LSBF Secures UTAP Funding for SCAQ Programmes, Renews Three-Year Partnership with ISCA to Strengthen Singapore’s Accountancy Talent Pipeline
SINGAPORE, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The London School of Business and Finance (LSBF) Singapore Campus has announced that its Singapore Chartered Accountant Qualification (SCAQ) preparatory programmes are now approved under the Union Training Assistance Programme (UTAP), making professional accounting education more accessible and affordable for eligible union members.
The milestone comes alongside the renewal of LSBF’s partnership with the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) for another three years, reaffirming both organisations’ shared commitment to developing a strong pipeline of accounting and finance professionals in Singapore.
With UTAP funding, eligible NTUC members can now enjoy additional financial support when enrolling in LSBF’s SCAQ preparatory programmes, lowering the barriers to professional qualification while encouraging continuous upskilling in line with Singapore’s national workforce development agenda.
The dual milestone reinforces LSBF’s growing role as a trusted education partner for aspiring Chartered Accountants and finance professionals seeking industry-recognised qualifications.
Expanding Opportunities for Future Chartered Accountants
As demand for highly skilled finance professionals continues to grow amid evolving regulatory requirements and digital transformation, the Singapore Chartered Accountant Qualification remains one of the country’s most respected professional credentials.
“As Singapore’s accountancy profession continues to evolve alongside technological and business transformation, it is important that aspiring Chartered Accountants have access to quality learning pathways that are both relevant and accessible. Our renewed partnership with LSBF, together with the availability of UTAP funding for its SCAQ preparatory programmes, reflects our shared commitment to supporting lifelong learning and developing a resilient pipeline of finance professionals equipped to meet the future needs of businesses and the economy.” — Zoey Xie, Managing Director, Academy Partnerships & Events, ISCA
Through its renewed collaboration, LSBF and ISCA Academy will continue to deliver SCAQ preparatory programmes designed to equip candidates with the technical knowledge, practical competencies, and examination readiness required to achieve the Chartered Accountant of Singapore designation.
The renewed partnership also paves the way for deeper collaboration in programme delivery, student engagement initiatives, and efforts to strengthen Singapore’s accountancy talent pipeline.
