Just an Hour Ago I consult with my B.Com Sir who doing MBA Personally and recommend me or u can say Force me to Do CA only CA bcoz there is no use of ACCA when I come to CA after ACCA they didn't pass me easily in Module E & F whereas they give Priority to CA students as they are well skilled and lot more we discuss but you confusing me more recommending me CIMA well I don't have any Information of CIMA as I didn't know about it before starting this thread so let me learn it carefully then we take a wise decision

Its up to you..

If you go in CA, Then thats it.. You are bound for 5-6 years.. 5-6 years baad you will become qualified..

If you do ACCA/Cima first, Then you get Qualified in 2-3 years and then you can do CA..

I recommend to do ACCA first because kaafi logon say CA nai ho pata.. (Myself included) its very tough, I studied 2 modules and then left it. I will do CA but after ACCA.

And what do you mean didnt pass easily in E and F module? :S.. Bohat saray log ABCD de kar atay hain aur E aur F main atak jatay hain.. Like there was a teacher of ours in Tabanis when i was in CA, His name was Majid Masood i think.. he has was giving module F paper again and again and failing.. I think 4-5 times he gave but sometimes got lapse and sometimes refer.. I dont know abhi bhi qualify howa unka ya nai.. But thats the thing, Baray baray logon say E aur F nai hota which is why it will be great if you already have a qualification so agar E aur F nahi bhi howa, You can do Icaew, Cfa, Cima etc etc.. Agar direct ABCD karkay jao gay, You cant change your qualification then..

So its up to you..

Two things.

First, both are tough. CA is tougher as they have some pretty shitty passing process. Banday ki fuzool main martay hian.

Secondly, those who say ACCA is of no value should first go and meet some people who are actually working after doing ACCA. Value and pay doesnt come from qualification, it just sets a starting level ... you actual skill and how much you work (and how much sources you have too) will depend your 'value'. Look towards people in the job market etc. for advice on 'value' of things. A "Sir" who is doing MBa himself is not going to know about the job market at all ... unless he already has a masters in some other profession.

There is no such tihng as more or less skill due to qualification ... real skill in job level depends on YOU ... CA and ACCA teach you almost the same thing. There are some small differences in both courses but overall your theoritical skill set is the same. Its when you go for a JOB that your REAL SKILL develops.

I would advise to stick with ACCA ... then later on go for a secondary qualiification once you find out where you want to specialize in the job sector. CIA is a certification in Internal Audit, CIMA is concerned with Managment accounting and usually the industrial manufacturing sector give preference to it. You could go for an MBA as well ... apni choice hai ...
