Ah ger's diary
HEY~~ ACCA frens... come and read this.. !! Lol.. (It's SOOOOO TRUE)
I've read a few comments in lowyat forum about ACCA. This is the questions from a few ppl.. and these are the answer they got ! I also found a few useful info.. lol...
p/s: Those comments are from others... the "I" is not ME! lol...
_____________________________________________
(1) Why you study ACCA? Go for other uni and get degree better....
Don't worry i have tired explaining to everyone what is ACCA, tell them this "wait until i work fist & then look at my remuneration & then start to comment" (sweat...)
(2) Where do you study ?
How to explain 3 different centre, you tell me lo !!! (This guy is taking 3 papers in 3 diff places now.. lol….luckily i still can say i'm Sunway student.. haha..)
(3)What the hell is ACCA ?
I really fed up explaining like (explaining what auditor does = its to issue opinion .... but just say check then baru they understand)
To those who purposely want to "belittle" you : if you don't know check wikipedia or better still bring all those accounting jargons : impairment test,
prudence concept, test of control)
(4) What do you work as ?
Just refer to "airasia CEO" enough.
Those who insist further, say this : any job which requires money application ($) = practically everything. (lol.. so.... *speechless*)
(5) If they think ACCA is not prestigious enough ?
My senior has this very FUNNY approach : 21 graduate becomes auditor, 24 experience becomes accountant, 28 competent becomes manager, 32 callibre becomes director, 36 if lucky becomes CEO by 40 become millionnaire.
Don't think is the the actual situation, just joke to those who don't know they will go from O.O to 'jealous' or 'sceptical'
When they start to argue or counter (they will surely survey around or research) you already achieve your goal !!! ( I love this !! haha~~)
(6) Why ur ACCA marks only get 60? while ur brother get 92 for a paper in a normal degree ?
Just show this:
DEGREE >>>> RM150000 = 92MARKS
ACCA >>>>>> RM20000 = 60 MARKS
(Hahahhaa.... quote of the day !!! i super duper love this !!!)
(7) I have overcome some annoying enquiries from others, especially those aunties.. Sometimes I really tired in explain to them what is ACCA all about, on the other hand, I don't want to offence anyone, so keep silent all the time. Who really knows the efforts we have put into each of the ACCA papers??! Suppose majority will only be the ACCA students themselves. (ARHHHH~~~ what's wat i always want to say !!)
(8) (Below are some information about those prof cert. course.. and some REAL situations i'm facing now... no 'fixed' frens, hav to be ah so....)
In england there are 3 most prestigious & recognised proffesional qualification : ICAEW, CIMA & ACCA.
ICAEW : you need degree as prerequisite, 2 ICAEW members recommendation, cannot study fulltime must study part time while working.
Show this to any employer in Malaysia (especially reputable companies) you will be hired on the spot (i am not bragging there).
CIMA : its more management accounting (mostly for manufacturing firms), it is deemed harder than ACCA since most ACCA terminologies
derived from CIMA. However most company still prefer ACCA "at the moment".
Taking degree first is never an issue if (you don't mind time & cost factor). Perhaps you can gain more knowledge & application skills compared
to those who don't experience this. Perhaps i should say this, ACCA life is very boring (if you always fail) & hard to make "permanent" friends.
ACCA separated into 2 terms : 1st term for those who can't wait until the result & continue regardless of their result in exam (1.5 month)
2nd term is when results are received, then you study for around 2.5 months + 0.5 months for revision then exam. Then another paper to go.
When you make friends at 1st term thinking they will continue realise in 2nd term that (you cannot make it bcos fail) or (they cannot make it bcos they fail). Then make new friends in 2nd term which you totally ignored at the 1st. That always happen to me although i have not fail any papers yet. But it is very different here where you choose papers based on lecturers not college.
You choose the best lecturer for each subject you took (remember you must be like a "ah soh" or housewive where you only pay for the best money you can get). Like buying shoes (you go for NIKE), buy shirts (jojo armani), watches (rolex)....etc. Most students will have to jump at different colleges per week.
