Yes, TARC is different, as you can read that, although you do not have a pass in ACCA, you still have advanced diploma.  My main point is for those who straight away start their engine in LCCI / CAT => ACCA paper 1 ... until the end.  Should they fail half-way, meaning "apa pun tarak" ... LCCI + CAT is useless, ACCA half-way is no value.  Therefore, it is advisable to grab a thing first, like degree in accounting (like the thread starter wondering ACCA or Degree) or TARC Adv Diploma.  TARC Adv Diploma is specifically designed for ACCA course, as after that you are required to take, if not mistaken, 4 final subjects only.

I reckon getting a degree first is best. Better than going straight to LCCI/CAT etc or even TARC Adv Diploma.

Many youngster do not know what they want so it's not uncommon for them to change their mind of wanting to be an accountant half way. With degree, you can still do other thing like bank officer or insurance or whatever else where having a degree would be an advantage. With LCCI/CAT or even Adv Diploma, you are a lesser person when not doing accountancy.

My 2 sen.

I had done my SPM last year and currently i`m waiting to get my result.. However, i`ve been eyeing on accountancy.. But i dont know wat are CAT,CPA,ACCA, ICAEW, CFAB all about.. rclxub.gif Been hearing a lot from teachers but i`m still shocking.gif  Can someone enlighten me? Million thanks in advance.. notworthy.gif

And one more thing, can i hope for getting into local universities and opt for accountancy by venturing into form 6 1st? Will it save cost and wat`s the minimum score i should get in order to be qualified for accountancy course in local uni?

*wat if i dont do well in form 6? time will be wasted or i can salvage it and straight away go for degree?

IMO,

Go straight to ACCA or whatever if you:
1. Can pass all the necessary professional papers (many gave up half way)
2. 100% wanted to be an accountant (many change their mind after a few years study/work and don't want to be one)
3. wanted to become one in the shortest time possible (slow down and smell the roses sometimes. gf & bf are nice)
4. at the lowest cost (well, what to do if you have little money?)


If you do not fulfill the above 4 conditions, I do not suggest you skip degree as some have suggested.
