Prior to reading this thread, i was actually planning to complete a CPA and then move on to MBA. However, based on certain accounts from members here, CPA really does look dire in comparison to other professional accreditation. Now, i wouldn't want to spend thousands to obtain a qualification that is poorly regarded. Or at least, not up to standard.

So the conclusion is that the reputation/quality of ICAEW has dipped in recent history and that ACCA remains on top. Yes?

I'm currently studying my 3rd year at Monash University and to my benefit I am entitled to a few exemptions for ACCA, just as i do for CPA. Planning to start with auditing before venturing into the corporate sector, hence the importance of a professional accreditation.

All the sifus here, please advice me on my next step.
