ACCA myths and misconceptions

[usmanaftab24]

hello,

i myself am studying for 'core' exams for
ACCA and i'm from an o'levels background.

your article was very very convincing and had
most what most of the students at my stage
want o know.

i myself was making my mind on whether to go for
ACA (ICAP) or for CFA.

CFA is the obvious choice now, but kindly recommend
me that whether i should also work as an ACCA affiliate
trainee along wid studying for CFA? or just focus on
completing the CFA first?
Secondly, kindly explain in detail the procedure of internship
in CFA.

And yes, after having given my optional papers, i downloaded
the module E and F papers, and i felt lyk as if i had already
studied everything at ACCA but i understand that it's not
so easy to pass. so, ifimable to get an ACA degree as well,
will it be an added advantage?

And inshort u meant that we should look for the right kind
of training (internship) after completeing the ACCA. The
job should more analytical in nature to enhance and make
gud use of skills developed while studying for ACCA.
But plz explain how should one do it.
which firms offer such analytical jobs and if we work
as trainees at an audit firm such as fordrhodes, are we
gonna be working to enhance our book=keeping skills only? (lyk u said).please explain that how to get the right kind of
training. which firms to go for and is it lyk that we
should ask for the job descriptions and then choose
which firms to join?

thanks..
Usman.
