...to proste! Jedno C mniej!

[Gość: DRAB]

ACA to kwalifikacje przyznawne przez The Institute of Chartered Accountants in
England & Wales a ACCA przez ACCA:)

ACA jest uznawane w UK za bardziej "swojskie" i tradycyjne, ale rowniez
bardziej konserwatywne i wymagane najczesciej przy czysto "ksiegowych"
robotach.
Generalnie jest to jedno i to samo - grunt to byc juz qualified czyli
byc "czlonkiem":)

[Gość: Miszczu]

ACA jest rowniez uwazane za bardziej prestizowe. Przegladnij oferty na
www.monster.co.uk to czasem pojawia sie ze chca ACA ale rozwaza CIMA lub ACCA.

Slyszalem jak ktos powiedzial, ze ACCA to nie sa "prawdziwe" kwalifikacje.
Ubodlo mnie to do zywego, ale coz....

[Gość: kasia]

Czesc Miszczu.
Pytam poniewaz mam wkrotce rozmowe kwalifikacyjna i pracodawca oferuje
finansowanie kosztow ACA. Domyslam sie, ze bedzie pytanie czemu akurat ACA a
sama poki co przegladajac obie strony internetowe roznic nie znalazlam.
(jedynie to, ze czesto ACCA robia tez ACA, co mnie zdziwilo :-/)
Pozdrawiam

Moze ten link Ci pomoze - co prawda to o Pakistanie, ale oddaje rowniez to co
ludzie mowia na ten temat na Wyspach...
www.accountancy.com.pk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=582&whichpage=3
W mojej spolce-matce w Irlandi wszyscy sa qualified ale tylko 1 osoba ma
ACCA... to troche mowi o tym co jest bardziej prestizowe. Ja mam ACCA i nie
czuje kompleksow.

To raczej malo prawdopodobne, zeby ktos z ACCA robil jeszcze ACA. To tak jakby
ktos skonczyl Akademie Ekonomiczna i potem SGH...

W sumie ACCA i ACA to bardzo podobne kwalifikacje rozpoznawane w Wielkiej
Brytani (bardziej ACA) i Europie (tu chyba bardziej ACCA), ktore po spelnieniu
okreslonych warunkow daja mozliwosc praktykowania jako public accountant

[Gość: DRAB]

Nikt powazny nie powie ze jedne kwalifikacje sa gorsze od innych. ACA jest w
ciaz oparta na UK GAAP, ktory bylo nie bylo jest dinozurem na wymarciu. Ale z
drugiej strony jest to kwalifikacja angielska a nie szkocka lub co gorsza
jaks "miedzynarodowa" jak ACCA.
W mojej firmie (UK) jeden dzal (audyt) popycha ACA, a inne dzialy ktore
potrzebuje podobnej wiedzy (TS,Forensic) jedzie ACCA

Poczytaj jakies forum to okaze sie, ze jest duzo ludzi niepowaznych.

Subject ACCA/ACA Debate
Message I keep hearing the same old thing in my office. Chartered are better
than Certified, I am studying ACCA, but certain people think ACA is higher up
the ladder than ACCA, I think this is somewhat untrue as to my knowledge ACCA
can do everything ACA can do, and what I have been hearing is ACCA is more
recognised around the world than ACA. Any fresh input is appreciated. Thanks

Message CA from ICAS is the most prestigious qualification - just ask anyone in
Scotland ..... To be serious - certainly where I work CA (Scottish) is awarded
a higher prestige than ACA which is again awarded a higher prestige than ACCA -
but I reckon there is a lot of Institute snobbery going on ....

Subject "were better than you"
Message Dont get too caught up in this whole one upmanship that goes on in the
profession. Chartereds look down their noses at everyone, ACCA look down on
CIMA etc etc. The point is that ACCA and ACA are both of a very high standard
and both are good qualifications with only difference possibly being what youre
going to do with the qualification once attained. I will say that i have in the
past found chartereds to be quite snobby/cliquey towards the rest of the
profession and hence theres never been chance of a merger down to one or two
main bodies which would avoid public confusion.

Message I am studying ACCA as well. I have no problem with it as my goal is to
get the BSC (Hons) Degree in Applied Accounting through the ACCA/Oxford Brookes
Partnership. The organistaion I work for recognises CIMA. As an Accounting
technician you are an accounting professional so do not let anyone take that
away from you so do not worry about being certified or chartered either. Which
ever professional body you join you ave to put a lot of work into regardless.

Message May I ask how you are finding ACCA. It was my original choice of
progression until I heard it was very audit orientated. I have recently applied
for CIMA membership, as this is what my employer (accountancy pratice
specialising in Corporate Finance) has recommended. Any comments you may have
would be greatly appreciated.

Message If you're considering studying for ACCA, you may wish to check out the
website of the Association for Accounting and Business Affairs:
visar.csustan.edu/aaba/accanewspage.html It's run by the Professor of
Finance at Essex University, and has a couple of MP's amongst it's trustees. I
feel that this is something you ought to know about before commiting your
future hopes and ambitions. Don't forget, you can qualify as a CIMA accountant
in public practice as well as in industry, as Michelle has indicated above, and
in my opinion a Senior Accounting Technician stands comparison with any CCAB
accountant.

Message It is right we shouldn't enter into a debate over whose better - just
be content with what you've chosen and make the best you can out of it.
However, in my experience there is nothing worse than an auditor, usually ACA,
leaving practice and coming into the business world. They just don't have a
clue to the real world because for years they been following check lists and
following manuals etc its messed their heads up - too short sighted for my
liking. They always struggle with decisions made for commercial reasons how
many times have you been repeatly questioned because they can't comprehend what
has happened and christ now they're your colleague/boss!!! Sound familiar? So
forget whether your ACCA or ACA or even CIMA just don't ever be like an ex-
auditor ;)

Subject One comment
Message I qualified AAT and then ACCA. I have worked in firms of chartered
accountants and trained ACAs. The ACA students are told that they are doing the
premier qualification and never look at another paper. When one of the ACA
students needed some additional help in tax I offered to let her see an ACCA
paper and answers. She was surprised at the level of the paper. One lecturer
once described the position (as it was five or so years ago), which do you want
to do, a narrower syllabus that goes into greater depth (ACA) or a much wider
syllabus that cannot go into the same depth (ACCA).

przeczytalem i nic z tego nie wynika - nikt tam nie twierdzi ze ACA ma wyzsza
renome tylko ze ktos cos slyszal. Nikt powazny nie bedzie nic insynuowac, bo
mozna za to wyleciec i z ICAEW, i z ACCA.
Czy ktos, szczegolnie w UK bedzie twierdzil ze CA z RPA jest gorsze od np.
ACCA - nonsens.
Istotne jest to zdanie: "narrower syllabus that goes into greater depth (ACA)
or a much wider syllabus that cannot go into the same depth (ACCA)" - zgadzam
sie z tym w 100%

Jak ktos komus chce fundowac nauke to nie ma sie co zastanawiac.
