Lakshmanan Meyyappan is an Indian finance professional who attracted global attention after being recognized by Guinness World Records as the youngest male Chartered Accountant in the world. He achieved the record in Dubai at the age of 16.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How did he become a Chartered Accountant at 16?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Meyyappan’s journey began during the COVID-19 pandemic, shortly after he completed his 10th-grade board examinations. He began studying accounting and pursuing the ACCA qualification during this period.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He subsequently began studying for the ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) qualification. According to reports, he completed the qualification in approximately one year. He was still in school during this period.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His own LinkedIn post says that at 15 he had initially imagined pursuing swimming records, but a year later he had completed ACCA and received recognition from Guinness World Records. He also credited his teachers at PwC Academy Middle East for their support.<\/span><\/p>\n
