do i make the right choice ?

it is so fast ~ one year has almost passed ..last year i was still secondary school student - took SPM .. now is my junior turn to take it .. all the best for them .. this month is crucial for them , as well as for me .. my final 4 papers to determine whether i will continue to ACCA .. or stayback for another 6 months ..

quite a number of my friends place high expectation of me - to be world prize .. i will do my best .. as it is not impossible ... but sometimes depend on my luck ...

back to main topic , to SPM holders this year who will be deciding what course to go next year , i can give a brief introduction of different professional accountancy courses :-

• ACCA - recognised in UK and worldwide .. more exam-oriented with less assignment .. main syllabus of finance , costing , management accounting , auditing , tax planning , law ( general ) , management decision .. CAT - ACCA faster route -3 years to complete everything with cheap tuition fees - rm 40 k can complete everything ..
  

• CIMA - more focus on factory industry .. management accounting , costing and decision making ..

• CPA - recognised in Australia mainly .. can earn high salary if work in Australia .. after taking ACCA , there are a lot papers exempted here .. my dad says only last few papers of CPA to be taken to be CPA holder ..
  

• ICAEW - i just get to know this course from Sunway college .. actually im invited to attend one of the seminar as im shortlisted for it .. but i was sicked that day so didnt manage to attend .. in short , it takes 5 years to complete .. with 1 year for studying - 4 years work part-time study with BDO ... ( if im not mistaken ) .. CFAB - ICAEW takes 5.5years ( in Sunway College ) . fast exposure to working environment at young age with BDO sponsoring salary at the age of 19 years old .. work during day , study at night = lifeless .. lolz

• CIM - marketing professional course which i plan to take after ACCA ... i heard from my lecturer that ACCA students - " square " / CIM students - " round " .. they are trained to be decisive and innovative .. comes out with ideas and brainstorm with the group .. marketing - key element for business which encourages me to take .. take 1 year to complete only ..
