Thank you for your information. Do you know about TARC?? I live in Penang, so TARC will be more convenience to me.

You mean the cert? It doesn't matter where you study for ACCA because the most important thing is the cert from ACCA itself and not TARC's on your completion of ACCA. But you do to study for their Diploma and Adv. Diploma if you decide to study at TARC.

And why don't you go to the main campus instead? TARC's Setapak campus is HUGE with 20k+ people. You can get to know different people and learn new stuffs if money is not a constraint.

I do have financial problem. I am not from rich family, and yet PTPTN loan is not available for professional course. Hence, I wish to save the rental fees if possible. I wish to study in Sunway, but it is not that possible for me.

Then I guess Penang is your only choice. You can study for your Adv. Diploma first and then start working and study ACCA part time if you like.

The one good thing about ACCA is its flexibility.

you can try apply for scholarship. If you really wanted to go for the CAT then ACCA route,there's a few scholarship actually available.
For instant,star education fund,sin chew..etc
Alike you,i wished to study in Sunway too(or at least in KL where there are more choices),but couldn't afford living expenses there.So i opt for CAT then ACCA route in Penang.

Hi ! i was just wondering if anyone would know about this.

lets say i do an australian degree for accounting and finance,
would i get exemptions for ICAEW?
Also, CPA is only recognized in Aus, Msia and S'pore?
How about other places?

lets just say my institution are between Taylors / Monash.

take ICAA instead of CPA

if u wanna get more exemption,it's better for u to take major in accounting..
study acc and finance maybe get full exemption as other students who took acc degree..
u should have a walk to their campus to ask in detail..

You'll most likely get exemptions from the ICAEW. (max 8)

Whoa! Thank God, because have this useful thread on LYN. Worth spending my time, reading every posts

I'm currently a F5 student (in other word, I'm taking SPM this year).

I'm not sure whether it's just rumors or it's a fact, but I heard that, this year's SPM leavers (who take accounts), will get a certification of LCCI.

My questions are:
1) Is the rumors are rumors, or it's a fact?
2) If it's a fact, does it have the same goodness of having ACCA/MICPA/MIA/ICAEW/CPA etc?
3) What's the difference(s) between LCCI and other certifications?

Appreciated your insights a lot, and thanks

1)It is a fact, but you will not get the LCCI cert, you will only be exempted for Part 1 if I'm not mistaken.
2) ACCA/MICPA/ICAEW/CPA has higher recognition to LCCI. MIA is Malaysia Institute of Accountants, you need to be a member of a professional body, ie. ACA, MICPA, ICAEW, CPA or have an accounting degree in IPTA or another requirement which I forgot to be a chartered accountant in M'sia.
3) LCCI is something like a foundation, a stepping stone for you to enter CIMA, ACCA etc.

Thanks for the replies

1) Didn't get the cert? Then, how am I gonna know, that I'll be exempted for Part 1 of LCCI? And LCCI have how many parts?
2) "ACCA/MICPA/ICAEW/CPA has higher recognition to LCCI." Sorry for my noobness, but what are you trying to tell here? Is those qualifications are better than LCCI or LCCI are highly recognized by ACCA/MICPA/ICAEW/CPA etc?
3) So, it should be more easier or it might be a little bit difficult?

I think it's better you send an enquiry to ICAEW & get a direct answer from them concerning exemptions.
CPA is only recognised in Msia, S'pore, China & HK. Though 'on paper' CPA is recognised in Aust but all the employers only want to hire ICAA grad. So in reality CPA (Aus) is not recognised at all in Aust.

you will get a cert from LCCI.You will have to mail your info alongside with your SPM result to the LCCI alongside with a rm20+ fees or whatever it is.

Weeeeee~
Is that all that I need to pay, to get the certificate?

ya.around there

Good to know that!
