ACCA and CA

[farzansaeed07]

I'm a science student and I don't know about this ACCA/CA stuff.
What's the major difference b/w ACCA and CA?
How long does it takes to do ACCA?
Can you do ACCA after doing O' Levels?
And most important question.... what is the market value/job opportunity of ACCA?

 

[SalmanPakRocks]

ACCA is Associate Certified Chartered Accountant. It is easier to do ACCA then CA. ACCA was basically introduced because CA exams were considered too tough. ACCA can be completed in 4 years time, (If u pass ur exams in single go) and CA depends upon 5 to 7 years.
No u can't do ACCA after O levels. U need to do A levels first.
Well there is very less scope of ACCA in pakistan but if u go abroad then there is a good market value for ACCA.

And wht subjects do I need to study in A' Levels to do ACCA/CA?

 

[SalmanPakRocks]

U have to study Accounts, Maths, Economics.

For CA:
- A Levels will get you exemption in ppt
- if you give maths with P1 P3 S1 and S2...you get exemption in Quantitative methods
- Economics in A Levels...exemption in B3
- Accounting in A Levels really makes B module easy
- you'll have to read Law in CA module B
- you cant do CA after o levels...unless you are above 21

Nopes...result of alevels is only credited...I advice you to take P1 P3 S1 and S2 in alevels maths.
and for fee discount policies...you can check the official website of the institute form which you are planning to do CA...eg; http://www.skans.edu.pk/disc.php ---These are SKANS policies

why does Ca depend on 5 to 7 years?

 

[SalmanPakRocks]

why does Ca depend on 5 to 7 years?

Actually it was for pakistan, firstly because of high level of difficulty in the paper and secondly due to demand and supply, only few candidates are passed.

How come I have registered for FIA (CA) just after completing my O Levels, A Levels are not compulsory according to me and where I am, they just assist to exempt papers from the CA,,

 

[Mahreen Mustafa]

For CA:
- A Levels will get you exemption in ppt
- if you give maths with P1 P3 S1 and S2...you get exemption in Quantitative methods
- Economics in A Levels...exemption in B3
- Accounting in A Levels really makes B module easy
- you'll have to read Law in CA module B
- you cant do CA after o levels...unless you are above 21

I am studying P1, P3, S1 and M1... will it be a problem or can I still get exemption in Quantitative methods?
