Hi Meowme
I thought i was passionate about my chosen path but in the
end... it was something carved out of figments of society after
years of conditioning. It is only when you are actually in it and
doing it, that you begin to realise otherwise. Hope you dont fall
into the same trap as me.
Practically speaking, having a degree in accountancy or ACCA
allows you to work as an accountant and progress along that line.
i.e. finance manager, FC, CFO. CPA is an additonal
qualification required for you to sign off accounts as a public
accountant. It does give you an advantage over non-CPA holders in
the finance sector but it really isnt required. However, if you are
intending to work overseas, holding a CPA gives you higher
recognition and advantage in the foreign firm. CPA is an
internationally recognised qualification in accounting, and you
learn boring accounting standards and taxation.
CFA is not really relevant to accountants as it is deals mainly
with investment related subjects. This route is for those wanting
to be stock finance analysts.
icic.....will take into consideration.
u sound depressed, be happy!!! im happy now coz its time for
lunch haha^^
