Hello to all the fellow members who are in the same boat as me. I would like to get your feedback on the Return on Investment (ROI) of the various professional qualifications that I can study for while staying in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
I'm soon going to finish my B.B.A (Bachelor of Business Administration) , dual-majoring in Finance and Marketing. I'm willing to get a professional qualification (ACCA/CIMA/CFA/CIA/ACA)in addition to my B.B.A but I'm confused regarding the career prospects of each qualification in my country and abroad.
As far as I know, the CFA is the most difficult one to pass and isn't as much recognized all over the world as the ACCA or the CIMA is. Though I'm personally more inclined to attempt the CIMA as it would let me practice strategic planning and managerial interpretation of accounts (which is my preference over financial reporting). However, in my own country, the CIMA grads hardly ever gets work as the ACCA or the ACA grads are preferred when doing any kind of accountancy work in a firm.
Lastly, please advise me whether the qualification that's most suitable for me at home is also apt abroad since I intend to apply for immigration abroad (Canada, Australia, New Zealand) etc.
