You might also think of a combination of CIMA and MBA... ACCA is good too... Make a provision of three years for both ACCA and CIMA... However, its better that you appear for the PPT as well... So that in the near future if you plan to start CA for some reason, you will have an ease of just directly enrolling yourself in an institute. - Moon - 05-22-2004 <BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial" id=quote>quote<hr height=1 noshade id=quote> Assalam U ALikum, GUyz i hav done my b.com .

As Omar says both has equal worth. After completing your M.Com or MBA you can join ACCA. You will get exemptions of Part 1 + Paper 2.1,2.2 same exemption ACCA is offering for CA inter students. I think its a better route for you. Best of Luck Sohail In This imaginative World Nothing is Impossible - the_farhan - 05-28-2004 <font face='Verdana'> salaaaam aal, mr. faheem, ur future plans and ur personal interests r the best indicators to decide wht u shud do. otherwise, all these qualifications r good, n have their own merits (n demerits). take into account all the other parameters, eg, time required, costs, ur plans, etc. if u can afford 6-8 yrs b4 gettin into job, then CA is best option. but if u want to get in job as soon as possible, thn M.Com n MBA r the right choices n MBA will b best in this case bcoz it covers broader aspects of business world thn Mcomm (no offences intended for M.Comm) u can do ACCA or CIMA or CFA etc etc etc along with the job as well to further ur worth. </font id='Verdana'> FARHAN - Mahtab - 05-28-2005 AOA faheem uddin do you qualify PIPFA?
