    1.Career Development Scenario:

    Countless ACCA members work as accountants, auditors, financial managers and financial controllers in the world's Big Four accounting firms and in many multinational corporations. ACCA's qualifications are highly regarded in the international accounting community, and its members can work in senior accounting, auditing, taxation and financial management around the world, especially in Commonwealth countries, EU countries and multinational groups.

    ACCA professional qualifications are not only widely recognized internationally, but also recognized by domestic enterprises, known as "MBA in the financial industry" and "golden job bowl in the accounting industry". ACCA's members and trainees in China can develop their careers in multinational corporations and accounting firms, such as CEOs, CFOs, management accountants, business consultants, analysts, auditors, tax professionals, etc.

    ACCA's recognized employers are: Microsoft (China)****, Chinese Life Insurance****, Lenovo, Shell (China)****, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Certified Public Accountants**** Beijing Branch, Novartis Overseas Investment****, Dow Chemical (China) Investment****, Zhongyi Life Insurance****, KPMG Huazhen, LehmanBrown International Accounting Firm, Lucent Technology (China)****, etc.

    ACCA is a degree and CPA is a vocational qualification. Can't compare.

    However, at present, in China, the awareness of ACCAs cannot be compared with CPA. The difficulty can't be compared.

    CMA do not take the test, although the US note is good, but you must take the Chinese test, if you take the Chinese test, the company generally does not recognize, and the certificate will have to wait a long time to get it. The main reason is that the company does not recognize that it is difficult to find employment, and it is recommended that CPA is really useful, although it is difficult to take the exam, but you can sign up for classes, and you have to make a lot of determination! After all, the pass rate is only about 10%, the gold content is very high, and the four basically hold CPA.

    Then there is the ACCA, in fact, you only need to consult to know that this certificate can only be regarded as second-rate in the UK. CPA is more practical, and although students can't take the test, you can prepare for it. In addition, SOA has a huge gold content (it can be called the gold collar of the gold collar), but it is very difficult to test, and you can also consider it if you are good at math.

    1. Of course, it is CPA, and you can't take CPA in your sophomore year. If you are a sophomore, it is recommended that you take the ACCA first. Of course, those who promote ACCA say that ACCA is good, but if you look at how many subjects ACCA has been tested in various recruitments, it is how many subjects have been taken in CPA.

    2. Because of some policy issues in China, the Big Four require a large number of CPA certificates, not ACCA. Therefore, now those who have achieved high audit in the four major generally have CPA certificates.

    3. There are not many requirements for certificates, mainly looking at work experience, but CPA is the best, followed by ACCA. State-owned enterprises do not look at certificates and people.

    4. Without much explanation, CMA is better than ACCA.

    5. The highest gold content is CFA3 level, but it is extremely difficult to take the test, and the gold content of CPA is also very high.

    6. The certificate does not represent employment prospects, and the company requires CPA because you will develop your financial thinking after taking the CPA exam.

    7. The bank work is relatively easy, and the overtime situation of the four major is very serious, but the overtime pay is also very high.

    Summary: If you have time in your sophomore year, you will first take the ACCA and CFA Level 1 and Level 2, which have no academic requirements. CPA certificate requires a minimum college degree, and students in school cannot register (there are agents who report, but now the check is stricter, and it is a bit of a waste if you can't take the exam after a year of hard work).

    1. When entering a bank, finance should be better than accounting. If you want to enter a foreign bank, CFA and ACCA will definitely be more popular.

    2. Of course, Chinese accounting firms pay more attention to the note.

    As far as I know, PwC has a hard requirement for a certificate to be a manager, and the note will be the same as ACCA.

    3. State-owned enterprises, certificates or something, or not useful through the back door.

    4. What foreign companies value is not the certificate, but your English level and work ability. Large companies such as Procter & Gamble are more interested in BEC and TOEIC.

    5. Internationally, CFA has the highest gold content, but there are also a lot of fees and courses you have to take.

    If you have no foundation in finance and economics, it is recommended to take the Chinese accounting qualification certificate, assistant, junior, intermediate, and senior accountant. Unless you want to go abroad, ACCA, CFA or something is a complete waste of money for people who have no foundation.

    6. As for employment prospects, each has its own merits. The key is that these three certificates are difficult to test, and if you get any of them, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking.

    7. Banks are certainly easier than the Big Four, but people who come out of the Big Four are more popular. It's the experience that matters.

    Today, I would like to talk to you about the things between ACCA's choice and CPA. Some students asked, which is better, ACCA or CPA? My answer is to choose what you choose.

    First of all, from the perspective of application conditions, the application conditions of ACCAA adhere to the principle of wide entry and strict exit, and all Chinese citizens over the age of 16 can apply for the examination. The application conditions for CPA are much stricter, and students can only apply for the exam in their senior year.

    From the perspective of examination time, ACCA has many examination seasons and flexible time, F1-F3 can be taken at any time, and the remaining subjects have four examination seasons per year, candidates can choose any examination season to apply for the exam, and the CPA examination time is only once a year.

    From the point of view of the content of the exam, the ACCA's 14 subjects and answers in English have scared many people, but in fact, ACCA does not have high requirements for English, just master the professional terms of finance and accounting, and ACCA's candidates for finance and accounting-related majors also have different degrees of subject exemptions, up to nine can be exempted, and more importantly, the ACCA assessment content only accounts for one-third of the content learned, and the form of the question is fixed, and there will be no deviation from the topic; CPA exam subjects are not as many as ACCA, as long as you pass 7 subjects, except for the later comprehensive test will involve English, the other is basically Chinese answers, but the CPA exam is rich in content, there will be more deviations and strange questions, so the average pass rate is lower than ACCA.

    Based on the comparison of the above three aspects of ACCA and CPA, friends should have their own choices in their hearts, so let's take action!

    ACCA can be taken and studied during the school period, and CPA is open to professionals!

    It is very good for college students to take the ACCA exam, ACCA is very suitable for college students, you can start to study ACCA from the freshman year to take the FIA first, you can officially sign up for the exam in the sophomore year, start the exam from F4, and if you go well before graduating from college, you can take the ACCA exam.

    First, let's take a look at the applicability of ACCA. ACCAA is currently the world's largest accounting organization, with 100,000 members and more than 200,000 students, distributed in 160 countries around the world. ACCA, in addition to the United Kingdom, is mainly recognized in Commonwealth countries.

    In China, since ACCA entered China in the early 90s, the public recognition has also been increasing. Foreign companies, foreign accounting firms, and companies listed overseas with a background mainly in Europe and the United States have been widely recognized. Of course, due to the high salary level of ACCA in general, and the different accounting systems studied in China and other reasons, ACCA does not seem to have a great place in state-owned enterprises and private enterprises.

    Secondly, take a look at the curriculum of ACCA. For details, please refer to the ACCA official website**. Thirteen courses covering accounting, auditing, tax law, financial management, management systems, corporate strategy, financial investment and other aspects.

    Compared to China's CICPA, it is much more comprehensive. It covers a body of knowledge that a CFO should normally have. Learning is not so boring, and it still pays more attention to the combination of knowledge and practice.

    Some candidates, even if they are not well prepared, can still use their own experience and accumulation to make up for the lack of preparation when answering questions in the exam, and it is because of this reason. So in general, even if you don't have any special purpose for studying. At the very least, ACCA is a good, well-established financial training course.

    Furthermore, the course is in English. Textbooks, exercises, online materials, etc., are in English. The exam is also in English, and most of the questions in the exam are essay questions or "essay plus calculation" questions, which are very important for answering questions in an orderly manner.

    Therefore, you can improve your English level comprehensively and exercise your ability to read, think and write in English.

    Also, the most practical point is that after taking the ACCA exam and having an ACCA membership. It can enhance your own value. As for how much to raise, it varies from person to person.

    But in any case, a well-trained, fluent English communication, English report, proficient in Chinese and international accounting systems, certain work experience, and a foreign accounting certificate are still scarce resources in China, at least much less than CICPA, MBA. In this case, when you meet a boss who knows the goods, you are naturally willing to offer a higher price.

    It is impossible to study ACCA and CPA at the same time and complete the exam as soon as you graduate, because ACCA is different from CPA, ACCA cannot apply for 14 subjects at a time, and CPA can apply for 6 subjects at a time.

    It is best for college students to take the ACCAA first, because the ACCA, which can be taken during college, and the CPA can only be taken after graduation.

    No way. CPA can only be taken in the senior year. ACCA can be taken from the freshman year. You can finish the exam in your senior year.

    I don't really know the first question, I haven't worked in a bank.

    The second thing that the local Chinese firm values most is the CPA, which has the right to sign. In fact, it doesn't matter if you want to enter the Big Four, you need to read English first, and if you have a certificate, you will be promoted faster, but it is still based on CPA certificate.

    Thirdly, it doesn't matter if the state-owned enterprises are state-owned, but if the foreign company is from which country it is, the Commonwealth is more likely to recognize the ACCA, the American company is the AICPA of the United States, and the Americans in China are not recognized.

    The fourth question, like the third, looks at the company.

    The fifth word, the highest gold content is CPA, the remaining two are about the same, if your future major is finance, CFA is more suitable for you, if you set accounting, go to CPA. However, among the three exams, CPA is the most difficult.

    The sixth question, which is undoubtedly CPA, basically you have a job when you have this certificate. Even if you have no work experience, it is not difficult to find a job with a CPA certificate, and at worst, you can get a job in a firm.

    The seventh question, if you go to the Big Four, the first few years are basically waiting to be exhausted, and after getting through, you will get better. The job in the bank will be much easier.

    The eighth question, I don't know much about Hong Kong, but in China, these certificates are all recognized.

    Overall, it is recommended that you take the CPA exam, but that is really difficult, only one person in his teens and twenties can live, but the salary is relatively good, even in the 2-3rd tier cities in China, if you work in the firm, wait for you to work for 3 or 5 years, and then 10 tens of thousands a year is at least. CFA has a bit of a management flavor in it, ACCA, to be honest, it's useless, it's just a supplement to the CPA certificate, and then you can take the exam if you have a CPA certificate.

    CPA, CFA, and ACCA, all of which can enter state-owned enterprises, foreign companies, and all of them can enter the bank, and it is not possible to say which certificate is the most useful for you to enter which unit.

    2. Domestic firms and the four metropolises value ACCA and CPA, and when you go in, these two certificates are not important, but if you want to do it in the firm, you have to have CPA, just because of one point, the right to sign.

    3. It's no different, the larger state-owned enterprises won't care if you take the ACCA, not the CPA.

    4. Depending on the situation, depending on the work you are involved in, if it is more international, you must value ACCA, and there is not much difference in China, and foreign companies generally value CPA because of the right to sign.

    5. CFA has the highest gold content, but for your current situation, you can't learn, it involves a lot of deep mathematical models, and the training course is not very useful, it is best to have other certificates and other promotions and then consider that you can only take the exam after graduation Now, I recommend ACCA, and I personally prefer ACCA, this certificate is wide in and strict out, starting from scratch, gradually improving, and the future employment is very wide, and it will be better to enter a foreign company.

    6. Refer to 5, but the certificate is only one of the capitals of employment, and it is not mentioned based on its own conditions.

    7, the four must be tired, you have heard of the four tired people, hehe, but the four are still very popular as a springboard, and it is very considerable to come out in three years, and the ultimate goal of most of the four people is CFO.

    8. Refer to the elves of the deep mountains, and unconsciously write more ......

    Personal advice, consider your current situation, sink down for three years to get this certificate, and then you get the English + certificate, I wish you all the best.
