when is the deadline for early bird? I hope it's not before the result.

it can't be before result, as we don't know our results, how should we decide which paper to take for the sitting?

see important dates of ACCA
http://www2.accaglobal.com/students/acca/info/dates

i am really really super super super shocked stunned speechless seeing the dates
our standard exam closing date used to be 15 Oct/ 15 April, i don't know why now i saw the dates are 8 Oct/ 8 April.

the early exam entry closing date is 8 Sept/ 8 March.

and next year, for P papers, if pay the exam fees after the early closing date but b4 standard closing date, is £94 per paper. ow...guys and girls, faster finish all ur papers in this coming Dec 2011 sitting

Anybody has any idea what are the career prospects if I completed my OBU ( without P levels ), I'm planning to pursue P levels on part time while working.

I think you can start to work for any audit firm, should be no problem.

If not mistaken OBU not recognized by MYS govt; so i guess you can't work for the civil sector using the OBU qualification.

the discount thing is being told by Spencer to whole class just now
we've heard the discount thing since last sem but no actual announcement from ACCA that time

hey guys how do i join acca? the website isnt working atm.
I am exempted from f1-f9. so how many papers do i have left? I have never tot of getting ACCA as I tot i'll be getting CPA in aussie. but I am thinking of going back to msia and ACCA is easier for me to obtain atm.

Do you think I can complete all exams in a years time? I am not working. just part-time as a waitress in aussie atm. and my visa expires next year oct. should be plenty of time aye?

You will have to sit for the remaining 5 papers in the professional level. CPA is deemed by many to be much easier than ACCA. And since you will be in Aussie till next year Oct, why not take CPA instead? The MIA recognises ACCA and CPA as equivalent in Malaysia.

If you are studying full time, you will be able to finish ACCA in a years time, provided you did not fail any of the papers.

I'll look into that. Thanks for the heads up!

Yeah. You can do it in one year, especially since you're not working yet.

I regret doing ACCA part time while working. No time for anything else in between.

Damn.. i've just been advised by my employers (both at their 40s) that if possible do it full time instead of part time..
would you mind to share ur part time acca endeavour with us?

Since you're doing part-time, if you intend to attend for classes/tuition then you would have to do it after working hours or weekends.

Officially, work ends at 5.45pm and classes usually start at 6.45pm or 7pm. So you have to rush to the school or tuition provider after work, through the traffic and if you're lucky, you would either arrive early or just on time. That means no time for quick dinner.

Imagine, the fatigue and stress level after work and then you still have to listen to lengthy lectures ? Furthermore if you're hungry and worn out from driving and all.

Also, do you expect to be able to leave on time, all the time ? Just drop everything and leave ? You can't do that. Sometimes my colleagues are understanding and would allow me to leave on time but at times, I have no choice but to stay a bit longer to help out.

And then, imagine those classes on the weekends. Those are the worst. Imagine from 9am-5pm on one or both weekends.

Pretty much a sacrifice to get it done and over with as soon as possible. And force myself to psych myself positively to listen and concentrate during lectures.

Very true. Thats why if you are taking part-time. Just do 1-2 subjects max per sitting. If not you really can go crazy. If you want to complete it faster; advisable to quit your dayjob.

anyone here attended ACCA talk before?

will they serve anything? FOC or charged?

there's a coming talk bout PER by ACCA this Friday in Penang

at Evergreen Laurel Hotel on 6.30pm

Free registration

duno want to attend the talk or not because of the distance and hour

If I had the choice (i.e. with Accounting degree); most likely would take CPA. Heard from CPA graduates; its much easier.

im interested to work in banking/finance sector instead of auditing..
but heard that its better to work in big 5 and obtain 3 years practical experience there.. after qualifying only then switch to your preferable field.. can any seniors please advise me on this? thanks ^^

btw, anyone joining deloitte tax challenge 2011?

sry for wrong info

the early bird discount will be only GBP81 after discount

Sorry I'm not a senior but this is what i think.

Why don't you apply to the bank straight? How does auditing experience help you in a bank operations job? Unless you specifically apply to work for the financial reporting or IA dept, then maybe its better?

If you want to progress in banking/finance job its better you study CFA or CFP which is more finance related. ACCA for me is more to financial reporting and general business.
