Dear Hira,
Assalamalaikum
Sumaan has given some very nice answers here .. well I am an ACCA student as well and am in my 2nd part right now ..
As sumaan explained that 21 is the minimum age for mser students and not the normal students .. one thing i would like to add here is that for pakistani students the minimum requirement is either b.comm or a levels .. so if u have done either and are above 18 years of age you can sit for the papers ..
As you mentioned CFA and someone mentioned Actuary .. well all 3 qualifications are in different fields .. ACCA is basically an accountancy qualification .. where as CFA is a pure finance qualification, of course covering accounting as well but on a differnt level .. with ACCA you become a specialist in making accounts and related aspects whereas with CFA you gain knowledge about the whole of finance which is obviously a broader fields .. As for Actuary there is no relation to accounts or finance .. its a totally different field .. anyhow best of luck to you in your decision .. If you have any more queries you can email me at [email protected] ....
take care
ma salaama
