I graduated in BSC. Hons. Mathematics and Computer Science. I want to go into accountancy because I presume it involves number work.
Now I want to apply for this graduate accounatcy job and I can't decide what area of accounting I'd like to go into and what qualifications to study. There's two areas to choose from; audit and business tax.
And theres ACCA, CIMA, ATT and another Tax qualification to choose from.
I want to know whats the difference between ACCA,ACA, CIMA. Also, if I want to work in tax the employer gives me the option to either choose to study ACCA/ACA or the ATT/and another tax qualification. In the interview it may ask me why I chose one and not the other. ACCA is a broader qualification is one reason, but i need more reasons.
Please help. Yes your rite, I am confused.
<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial" size=2 id=quote>CIMA and ACCA both are just like having international passports. If you are unable to decide now you can start with one qualification (for example CIMA) and do ACCA later by passing only four further papers.
In the WTO regime I consider both CIMA and ACCA have the depth of becoming a standard qualification.
Take the initiative and go for it. Don't think too much as both of them has same objective of making you an accountant with slight variation.
Regards
