The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) Pakistan and the Hailey College of Commerce, Punjab University, have signed an agreement by which 150 scholarships worth Rs6.9 million will be offered to the college’s undergraduates, graduates and alumni to study for the ACCA qualification.
