Kay heres a scenario...Say for the last year of my ACCA papers, i go over to Australia to do them and work there for 3-4 years...Once thats over and i come back to Malaysia to work, would the experience i gained overseas give me if a bigger advantage than if i had worked here the entire time in terms of pay and job promotion?
Im just finished the first sem of my CAT btw.

this was my first time going to ACCA career fair too. it was pretty useful i would say. the BDO Binder career talk was interesting. managed to talk with OCBC deputy CEO Mr. Jeffery Chew just before i left he is a very nice and friendly person and managed to give good advices too 

i think i will join finance instead of audit coz that's my interest but i've dropped the resume for audit position in the career fair...how ar? is it fine for fresh grad to go to advisory without audit background? advice plz guys.....

is the acca career fair really crowded???
and any thing to share with us

Career talk is what ah? Is it companies will conduct something like "seminar" and explain what they want to see from graduates or u have to walk to them to talk with them personally?

career talk?? need to pay for it??
i read the magazine of ACCA need to pay hundred plus for ???

No need pay for the career fair,actually it is like a career fair organise by jobstreet etc,just this is the one organise by the ACCA and more specific to financial area of career..

one more news,Dr. Choong Kwai Fatt might conduct revision class for tax paper this coming sitting,so for those who intended to take tax papers,please take note lo...

Off course lo, cos tomolo already 1/7/2008. I dun think he will suddenly run normal class, cos he need a lot of time to prepare the study material for student.

Anyone, please answer my query?

I think you misunderstanding my mearning. Wat I mean was tomolo already July and I dun think KwaI Fatt got time to run normal class cos he need more time for preparing the study material for student.

According to history oso, if he planning to run normal class, he will confirm earlier with SEGI at May. Since nothing  from him, so he won't be conduct any normal class.

nono, not the answer booklet. I'm talking bout the question booklet. Answer booklet ofcoz need write desk number. But I was wondering if they would penalize us if we did not write desk number on question booklet.

CIMA is more orrientated in management accounting which constitutes a wider scope covered in F5 & P5 in ACCA. It is appropriate for students who are more interested in decision making aspects of accounting. The qualification was less recognised in many countries compared to ACCA but it covers more exposure than ACCA. It is deemed harder to pass CIMA as it was more "theory-orientated" than ACCA. Most accounting terminologies in ACCA was derived / "photo-copied" from CIMA.  CIMA is more famous in UK compared to Malaysia as there are less CIMA students & tuition provider in Malaysia.

Regarding Statement of changes in equity, it shows the movement of capital / equity of company not assets. For example it shows increases / decreases in share capital & share premium which are probably affected by issue of shares or redemption of shares (shares buyback). In real life the equity portion is more relevant to shareholders who are more interested in the returns (dividends). The SCE shows the movement of equty which will probably affect the shares price, dividend, rifghts issue,.......etc.

Actually i also need recommendation on where to take CIMA?

pretty hard to find job now in auditing firm isn't? waiting and waiting 

Thanks! Hope to see you there too...
I found it so too...all the waiting and waiting...

I think you can call ACCA is a "simple" professional course but "never easy".

The reason i said so it is not fair to describe ACCA as merely "brain-dumping" exercise (throw everything you know or memorise).
Some prefer to call it "bullshitting" (argue & explain based on your knowledge not on text provided). It is partially correct to say it that way for P1,P3 and some professional papers (even certain lecturers admit so). ACCA is simple to define but never easy to comprehend as it is impossible that no theoretical, models, formulaes, framework will be included in any ACCA syllabus.

It will do no justice to those who had failed once / twice ...... in any ACCA papers as this was a norm in the past history. Sometimes you need to be a hardworking student (pratice, memorise, no truancy) or a smart student (focus, innovative, reasoning) or the aggresive student (get every kaplan, BPP books he / she can get). Some approach work on certain papers and some failed completely, while some were lucky to spot the correct topic.

Well i don't know most of you out there but i can deduce from my past experience, most ACCA students have a common behaviour.
B4 result = scared to death, negative mind-set, a pass will suffice, conduct a party if pass, pray very hard, stay up all day to wait for result.....
After result (if pass) = complain why marks not high enough   (for those aiming for world prize), telling juniors the paper was not so tough actually.
After result (if fail) = You don't want me to tell do ya?

Sigh, just called ACCA Malaysia and they have been unable to help me. Asked them regarding JPA thingy and the women who was talking to me was clueless. Asked some other question and she keep put me on hold and needed to check from somewhere else.
