I am an ACCA grad.
Imagine the shock on her face (jawdrop - not even exaggerating) when a friend of mine (CPA Aust grad) found out that in ACCA we actually draft full set of consolidated accounts in the P2 paper (previously called, heard they changed name). Spoke volumes of the competency needed to pass CPA Aust. |

QUOTE(nelson969 @ Nov 27 2021, 11:46 PM) I saw a lot useful info here , i want ask some question as mentioned by some of the forumers here, for sake of convenience and ease of passing, just go for CPA Aust, if you are able to secure sponsorship from your employer. ACCA is much more challenging and requires significant commitment in terms of time and focus, which is a huge task especially if you're studying part time.I am about to graduate in August 2022 as a bachelor in accounting ( Honours ) and i am thinking whether to go take CPA or ACCA , i was told CPA is open book test so it is easy or something else ? To those who take CPA, after u pay for the application fee and exam course , do they give u the study guide book ? it is enough to use the study guide book for the exam? Plus with the recently new format, Malaysia taxiation which is a compulsory base on our qualification in malaysia does not recognize by the CPA Australia, it is stated that one must register with sunway TES and study their material and pass their exam , who had experience this before ? it is open book test or not ? other than that , i admit that i am weak in accounting concept , between acca and cpa, which one is right for me in term of difficulty ? thanks everyone.  ACCA is of course much cheaper than CPA Aus. Per ACCA paper at the professional level costs around 120-130 GBP if im not wrong, which works out to around RM600-700, whereas per CPA paper costs much more frm what i hear. Membership fees are also cheaper with ACCA. I also heard ACCA is moving towards computer based exams but limited to the 4 sittings per year, whereas CPA you can sit for the exams at any time (i might be wrong). So just weigh the pros and cons of CPA vs others, and do consider costs and ease of attempting exams. nelson969 liked this post
