umm, i am no accounts person but from what I observe from people around. those who got themselves ACCA has better job prospects though this is more expensive and need to spend more time.

ACCA is better. LCCI is just normal book keeping if im not wrong

Recruit always ask for ACCA qualification.

ACCA is recognised worldwide.

It's a tougher exam though.

So be prepared to mug.

If you continue, may be now you heading a department or is a MD of a company liao. Those people with aCCA that I come across, some of those are in these positions.

Just clear the ACCA CAT first

then rush for ACCA lvl 3.

With ACCA, you have the potential to be promoted and move up the corporate ladder.

Nowadays, you can't hope to move up much if you only have a diploma or less.

A lot of people have Masters or ACCA or CFA or MBA or some sort of additional cert with their basic diplomas and degrees.

That's the harsh reality of the corporate world today.

Are you in ACCA?? Could you advise me? Cos I not sure what are the levels etc and what courses I should choose?? I want accounting =))

I actually wanted to do LCCI first (so prolly i get a dip pay job in accounts first, cos dun like current job) cos ppl tell me its easier, plus I dont have any accounting bkgrd at all, I think if I jump to ACCA now it'll be like a 'culture shock' for me.

Wa say really ma? Comparing ACCA and uni degree in accounting, ACCA is so good?? REally i duno.. so just asking.

What is ACCA CAT?

From what I guess, ACCA lvl 3 is the highest level in ACCA?? With no accounting bkgrd at all, and considering that ACCA passing is like 20-30% (omg?! thats what I heard), can I just chiong level 3??

Advice advice!! Thanks loads

LCCI Diploma in Accounting and ACCA are two different standard

qualifications. One is a diploma and the other is a professional accounting

qualification.

Passing rate for LCCI Diploma in Accounting is much higher than that of ACCA.

The passing rate of ACCA is very low ie 10% - 20%.

Many students cannot pass through level 2 after many tries and then they give up.

However, once the students passed all the ACCA exams, they are highly sought

after by employers and many of them hold high accounting and finance positions in

the companies, MNC, banks and so on.
