confused...dun get wat u mean.
is that the working experience which i did while i'm taking the ACCA exam doesnt count to fulfill the requirement to become a chartered accountant?(3 years working exp)

wat i wana ask is...do the working experience that i did while i'm taking the ACCA exam can count as the "working experience" to entitle to be a chartered accountant?

to be a chartered accountant need 3 years working experience!

Not simple as that !!

U need to fully certain criteria for the so called 3 years experience....
look for www.accaglobal.com

Huh, actually what i mean is if you work as an account asst in a company for 3 years, no matter u didn't / are / after take ACCA will consider counted.

What I mean here is mostly people will thought that studying is also counted as working experiences and didn't look for work during that period so that they wasted 3 years already.

Huh.. Coolly not around only, this thread started becoming so 'messy'..

Let me answer lcyeap90,
1. The 'last part' of ACCA u meant is wat we called the part 3 level (to be renamed as professional level soon in new syllabus). Part 3 contain 5papers.. I dun agree if u said 'easy way' to obtain a degree then continue part 3 ACCA.. First, not all degree qualify for full exemption n entitile u to straight part 3.. Secondly, ACCA is a prof course, unlike any other degree, if ur unfamiliarize with ACCA (or other such prof course) exam styles/techniques, u cant pass ACCA easily.. I have a master graduated fren studying ACCA n yet failed..

2. normally how long do ppl use to finish up the last part exam of ACCA?
Therz no clear answer to that.. If u meant only refering to malaysian student, i might say average ppl need bout 2years for part3.. depending on studying part time or full time, it makes lot diff..

3. Regarding working experiences question, the answer is YES.. You may work while u study.. 3years working experiences can be obtained anytime b4, during, or after the completion of ACCA study.. Well, other criterias to be fulfill such as working full time, certain tasks; you may contact ACCA for further info either website/email/or phone ACCA Msia..

Hope it clear ur doubt..

ok..problem cleared...

Hi there. I know this is ACCA thread but can i ask bout CPA thing oso? My frenz is now studying in AUS high school. He plan to take accounting in AUS. But if im not mistaken, AUS apply different accounting compare to ACCA (UK based), right? So is he able to study ACCA there? If he take CPA, still can work at Malaysia, right?

ACCA abd CPA are both professional bodies..... not to say is different accounting....

1 is called ACCA based in UK.
another 1 called CPA based in AUS.

both can say is equivalent standard.

ACCA is worldwide available...
CPA, some of the organisation is prefer CPA... dun know why...

IC...but is it studying the same thing? Coz i heard that AUS accounting different compare with UK system .....

CPA standard in Malaysia might be higher a bit than ACCA. But ACCA is still a worldwide accounting course unlikes CPA, I'm not quite sure about it but as what vin_ann said, CPA most likely like an private organization studies. lolz. Correct me if I'm wrong

Who study in Sunway college here? Wan to know how the condition there.
How is the lecturer in Sunway for part 3 essential paper next sem. good or not?
Should i go sunway or other colleges to follow the lecturers style?
Assume fee is not of my concern cos the fee almost the same...
Any advice?

Sunway not sure, But do find other college such as McOrange, Kasturi etc etc.

Erm, so long the country adopt international standards (IASs n IFRSs), it wun be too much different in acctg policies.. Especially aus is komanwel country, wun run too far from uk, just bit diff lol.. correct me if im wrong..

Malaysia recognises CPA Aus.. (plz do not confuse, msia got CPA msia, n its diff).. Just like acca, cpa qualification is recognised by MIA.. No prob working in Msia with CPA..

what is the difference between CPA AUS and CPA MSIA?

it's different qualification all together.. it's like asking what is the difference between ICAEW and ICAA.. 1 is England Wales 1 is Aus.. u might think it's only different country, but the syllabus and scope can be very different also..

hey...can i ask a ques...

im now studyin in sunway de...

i got 45% intention 2 transfer 2 other colleges nex sitting....

not say sunway is not gud...in fact...i tink sunway is d best ACCA college in South East Asia...

coz im not local...im from outstation...so its kinda troublesome for me 2 travel in kl....
