sorry my mistake.. that was last time when the best CAT students will be selected to go for ICAEW after finishing their CAT which took a year.. Immediately they will start working while doing their ICAEW papers part time smile.gif

now i think almost the same cause icaew students have to study 2.5 years full time before being released to workforce..therefore, they have only half year working experience advantage as compared to acca grad.. nevertheless, icaew being more prestigious will aid u later in ur career smile.gif

You got that wrong.

1) The best CAT students will be selected to go for ICAEW after finishing their CAT

2) They will do 1 year full time, ( 8 papers ) in Sunway

3) Then they go BDO

1 year faster than ACCA

Sorry I didn't write properly.
What I know is Sunway best CAT students go to ICAEW

I'm a student there also =.=
8 papers - MI & LAW + 6 application papers. Am I right?

So far, I've only seen BDO sponsored students.

Btw, sunway still provide this route

Nowadays, all young people have their ambitions, which is good. But, most of them are too ambitious, without considering their own capability as well as risk, time wasted. Only see the glamour name of chartered. If you are "hang" half-way, if don't anything, no degree, no chartered, no money. Conclusion, at that time you 'baru' re-think your future, then it is too late, yes, really too late.

Just be pessimistic a bit, say 3 years down the road, you still :hang" half-way at your professional course, and at that time recession time come in (who knows?), you ending with "apa pun tarak".

Secure something first. A bird in the hand (degree) is worth a dinosaur in the bush (chartered accountant).

in my time, the students who were selected will immediately begin their training (ie. work) in the sponsoring firm while doing their application papers part time..no full time studies at that time.. and there were two other firm sponsoring beside BDO,, but medium size firm,..not big 4

If you want to do a degree, make sure its at a good university. Else, you can try out ACCA, you will be able to obtain a degree after you complete all the Fundamental level papers (your average mark has to be 66 and above to secure a first class).

Nowadays acca is become too commercialise, passed more n more candidates to secured as global larger professional body and compete with others rising body (icaew).

Have you looked at the passing rate of both ACCA & ICAEW? At the final level, the passing rate of ACCA is between 30%-35%. For ICAEW, the passing rate is around 80%.

If you're an ACCA member of 5 years, you can become member of ICAEW thru the pathway membership without having to sit for any exams. For ICAEW to become an ACCA, they must sit for the last 5 papers of ACCA. It has been recognised last year that ACCA's P2 Corporate Reporting is the toughest prof paper of all the prof bodies.

Well in the end of the day, it's all up to the individual which one to choose, ACCA or ICAEW or MICPA.

Generally ICAEW is slightly easier than ACCA if you look at their exam structure. However both are equally good.
