@Graxlar_v3 ACCA is tough, but then if it wasn't, it wouldn't be worth while. On reflection I think I would have preferred CIMA, the modules that were more management accounting orientated were my favorite. My own personal experience was doing it all distance study from text books and free online materials because I couldn't afford courses, also I live quite rural and the nearest courses were several hours drive away. The route I took is doable if you are prepared to sacrifice a lot of evenings and weekends, but it gets a bit lonely. I certainly never want to see the inside of an exam hall again! Personally I find the PER (practical experience requirements) more onerous, I've had to leave a job of many years in order to try to get it all signed off, but if you work in a practice already, it's probably much easier. Also I second your point about maths and accountancy being different things. It's more about analysis and being able to understand and apply the many, many, principles and standards that make up the various frameworks out there! My mental arithmetic is quite weak, but I can bust out a decent Excel spreadsheet with control totals. |
