hi
Anyone who took P2 Int or MYS exam b4?
Which one paper is easy answer?
Of course i think all Malaysian take P2 MYS exam, rite?

TQ

I took P2 INT. It doesnt matter which variant you took,both also difficult or else it wont be called ACCA.
INT variant requires more knowledge on goodwill as it involves full goodwill. MYS only test on partial goodwill but still you hav to know full and partial in future,so why not you take P2 INT..it is just a matter of timing.
And in my opinion,when you are looking for a job,INT variant is more preferable than MYS variant if u wish to work in MNC companies..
I hope this is correct,if any of you don't agree,pls correct me.. smile.gif

Not everybody who studies acca goes lyn what. Its not that nobody here does not know him just that nothing much to talked about. What you want to know or confirmed ?

Put it frankly, if you really want to do acca, I will give that place a "qualified opinion".

There is plenty of accountant out there : accounts exec, accounts officer, assitant accountant,..... Any tom,d*** or harry can become one as long as they understand debit & credit.
Chartered accountant will be lesser.
They need to be certified under a professional body, namely MIA in Malaysia.
To do that, you can :
1) Study degree for 4 years, work for 3 years minimum to 5 to 6 years since MIA can easily extend your experience recognition if they felt you are not working enough. Then take MIA exam for around 1 year. Then you become a certified accountant.

2) Take ACCA for 3 years, work for 3 years (if work with platinum employers like Big4 & MNC) its 3 years but with other companies may take more that cos a lot of performance achievement to met. Then ACCA recognise you and MIA will also recognise you and the same time since ACCA is more prestigious. Can become chartered accountant around age 24 or 25.

Maybe parents and most people that have not "worked" in commercial world will tell you degree is the most important but it is not that case in accounting, especially accounting. Technically I think you have misuderstood acca for accounting. ACCA comprised of other areas but accounting is just the core. Got other areas as well.

If your main concern is job opportunities, then my advice to you is:
1) Since you have nothing to do until SPM result, buy all the newpapers you can find everyday.
2) Check the column for job ads.
3) Check for requirement for financial related jobs.
4) You will probably see the line of "Minimum degree or professional qualification" sometimes just prof qual.
5) That is referring to acca,cima or icaew, or cpa,......
6) Then maybe you will see something like "Preferred working experience in Big4" or something.

If you want to graduate before everyone else and work like a whore in  a big company, why not choose ACCA tongue.gif . Straight passport to misery. I will prefer degree if I had known.

And if you dont mind working until this hour everyday, then welcome to my world biggrin.gif

eh why all seniors that have graduated now advising spm leavers to take degree rather than ACCA .... working life that bad ?

btw topace , wats this

(if work with platinum employers like Big4 & MNC) its 3 years but with other companies may take more that cos a lot of performance achievement to met.

I thought working in a field that is related to accounting is ok adi haha .
so u mean other smaller or medium firms , u need to work >3 yrs to be recognised ?

P1 in my opinion, Parminder Singh from Kasturi is good.Although I have only attended his class once,but his first impression for me throughout the whole class is good. thumbup.gif
F8 i'm not sure.

will it be too late to join the class now? actually i am planning to do F8 in Mc Orange but i will miss some classes...scare it will affect my studies towards the exam, what do u think?

You might miss a few chapters then..but I guess nothing is too late if you tried..In order to be succesful,you need to sacrificed.. In my opinion, you just have to try harder than anyone else..but then is still up to you to decide ..is just my opinion.. smile.gif

Well, that's what I have been thinking about, so I am thinking that selling it won't so any harm, but then some basic things would probably remain the same so yea, was thinking about keeping them as reference as well?
So the notes are no longer useful?
*
I'm afraid you cant sell P6 notes to anybody coz the notes and even the text books are changed every year the new budget sets in.. It wont be applicable for those who are sitting for the paper in future. A good example you can see will be the RPGT. It has not been tested for the past sittings for quite sometime since it has been taken out previously in the Budget..This coming June will be the last sitting without RPGT ..
For those who are taking P6 in Dec 2010 onwards, good luck with RPGT!!!

wondering wanna take p5 or p6 on june seating. Any advice for me?

Better take p6 this sitting before RPGT comes out again in exam.. This June sitting will be the last sitting without RPGT and Richard Thornton last sitting as examiner. hopefully he will be abit lenient this coming sitting.

Hi guys, I'm new to ACCA and there is this one thing my friend told me. I dont know whether it's true or not.

Lets say i took P1 in this sitting and i flung it.
In the next sitting, i need to get 60 marks in order to pass.

Is this true? Thanks in advance.
*
Obviously is a NO..this is not secondary school test or diploma..There are millions of ppl taking the papers and I doubt there will be times for these examiners to really check 1 by 1 and go through your previous marks to determine u pass or fail.. Since I heard about ACCA, decided to take it.. until now, it has always been 50 marks passing rate..never I heard of 60 to get a pass..your friend got the info from where??

I think it's better for you to check with ACCA rather than asking here..just call up ACCA and ask Clement.maybe he can give you some info..

Anyway, I am taking P2,P5 and P6 next month, that is why I say you can take P2 and P7 at the same time although you haven't fully completed P1-P3.

I have lots of friends taking the option paper while struggling with P3. I don't think that is a problem at all..
