Historic World ACCA Win for UiTM Student

The Faculty of Accountancy at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Malaysia, has celebrated an extraordinary academic milestone with Muhammad Danial Adzha Syamsul Adzha. Graduating from the Bachelor of Accountancy (Honours) Professional Pathway (AC220) at UiTM Cawangan Selangor, Kampus Puncak Alam, Danial completed his undergraduate studies with the prestigious Vice-Chancellor’s Award (Anugerah Naib Canselor) while earning global recognition as an ACCA Top Prize winner.


In the globally administered Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) September 2026 examination sitting, Danial placed Rank 1 in Malaysia and Rank 5 in the World for the Advanced Performance Management (APM) paper.


This accomplishment represents a historic first for the faculty’s flagship AC220 professional pathway, which integrates an undergraduate degree directly with external professional qualifications. Concurrently balancing rigorous degree modules with the demanding requirements of ACCA’s APM paper, a syllabus globally recognized for its strategic complexity and competitive pass rates, Daniel’s performance sets a new benchmark for undergraduate achievement.


Danial’s success was supported by dedicated mentorship from the faculty, notably his lecturer, Puan Nor Adila Zulkifli. Earning the university's highest academic honor alongside a top-five global ranking highlights the standard of excellence fostered by UiTM's academic environment.


This milestone further reinforces the faculty's guiding tagline, “Accountants for Tomorrow: Global Expertise, Value-Driven Impact”, proving that homegrown academic pathways cultivate world-class talent capable of competing on the international stage.
