What is CA?
If i want to study accounting ,where do i start first.  Degree in university or ACCA

Alpha:
Chartered Accountant.

LOL, I think you should start at school.  ;D


Where do you live? In countries like mine, ACCA is enough to get you a job.

pastyear:
Ya my country like that too but Chartered Accountant is CPA not the ACCA.
Start from school is that means have to study degree in Accounting then proceed to ACCA?
What is the difficulties in ACCA? I heard it was hard.
Since you (Alpha) you study economics before is it hard in the sence of this subject have a lot of new things need to learnt from years to years and need a lot of analysis and application skill?

Alpha:
Well, I don't think you need a degree in Accounting to do ACCA.

Start from school, am talking about SC and HSC.  ;D ;)

Difficulties in ACCA? I heard from the others it was pretty easy... Well, everyone have their own views. I was advised to do ACCA first, then pursue management.

Economics, you know what? When I took this subject in Form 4, everybody was telling me: "It's the bulkiest syllabus that you're taking, Eco is so heavy, it's so dynamic, always changing, bla bla..."

Yet I took it, cause it was a subject I wanted to do. Yes, Eco needs A LOT of analysis and application skills. But there is absolutely no reason why you can't do it. Eco is 'common sense applied in business, political, and social issues'.

If you think you can do it, do it. But if you think you cannot take the risk, you still have many other subjects. Accounting is one of them. :)

$tyli$h Executive:
This may be an embarrassing question but I really don't know the meaning or abbreviation of ACCA. Could you please clarify it?

And yes you are right. In O level I had a complete science background. I knew nothing about business studies or economics. But still in AS I made a dramatic decision to change completely to business and ICT background because that was what I wanted to do. Only my dad supported me! Everybody including my mom bombarded me with advices that I did good in o level and it was foolish to take such a risk now. I remained adamant over my decision. And my result was very good.

So pastyear, if you are in an indecision, just follow what your mind says and what you WANT to do. Do not take your decision based on what the 'current opportunity' seems to be.
