3 times Acca?! You don't say?! Abeg... Don't make me laugh. Acca has a wider scope and wider acceptability compared to cfa. Don't speak on things you know nothing about! ThierryJay: 3 Likes |

Is that not the exam for investment bankers? The exam na die, I'm not even sure they have a centre in nigeria. It's also very expensive. It's worth it provided u have the time and strength. It takes an average 4 yrs to complete the 3 level of exams. Pls chop well b4 u commence the program. All the best. 2 Likes |

Hope you know that a certification doesn't become valuable just because it's expensive?! Cfa has nothing... I repeat NOTHING on acca! ThierryJay: |

Cfa is rubbish... It's just one aspect of Accounting! Acca covers all aspects of Accounting. Its just the clout that comes with the money spent doing cfa that makes cfa look like it's one correct certification. The scope is so narrow... I'd pick Acca over cfa any day any time! sammirano3: 2 Likes |

ikenna44: You are not really comparing CFA to ACCA are you? This cannot be real. CFA has less than 30% average pass rate globally. ACCA typically gets up to 60% pass rate. Tells you which is more difficult. You see someone with CFA and another with ACCA. Pray tell who do you think will be more highly sought after in the field of finance. Pls research before you answer me cos it's a no brainer. 5 Likes |

So... Just because it has a low pass rate, it's better than Acca?! maybe people writing the exams are generally dull or their lecturers suck! Acca covers all aspects of Accounting... Including finance! An Acca holder is well grounded in accounting literally... Cfa only knows finance. I've seen their materials and I can say it with my chest.. it's not all that! Nigerians generally love hyping things that are not worth it. Even in europe... Acca is preferred to cfa. American is working overtime to align their syllabus with what Acca has... A large percentage of students writing cfa are from Nigeria... No other country is going crazy over cfa. ThierryJay: 2 Likes |

Please do... CFA is the most valued certification for a career path in Finance and Investment... It's better and classier than ICAN and ACCA 1 Like |

If you want an accounting cert that's transferable... Do Acca! If you already have Acca, don't waste your time and money on cfa. Switch to I.T immediately! mysticgal: 3 Likes |

ikenna44: ACCA is useless in Canada, it’s value ends in the UK, North America has CPA. CFA is a finance certification not an Accounting certification, you can’t compare it to ACCA. 8 Likes |

ikenna44: You are unbelievably ignorant. Na your type go talk say Waec is more valuable than Jamb. I am an ACCA & ICAN holder, and I know very well about CFA cos I have a number of colleagues taking it. It is indisputable that CFA is more valuable than ACCA. With CFA, you have better leverage to increase your earnings exponentially than ACCA which a lot of people already have. ACCA is the base in finance. CFA is for the creme de la creme. I'm done arguing with you over this topic cos it's like you are not exposed in the corporate finance world and is only talking from a theoretical point of view. 11 Likes |

ikenna44: SMH this is google bullshit, I live and work in Canada, I was doing the ACCA before I left Nigeria. The first person who told me it was a waste of time was my lecturer. ACCA and ICAN has equal levels in Canada, being that you have to convert them to CPA. No employer in Canada gives a shit about ACCA. 6 Likes |

ikenna44: And you think all the MCSA, RHCSE, A+, OCP, CEH aren't enough? Or variations of the same thing? I still don't get why your knee jerk response is to say abandon your career and pick up a new career. That's like telling a doctor to go and become an engineer. Not even a pharmacist or nurse which is somewhat the same Clinical Medicine 2 Likes |

It’s my dream to sit for the CFA exam and become a chartered financial analyst. Ever since I took part in their research challenge in 2019, I’ve been nursing that dream but finances has been a major challenge. I believe it, one day, I’ll have my charter. P.S Sit for the exam, it’s more than worth it. Besides Nigeria has the most CFA charter holders as well as the highest number of candidates sitting for the exam, that alone explains it relevance. Good luck to you 3 Likes |
