I ask on behalf of my friend sister.
She come to my house & asking whetner to take ACCA or studying Matriks/STPM for local accountancy degree !!
She said her teacher told her that local university accountacny degree graduate wit 3 years experiene can join MIA member. but, I thought only profeesional degree (ACCA, MIA test ) only can opt for MIA member, am I right ??
So, my question is Local degree accountaacy wit 3 yrs experience = MIA member ??

QUOTE(killingspree @ Jan 7 2008, 11:33 PM) if im not mistaken, local degree (accounting) recognized by MIA, work in Audit area for three years than u applicable to become MIA member. local degree (accounting) is recognized by MIA ? So, how about UTAR, MMU other private colleges that offer Degree programme that is accredited by LAN ? Last time, I heard by lecturer, we need to do MIA or ACCA test in order to MIA member. The local U + 3 years experience NO LONGER work. (Yup, its acceptable last time, but not NOW) But, my friend UTAR accounting graduate, still take MIA !! Why ?I m not sure, I need to clarify... So, I should advice her to take local u degree since she wan a "easy" way. I have problem logging into MIA website. http://www.mia.org.my/mia/accountant/appli...ide.asp?mid=160This post has been edited by Irresistible: Jan 8 2008, 12:07 AM

QUOTE(seantang @ Jan 10 2008, 12:27 AM) It's accredited local U (listed in Part I First Schedule) + 3 years supervised experience OR recognised professional membership (listed in Part II First Schedule) + 3 years supervised experience OR MIA qualifying exam + 3 years supervised experience. IMHO, always do a degree rather than a professional qualification that allows you to skip a university education (ie. MICPA, ACCA, CIMA or MIA). Why? A degree stays with you for life, but a professional qualification only as long as you pay the yearly subscription. In addition, no matter how much MICPA, ACCA and CIMA holders like to call themselves 'graduates' - they didn't actually graduate. You graduate from university. You PASS a professional qualification exam. If you really die-die also want a professional qualification (eg. join MIA and get your audit licence perhaps), the best option is to get a professional qualification which entry requires that you first gain a university accounting degree eg. Australian CPA or any of the Institutes of CAs (CA Chartered Accountant, which btw is not the same as the CCA Chartered Certified Accountant from ACCA). The problem here is MIA only recognise a few of the local university only !! Most of the college or private univesity that offer Accounting Degree are not recognised by MIA at this moment, including UTAR, UNITAR etc. And having professinal qualifiaction enable u to work outside Malaysia .
