I initially thought cfa harder, but not true. Just because they take cfa so say cfa hard. Kudos tp those who pass acca

1.Guys, anyone know when will the F3 result be released? I just did it and not too sure when the results will be released

2. Can anyone recommend good lecturers for ACCA F1 and 2?

Also, if I am registered to Kaplan, does it mean I can't go to SAA and learn? I am not sure how this works actually.
Lastly, would taking F1/2 be too stressful for a part timer?

hi.. i once considered taking up cima over acca. cos i wanted to do more of the management side. ended up taking acca though, for duno what exact reason also =X

would it be advisable to take up cima after completion of acca? or is acca enough?

Once you have passed ACCA, you are considered a qualified accounting professional. That also includes any role in relation to mgmt accounting.

My friend, an ACCA graduate, joined a global company as a management accountant, therefore obtaining CIMA is not necessary.

do company hire fresh graduate?

Yes, but it ultimately depends on what kind of job you are seeking as they clearly list out the basic requirements for each job.

Acca popular because they are like EPL, widely spread and easily available. Of course rather recognised by employers too (exciting for EPL).

Earlier there are some rants about locals with acca status, and I believe sometimes opportunities are restricted, leaving us with less desired jobs. I'm sure the pay and recognition will not be as good as NTU/SMU, especially in SG context.

I personally feel that the start is the hardest. If you have gained some accounting/audit experience somewhere else, you can still aim to get into big4 if you still want.

Some are talking about migrating, which I too am very keen to do so after I achieve ~5 yrs of work experience in SG.

I heard of people giving up SG citizenship altogether, some others only work as PR overseas but still SG citizen. Too bad SG don't allow dual citizenship, but I don't think it is a tough choice once you set one foot out here.

If give up citizenship, can withdraw CPF but confirm SGGov will be anal enough to delay things.

I'm wondering if working as PR overseas only (e.g. PR in Australia), CPF should be stucked in sg ba, and still got NS obligations.

Next time got more experience wannna consult a laywer. Now just wanna hear some views from fellow kakis.

Good blog read for those planning to be labelled as quitters by their own govt:

Labelling citizens who migrate as "quitters" is not recognizing a fact that not everybody is motivated for a life of hardwork by monetary or material gains. There are pple who are content to live a less stressful life with lower standards of living measured solely by the level of material comfort enjoyed. There's nothing wrong with that. People migrate because it is nit possible to achieve that in a society that has been shaped by the govt to be performance driven and unconcerned about the unquantifiable measures of living standards i.e. Time spent with family, recreation etc.

Its nearly impossible to survive on 1k unless you dont pay for housing, you don't eat out more than a meal a day, and you only have yourself to upkeep. And if you fall ill, you better pray its not a dreaded disease because you wont even be able to afford the insurance premium co-deductible.

How ???????????????

 

[maisatomai]

How ???????????????

The five children I exaggerate.. but my uncle 1k bring up two children. Also, for me, my monthly spending is very little despite having two children. Stay with parents very seldom go out take bus seldom take taxi. Of course I sometimes spend like a lv bag for my wife but if I cannot afford of course won buy.
