Just check from their websites and email them if you need to.

If I had an accounting degree from a local U that's on MIA's list, I wouldn't bother getting ACCA, MICPA and CIMA.

A local acctg degree accredited by MIA entitles you to join MIA after fulfilling the work experience requirements. And once you're a CA with MIA, you can do everything from calling yourself an accountant, to getting an audit licence.

In addition, you can use your membership of MIA to gain entry into reciprocating foreign statutory accounting bodies.

Why bother doing ACCA, MICPA, CIMA, or even CA or CPA when you already have a direct route to the ultimate destination ie. MIA CA? You don't need another professional qualification when you already have a qualification from a statutory accounting body.

If you really want to spend some time studying, might as well do a higher qualification like a Masters or a professional qualification that expands beyond accounting like a CFA.

I would say ACCA as I took it too. laugh.gif
ACCA gives global recognition. Working in overseas countries like UK wont be issue at least.
Hope this helps tongue.gif
