To be very true nothing has got worth in these times of recession because when i got into ACCA in 2008 my seniors when they were in their last stage of ACCA i.e. ACCA finalist were having jobs of 35K+ and after qualification the salary went beyond 50K. Nowadays you wont find a job for ACCA qualified of even 15K. my advice is to do ACCA as after clearing till f9 you will be able to apply for Bsc in applied accounting for which you would be required to write a thesis. If it is accepted you will be awarded Bsc from Oxford Brookes university. Similarly after completion of ACCA you can go for ICAEW and get yourself registered for 3 years at a registered audit firm or some companies. During your 3 years training you will be required to give 2 exams which cover course content from P2 and P3. One case study is also required to be submitted. After which you will be ACA. that ACA can be used to claim a reciprocal membership in ICAP which would give you a status of CA from ICAP but if you wish to practice law and tax than you need to give additional exams of LAW and TAX of ICAP. if you have got time and resources than go for it. Otherwise You can opt for a job at bank or some financial institution after ACCA and than do CFA. Both these options would make u rich man ;p
