win is a testament to their excellent work.
At Axia Digital, we take pride in building digital solutions that have real impact. While we’re always pleased to receive industry recognition ourselves, it’s just as rewarding to see the teams we collaborate with celebrated for their work. This recognition from ACCA is a perfect example.
Streamlining the Practical Experience Requirement
In summer 2023, we worked closely with the PER team to enhance the system, bringing in changes to help streamline the process and ensure the rigour of the ACCA qualification. Most notably, sustainability has been embedded into the performance objectives, encouraging users to reflect on and document their contribution to sustainable finance. Additionally, the PER recording tool received a streamlined refresh, simplifying navigation and making it faster and more intuitive to log and manage practical experience entries.
These updates not only support ACCA’s commitment to real-world relevance, but also make the system easier to use, helping trainees focus on meaningful insights and progress. More details about these changes can be found here.

Reflecting on this, Axia Digital’s Managing Director, Richard Etheridge, shared:
“When we won the tender for the development of the PER tool in 2015, we were both delighted and to a degree overawed by the scale and complexity of the task we had been contracted to deliver. It was by far the largest project we had ever worked on in terms of scale and the amount of data we were processing. There are now over a million trainee accountants using the site from across the world.”
As part of the internal celebrations, members of the ACCA PER team received a symbolic addition to their staff lanyards: a miniature top hat. Fittingly, our own Development Team Leader, who led the project from Axia’s side, was also gifted a real top hat in recognition of the collaborative achievement. Congratulations again to the PER team. We’re proud to have played a role in supporting your success.
