if you want cheaper (but also effective) alternative, look up for Mark Meldrum or Arif Irfanullah videos.

you can just study with their videos.

CFA is on a different league as compared to all other accounting qualifications.

My advise is, if you were to enroll, forget everything you think you know about accounting, and enter the class with an empty cup.

Because CFA's accounting is so much difficult as compared to what was offered by ACCA.

I have both.

CFA requires a deep understanding of both IFRS and US GAAP, while ACCA needs you to understand IFRS only.

For example, both CFA and ACCA need you to understand consolidation. But CFA takes it a step further.

Imagine you need to differentiate the implication of consolidation in both US GAAP and IFRS, and what is the end result (ratios) if different methods (FVTPL,FVOCI, AC) are used.

Yea, we practice double standard in CFA
