Salaam Bro


Are you ACCA registered? When is the best time to register with the ACCA to claim exemptions. While doing your degree or after???

No bro i am not Acca registered. I graduated in June, started working in Sept and still negotiating with my employers to sponser me. They've made it clear that they want me to do CIMA, because there a limited company and only do internal accounting, mostly. Laakin i'm applying for a public sector graduate scheme and therefore i'll be doing the CIPHA course and to be honest this i what i prefer, as the hours are better and you actually have a life.

Internationally ACCA is most def the best... You should apply for jobs in your last year of your degree, aim for the big four, then as soon as you start with them then u should register for ACCA as part of your program.

Its kinda of useless to do ACCA, without a job, because you need relavant experience to qualify fully.

Also the later you start ACCA after your degree then the less exemptions, so the sooner the better.

what are u studying and @ what uni?
