BTW, does the OBU degree qualification can be equivalent to local university degree?

LAst time, I ask my lecturer B$, the answer is "NO!! " from Malaysia JPA system.

However, I heard that Big4 is trying to recognise it as DEGREE, but not yet.

You mean from the point of Big 4, OBU degree is not a degree at all??????

Just imagine ACCA graduate = Degree pay . (Yup, ACCA only same payt wit Degree)

If BIG4 recognise OBU Degree same like LOCAL UNiversity Degree pay, HOW can those ACCA graduate satisfied ?? (unless Big4 willing to pay ACCA graduate higher tongue.gif )

this may differ to other opinion... my fwen told me that :
BIG 4:
u only do simple task in ur first year..i.e. bank reconcil.,etc this may occur that big 4 has creditable sufficient existing staff, as a freshie..u have a limited things to learn..
wherelse medium firm, they really,really need u..probably due to shortage of staff..and in certain event..u may do some task that is way out of ur job scope..but not worth as the salary paid less than big 4 i.e. RM2400..for medium around range of 14XX..
but other say that big 4 will really..really make u work..ie..u may heard people say nite camp at the office..
more info u may visit our own forum on big 4 Big 4 recruitment drive thumbup.gif

Big4 really shortage of people also la !!

Unlike the old time, nowadays freshie (like me) can not tahan the workload or resign even like less than 1 year.

Now, u can learn a lot in big4 !!

But, like me, I can not tahan the work load la...

i am intended to leave TARC and go SUNWAY to pursue my ACCA externally.
As i know, i will be exempted F1-F5....
If go Sunway, I may take F6-F9, then P1-P3, and last 2 Papers. ( 1 and Half year)
Really not sure where to go...
Sunway or Continue TARC?
I am DAC student in TARC now... If continue at TARC, i still have merit scholrship.
If go Sunway, there is no scholarship for diploma holder.

QUOTE(scorpiok @ Mar 30 2008, 11:47 AM)
how much is ur CGPA, wat u means by merit scholarship..
as i know, scholarship only for CGPA 3.75 and above..

since both also can exempt, y u need to go for a more expensive place...
some more can exempted until F9 in TARC..
*
CGPA 3.65 already entitled for 50% scolarship la !! smile.gif

I think u better go to Sunway !! TARC fees is so low , therefore I don't think u need the scholarship !! It won't help much unless u wan the scolarshp certificate !

Sunway do provide good lecturer & the best part is, the study environment there is damn good, everyone is studying !! biggrin.gif (Maybe stressful also, u do not dare to fail there )

My CGPA is 3.8771... deteriorate soon because not perform well last semester.
But still entitled for 50% or 75%..
*
True la . actually I am full scholarship holder for Diploma & advanced Diploma (CGPA >3.85 entitled 100%) vistit www.tarc.edu.my
U work hard for CGPA 3.9 for UTAR scholatrship la !! MY time, UTAR need CGPA 4.0 for scholarship smile.gif
Edited : (UTAR has reduced their requirement again, CGPA 3.800 already entitled biggrin.gif , just visit www.utar.edu.my)

But, I quit TARC after attend for 2 weeks of its Advanced Diploma. The lecturers there, I really felt NOT GOOD la..

Does it mean exam paper will be exactly the same, just different countries variants will resulted in different answers since the standard applied vary among countries?


Added on March 30, 2008, 10:17 pmI come to serious about the matter after I heard from a friend that Singapore is not recognized Malaysian ACCA grad as par ACCA affiliates. And Malaysian ACCA grad will only be deemed as Part 2 ACCA level.  mad.gif

Hence I wanna find out is there any difference to take ACCA at different countries (other than Law and Tax papers).

No, your friend is completely wrong !

A few of my friends are working in Singapore with thir ACCA obtaned in Malaysia

i am in dilemma now.. want to shift to sunway or not? TARC lecturer better or sunway?
what i know after research is: SUnway better because the students there are very diligent..
Lecturers better as Big4 have close relationship with sunway and do send their employees there for part time studies.
am i right?
But... moon yuen.. why u didnt go SHU,Uk to get ur SHU degree?
U study AFA last time?
*
I was AFA student for 2 weeks, "drop out" from TARC tongue.gif

I actually INti graduate la..

I think u know which one is better .... smile.gif

u joined 2 weeks...that mean not yet pay the tuition fee bill yet lo... 100% scholarshipholder, needs to pay annual fees n admin fees also one mah...
i admired ur decision. But, did it any difference if compared to ur friend in TARC?
We are diploma holder in TARC.. though everyone has its own discretion to determine its route to acca.
The time u go Inti, got scholarship?
My parents support whatever decision i made. Go sunway or tarc.... now i want to go sunway, but scare what i hear now is not exactly yes when i studyin there. is sunway better? i want to find a good studying environment which everyone is studying. TARC too bad... Many STPM and SPM failurer and certificate students... CGPA around 2 or belw. no place to go... finally go TARC..
indeed, competitive environment makes perfect. If TARC did not offer merit scholarship, i bet those excellent students will never go, unless those really from poverty or money face.
Everything has good and bad.... just no hv someone to critise it. i bet sunway also has disadvantages.
i know what should i do d... do something difference than other...
*
I think you have give yourself ANSWER !! smile.gif

TARC, that time, not yet even print out the student bill yet !! tongue.gif
Terrible management !!
(Anyway, I still got the Advanced Diploma Scholarship Certificate even I m not their student, my friend help me to take one !!)
Most students from Sunway is damn hardworking, u will adapt their "hardworking" culture.
