The ACCA path to CFA - pauliangenius - 02-17-2010

for doing CFA,u must be a chartered accountant.after doing CA,u will be eligible to do CFA.

it is confirmed that acca is a requirement for cfa. i just want anyone to answer my question in a precise and relevant manner.[(!]

it is not compulsory to complete acca or ca the only requirement of cfa is one should be graduate(four years degree) my brother is doing it and he is in 2 level he had started after doing B.E in computer

now that is more precise. i read that one of the cfa requirements was an acca level 2 pass. what does this means?

You can start CFA in the last year of your degree/qualification. But you must show evidence of completion of your degree/qualification before sitting for the level II exam of CFA

dear ACCA is not a requirement for CFA at all.Even an MA degree holder can start CFA.There r three ways.
1)u should have a 4 years degree.(16 years education)
2)4 years relevant work experience after 12 years education.(CFA would decide what is relevant)
3)2 years degree(14 years education)+2 years relevant work experience.
This info is available already in some other thread given by "CFACCA".He is a CFA and ACCA qualified.Search it.
