Acca Or Cfa: What Do You Advise? by Nobody: 2:33pm On Jun 24, 2008 |
I am in a dilema, do i apply for ACCA or do i do CFA exams? Please landers help me out. Which one is more respected, more recognised and more empowering? Especially for someone who needs to be strong in the corporate world. Help me with detailed advise on advantages and/or disadvantages of either. thanks |

eezeebone:Depends on wat u want to be, an accountant (debit, credit, balance book) then go for ACCA or an analyst (financial analyst, investment, mergers and acquisition etc) then go for CFA |

do ur ACCA first then go for CFA, will be better if u start this way. |

if u dont want to be an accountant dont waste any precious time doing ACCA, u can go straight to CFA if u want to be an analyst, ACCA wont take u any where as an analyst, except u just want to get certficates for the sake of certification |

Cool, thanks. I like the idea of going thru with acca then proceeding to cfa if necessary. |

eezeebone: There are elements of accounting all over the CFA curriculum. Infact its roughly about 45%. It is very good for analyst type roles but since you are interested in risk management try FRM instead |
Re: Acca Or Cfa: What Do You Advise? by Nobody: 10:41am On Jun 25, 2008 |
FRM, Financial Risk Management right, Hmmmmm I'll look it up. Thanks |
Re: Acca Or Cfa: What Do You Advise? by candylips(m): 1:23pm On Jun 25, 2008 |
Yes. Its a very tough exam though . A lot of mathematics of pricing of complex derivative instruments like options. |
