Hi, greetings to all seniors.. Im new here.. Might need some of your advices/comments..

I just finish my CAT exams and about to pursue 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 in coming semester... anyone can recommend to me any good lecturers/coll for these three papers..?? preferably around kl area..

Im actually headache in choosing either ftms, or mc orrange, or kasturi, or systematic.. anyone can help me giving me some references..??

thanx in advance...

Thanx DK82, im sorie, but wats IMO CKF's class..??

Wow, thanks alot roy_pck and colly for the recommendation.. so, let me just conclude:
2.1 ksa
2.2 ksa
2.3 siva (ftms) or mr kok (paac) or ms wong (ftms)

Huh, still headache.. I actually did my CAT is penang, thats y unfamiliar with kl acca colleges.. luckily i found this forum site, full of kl acca students here.. erm, i ll think bout it later.. enjoy my holiday first now.. hehe...

Haha, great job, coolly.. Look like u r the 'magnet' here to answer everyone's problems ya.. Btw, are you acca member or acca affiliate...?? or ady fellow acca (FCCA)..?? Haha..

I actly got some problem which i dun think it discussed b4 in this forum.. I understand ACCA and CAT is professional course which totally diff from other courses from uni.. But, does msia government recognise CAT as diploma level..?? I faced such difficulty few times in filling up some form, saying my CAT should be under 'diploma' level or 'certificate' level or 'foundation' level..?? Just curious to know, can a CAT holder apply to pursue his study in degree from normal uni..??


Does anyone here know any financial assisstance to finance my ACCA study..?? Any loan/scholarship/grant..?? Normally scholarships only invite those accountancy undergraduate degree from uni.. If Im not mistaken, even PTPTN does not offer loan for CAT/ACCA as not categoriz under diploma/degree level wo..

u meant 6months to finish 9papers..?? u really did so..?? possible also since T1-T4 can be taken cbe at any time and easy to pass too.. but, IMO, such shortcut way is strongly not advisable for fresh spm student.. Although I achieved 9 1A's in spm, but i believe CAT and ACCA part 2 is the time for you to build up a strong foundation for ur accountancy.. you may accelerate to ACCA part 3 in one and half year time, but may end up suffering at the end also.. I chose to score as high as possible at each papers rather than a 'pass'.. ACCA is ady very fast route to get a degree, need not to rush for time anymore..

wah.. wat..??!! 1k for acca fresh graduat..?? is that the market price in small audit firm..??

Hi.. Anyone here can let me know the differences among:
(a) public accountant
(b) registered accountant
© certified accountant
(d) chartered accountant
(e) or any other types of accountant that i might never heard b4..??

thanx.. i appreciate anyone would share his/her knowledge with me..

CAT is much easier compare to ACCA, so passing is in nine months is not really a porblem.. but make sure u build up a strong foundation/basic of accounting in CAT.. It will helps u alot in ur ACCA later..

Btw, sept intake..?? Are you from SPM 05..?? Wat took u so long to register for CAT after ur SPM, while now u rushing wanna get thru CAT in nine months..??

Haha, we are in same class for 2.3.. u PT or FT..??
I feel that when he talks on theory, kinda boring also...

Aikz, if im not mistaken, u ady finish ur ACCA quite some time ago rite..?? now stil goyang kaki at home or working...?? u did ur OBU..??

Btw, anybody here working in big4..?? I dun get how those guyz (audit dept) can so geng work day n nite non-stop..??

Welcome to ACCA...

4am.. thats really bad for health... where got time for bf/gf then..??
peak period is how long..?? one week..?? one month..??
off-peak period ll be working in normal office hour rite..??

For fresh ACCA graduate, it is advisable to join big4 or other small small firm for the purpose of gaining experience...?? How bout those non-accounting company such as shell, dell, and bla bla bla....??

First, u r registering urself as ACCA techinician (CAT) student, not as member of ACCA. A member of ACCA means u pass all ur ACCA papers with at least 3years working experience...

I have a fren who faced same problem last time.. 3 steps on wat he did:
1) The coll (IPG) helped him to write an e-mail to ACCA.
2) He himself e-mail to ACCA as well..
3) Phone ACCA office in KL..
He was, too, very worried at that time, keep on phone, email, phone n email ACCA... End up few days later, he received two registration pack... Haha...

Bout the phone calling prob, i alwayz call up ACCA to ask this and that, their line is always available, never got line busy or blablabla as u said... Haha, mayb u r the unlucky one... or u phoned at non-office hour, my fren..?? U sure u got the correct nu, 03-27135051..?? Well, if u still experiencing such problem, u may directly go to ACCA office and get ur stuff settled..

Anyway, need not to worry so much.. My fren who got his student card late, even can go for his CBE exam without the student card as the coll has the details of him..

Hehe, my lecturer has just notify that i ll be receiving award for my CAT June 06.. Erm, althou just a m'sia CAT subject award, at least ll be the beginning of my success.. Huh, need to work more hard in part two, its much tougher...

Haha.. Agree... 2.2 questions keep repeating after few sittings... Doing 2.2 past year is the best practice...

Haha.. lucky, if the UK office answered ur call, ur bill ll be expensive then...
Welcome... goodluck in your exam..
