For a long time, many people have been pursuing ACCA and CPA, which is more worthy of examination?

First of all, there are only two kinds of people who can ask this question: one is a novice who has just come into contact with accounting and finance, and the other is an accounting scum who fantasizes about pie all day. Use your head, okay? Beginners don't know, but after a long time, they will know that ACCA and CPA are both certificates worthy of examination. What about those who have fantasy symptoms? I have been in business for several years, and I don't know what ACCA is. International certified public accountants and China certified public accountants are both certificates worthy of examination, okay? Can you "say" the day by taking a CPA exam? Isn't it going to last ten or eight years? Besides state-owned enterprises and accounting firms, how many large enterprises will want you? People's audit reports can go directly to the firm to find decades of audit signatures. Do you want it? Don't worry, the enterprise is not at ease.

Similarly, just taking ACCA is not perfect. Although you can strut and choose from many large domestic and foreign enterprises, although ACCA can get you a promotion and salary increase online in your career, you will never enjoy the right to review and sign in China. Even if you have traveled in Britain, Singapore, Ireland and other countries for tens of thousands of times, you will never be able to issue the approval right in China. Only in China.

Well, since you are still obsessed with the comparison between ACCA and CPA, I'll help others to the end and send them to Buddhist paradise! Hey! I sorted out the posts about ACCA and CPA in Zhihu. Look at what these great gods in Zhihu say!

The following are various answers from the great god Zhihu:

ACCA has high gold content and is worth taking an examination of. Although the certificate can't represent everything, it is a valuable stepping stone to the employment opportunities of foreign companies.

I don't think you should be awakened by a bowl of chicken soup to learn ACCA. ACCA is not a guarantee for your promotion. Everyone should realize that ability is the most important thing. A certificate can't guarantee you to enter the top four. As far as I know, EY, KPMG and Deloitte will not give ACCA a salary increase of several thousand yuan, except PricewaterhouseCoopers. In fact, I don't think what certificate is important, what matters is personal ability. Can a truly capable person fail CICPA or ACCA?

I couldn't agree more! ! ! After all the courses in my junior year, I am not the kind of smart girl paper. Almost every May Day, National Day, Dragon Boat Festival, and even winter and summer vacations, I accompany the textbook topics in the empty study room. The output is not necessarily material, and I also feel the beauty of life. I even think washing clothes is a kind of relaxation after enrichment. Looking at the colorful water, remembering the story behind each dress, sitting in the study room for a day and running around the playground, and so on, are all gifts from ACCA.

The day of the exam is coming. Looking back on that month or two, I got up before dawn and went back to sleep with my roommate at night. This is very fulfilling. If you can get 60, 70 or higher in most courses of ACCA, you will gain a lot. Perhaps the most important thing is the learning method. Whatever you learn can be applied.

As a subsidiary of ACCA, I would like to add that for college students, ACCA can provide you with many internship opportunities, which is where I personally thank ACCA most. ACCA's employability competition, internship birthday every semester, will have many ACCA-recognized employers, the world's top 500, well-known domestic enterprises, providing many very good job and internship opportunities. I personally got a very good internship opportunity in a top 500 company because of ACCA's recommendation, and finally got the offer. I hope it helps.

During the interview, I personally feel that ACCA is still very convincing, and it is a very big plus item, which will make the employer feel that your financial theory background is very strong. When I was looking for a job, I was never rejected at the interview stage. Almost every interviewer mentioned that I was satisfied with my financial background. I think I still have to thank the general practitioner for passing the ACCA.

First of all, I suggest understanding the four majors first. You said you like finance, but it's actually very broad. Why do you want to enter the top four? What do the Big Four do?

Then, it can be said that if there is CPA, it is very weighty to enter the four major domestic companies. But don't say that you can't take the exam if you are an undergraduate. If your professional background is not accounting or even business, CPA is unrealistic for you, at least for you now. It is suggested that if you want to go step by step, you can learn business knowledge first, and you can take a look at microeconomics and management. Self-study accounting qualifications and acquire the most basic accounting knowledge. You will graduate in two years, and even the junior accountant can take the exam. Although it is very different from CPA, at least you can get some accounting thinking methods while you have the certificate, and then you can take CPA exam.

Finally, ACCA. To tell the truth, if your family conditions are good, I highly recommend you to study. The nine courses before ACCA cover accounting, management, law and corporate finance. After taking the exam, you can have a solid and international financial knowledge framework. This is definitely different for CPA. Certified public accountants are too detailed, so the scope of employment is too narrow, which is a simple accountant certificate. ACCA's employment scope is much wider. Many people have to use various reasons to demonstrate how unpopular ACCA is in Britain. In fact, I personally feel that it has a tendency to catch up. And as a freshman, ACCA will really be an exam for you to enrich your campus life.

1. First of all, ACCA and CPA do not conflict. Take ACCA at school and CPA at graduation. I don't think it's reliable to review CPA for four years at school and take six exams at a time after graduation.

2.ACCA is different from ACA and CA, but basically at the same level, and there is a high degree of exemption and even mutual recognition between them.

3.ACCA passed the test that P7 has the right to sign audit reports in Commonwealth countries, but in China? That's definitely not true. Only CPA has it, but the corresponding AICPA ICAEW CA doesn't.

4.ACCA CPA and other certificates can get a Q PAY of 1500~2500 in the Big Four. If there are several certificates of this level, q pay will be very sour.

5.ACCA is simpler than CPA, but it doesn't mean that ACCA is easy to test, and it usually takes 2 to 3 years (depending on the degree of exemption).

6. Nine courses of ACCA (basic stage) are exempted from CPA. ACCA can't be exempted from CPA and ACA can't be exempted from CPA.

7. Learning ACCA will greatly improve the level of financial English. 8.ACCA's help in entering the Big Four is not as good as expected. Those who want to get into the top four by ACCA can save it. Don't think that with ACCA, 65,438+000% will enter the big four/eight headquarters. Help is limited. However, in the recruitment of the eight major domestic companies, it is clearly stated that ACCA CPA has priority in several exams. Pay attention to the words, only priority.

9. It is said that ACCA belongs to the IQ arrears that Britain will follow, so I won't go into details here.

10. It is difficult for students with financial background to find a certificate with higher gold content than ACCA. Of course, the CICPA needs to enter the exam last semester. AICPA, if you don't mind flying to the United States once a year, ACA has more restrictions on entry, unless you pass some orientation classes set up by universities. CFA seems to be a junior, so you can take the first grade.

1 1. Don't think that a CPA or ACCA can solve all the problems. Certified public accountants have almost become a stepping stone in China, and going to the Big Four and investment banks is almost a necessary skill. ACCA is high in gold content, difficult to test, foreign style and biased towards auditing. You can add a lot of points when you take the exam, and you won't hit a wall if you don't take the exam.

After CPA passes, ACCA only needs to take nine exams. But students of certified public accountants can't take the exam.

I think there are many possibilities for employment in the future. Now is the stage of knowledge reserve, so you can learn various majors of finance and economics and lay a good foundation. After all, CPA and ACCA are not good exams. At the same time, it also prepares for postgraduate entrance examination and going abroad. Every road is open.

Also, the Big Four are actually ... myths that are easy for students. As long as you enter the top four, a bachelor's degree is enough. If you enter the securities fund and other industries, you must have a master's degree or above or even a master's degree from an excellent university.

Clarify identity: Answer the first-year graduate students, who have passed ACCA in the undergraduate stage, and passed the accounting and financial management examination for the first time after graduation. Interest: ACCA member, now working in the finance department of a listed company in both places.

Personally, no matter CPA or ACCA (in fact, I can't say clearly). As far as the school is concerned, it is more appropriate to take the ACCA exam, because you can increase your chips when you are employed. Someone said earlier that due to strict restrictions, you can't finish the exam before CPA graduates.

Let's talk about the value of ACCA first. Since I began to take this certificate n years ago, I have seen the debate about who is good and who is bad between ACCA and CPA in various forums. Later, I was too lazy to watch it. I just talked about my experience after taking ACCA from the perspective of a professional, for the reference of friends who study. I will talk about it from two aspects:

First, the recognition of the workplace.

Let's talk about why I took this certificate first. N years ago, when I first joined the work, the company encouraged everyone to apply for ACCA, because we are listed at home and abroad and need to disclose financial reports in accordance with IFRS. The training courses funded by the company are reimbursed by the annual review fee 100%. Very encouraged from the company and department level, if the company's financial system is passed, it should be praised by electricity. From my feeling, there are many people in the company who know the China Standards (even if you are not a certified public accountant), but only after passing the ACCA will everyone think that you know international standards, and you will be considered a better person. Therefore, in terms of internal promotion, having ACCA certificate has great advantages. Of course, this may be related to our preferences, but other companies may not. I just want to tell the landlord that it doesn't matter if you look at the specific working environment in front of laymen, except that people think you have a professional qualification certificate. But in your work environment, the scarcity of value is more popular. Similarly, because CPA has the right to sign in the firm, I guess CPA is more valued (I have never been in the firm, just guessing). Second, about the knowledge system.

ACCA has a good knowledge system and focuses on cultivating financial management talents. CPA has also read the teaching materials, and feels that it is important to train professional and technical personnel. It doesn't matter which direction you want to go. As for the landlord, because I am a non-financial major (I am not a financial major either), from my personal examination experience, the process of taking the ACCA exam is a process of systematically learning the financial and management knowledge framework, which has gained a lot.

Third, about the accumulation of contacts.

Why am I bringing this up? Because I participated in many activities organized by associations after taking the ACCA exam, and I feel that the gains are greater than the certificate. ACCA has representative offices in Beishangguang and has weekly activities in Beijing, such as badminton, expert financial lectures, outdoor activities, even organizing a dinner for members who celebrate their birthdays that month, and even giving small gifts. . . . In this process, you can meet many senior people in the industry. Because you are a member of the association, there is no conflict of interest, and your level is generally ok. Last month, the Association organized a birthday party with four members at one table, a director of a foreign bank, a director of a supervisory committee and a chief financial officer of a state-owned enterprise. We communicate well and feel good. As I am not a member of CPA, I don't know what activities CPA has and I have no right to speak.

In short, regardless of the argument, if the landlord is not short of money, it is recommended to take the ACCA first. If the CPA needs to be taken again in the future career development, the art will not be overwhelmed.

Finally, in a responsible attitude, I can tell you: I will take the ACCA first during my school days and then take the CPA after graduation. If you take both exams, you can "say" days. If you want to develop in the accounting industry, try to take the exam. If you get ACCA when you graduate, it proves your ability. If you apply for the Big Four, your chances will be much more than the average person. Then, during the "Big Four" internship, it goes without saying that you will take CPA. Generally, people who have exercised will have a much deeper understanding than novices and pass CPA more easily.
