Mangaluru, Oct 17: St Agnes College (Autonomous) has announced that two of its distinguished alumnae, Kanchana Maali Patil and Sheryl Sequeira, have attained the highly prestigious ACCA affiliate status from the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), UK.
This achievement stands as a testament to the college’s rigorous academic standards, the strength of its integrated ACCA programme, and the exceptional quality of its students.
The newly qualified affiliates have successfully cleared all the demanding ACCA examinations — a globally recognised professional milestone that ranks them among the elite in the fields of accounting and finance. Their success reflects dedication, intellectual perseverance, and a deep understanding of international financial reporting and global business practices.
Kanchana Maali Patil, daughter of Sharane Gouda M P and Meenakshi, is an alumna from the BCom (ACCA) batch of 2020. She has demonstrated the real-world value of the qualification by working as a senior audit analyst at KPMG, Bengaluru, even before clearing her final exams.
Sheryl Sequeira, daughter of the late Joachim Sequeira and Dr Shaila Sequeira, is from the BCom (ACCA) batch of 2022–25. A high achiever and student leader, she has served as the vice president of commerce (2024–25) and was honoured with the Best Outgoing Student of Commerce 2024–25. Notably, she continues a proud family legacy — her elder sister, Jennifer Sequeira, is also an ACCA affiliate and an alumna of St Agnes College.
