I hav talked much bout beginin with CA or ACCA at various places mite b a bit of help for u there.

im not believing on the old superstitions,, its just that i wanna know all abt this profession,, its consequence n rewards n all stuff before just jumping blindly into it ! i just wanna be on the safer side,, as i have another option too n thatz engineering !~
im really sorry to say but nobodyz really willing to help !
im seeking a person who has successfully gone thru all this ,, and grasp something out of his experience !
still waiting for some useful replys......
Anotherimmortal what do u xactly want to know?
Be clear with ur questions and intentions then perhaps sumbudy cud be of some help.
I think wht you want to ask is how to study to successfully complete ca.
for this, just study & study & study & study for hours 8-10 hours atleast daily.
especially after mod d , you will do articleship, work for horribly long hours with almost non existant salary & then study too!!! study & study & sutdy more hard then you had ever till mod d. things will get more horrible when you reach the last module
if you dont practice & study up to the toppest mark in any subject, then you will simply fail that subject
a chartered accountant at an islamabad firm advised me to forget everything, your family & even yourself for 6 years then you will do it... things would be much better in the start but when you get further, everything will become horrible...
I am afraid that usman is right to some extent, although the things are not as horrible as mentioned.
Usman please darao mat
see now datz what im talking abt !!!
thatz why i was looking for a complete CA who has gone all thru that hell and gain something from his experience and probably percieve if i could do it or not !! there is no motivation man !!!
waisay what is the passing % of icap and that of ACCA too..
and watz the starting pay of a CA ?
also .. discuss abt which onez better... chartered accountancy or engineering ... in all aspects !!
thnx
Anothermortal a student with 3 or 4 years experience of all this is enuff to answer such questions.
Passing % of ACCA is much better than that of CA
