Gundam Wing or anyone, hope can get your help here.
1) Is ACCA same as CPA Australia?
2) After getting ACCA, can get into MIA straight away? Or still need 3 years of working exp under a qualified accountant?
Me and my gf just recently graduate from Victoria University of Wellington. Already apply for accessment for CPA (in Jan) but haiz....until now only got their receipt of payment. They are damn slack when doing works.

they r the same level...but for the employee,ACCA is preferred bcos it's more recognise....in case u didnt know ACCA recognise is many many countries...furthermore,ACCA got malaysian variant for tax and law as well as standards..i dunno whether CPA Australia have them ^^
when u have ACCA membership u can apply for MIA membership..to get ACCA membership u need 3 yrs relevant working experience

one more thing, i know sunway has an affiliation with the Oxford Brookes University.
for students who are taking ACCA in sunway, after u have passed ur part 2, u can submit a report to OBU and u'll get a degree.
i am not sure if other colleges are offering this package, find out more from sunway.
it's not sunway who has the affliation
it's ACCA...OBU's degree in applied accounting is ACCA-OBU project...the research project that u do will only decide whether u fail or pass.....once u pass, the class(1st class,2nd class etc) for the degree is decided by the average marks u get in whole part 2 of ACCA
many colleges are offering mentor to do the research stuff...as i know sunway,FTMS and PAAC have it..dunno bout other colleges...and as usual it's more expensive in sunway compared to other colleges..a friend of mine in sunway said it costs bout 4-5k for the mentor help in the research paper..while others are below 1k....it's a MUST to have a mentor to complete the research paper

i think any college will do... if im not mistaken tis degree is not recognise by Malaysian government ( but wont u wan to wrok wif govnt meh??

)
tis OBU is very good coz if u knot pass ur part3, at least u hav a degree when u r applying for jobs... hehe....
may i ask is studying SUNWAY reali tat pressure??

coz my fren at there juz lik very very busy... everyday got class.... coz im goin there to continue my part 2 in july....
yah OBU degree is something to fall back on incase we keep failing part 3..*crosses finger* hope i dont LOL
and errmm..sunway pressure bcos they have classes everyday and their mock exams are important to decide whether they r allowed to sit for the real exams...it's REALLY a college life when u study in sunway while the others only have classes like 1 or 2 classes of 3 hours per week per subject....easy life out there compared to sunway.maybe that's why it's much more expensive in sunway ^^
phew..such a long post...just my 2 cents..dont shoot me
