ACCA Students.

There is no links. This is the replies based on what my ex-firm and I queried.

the new SQP programs starts June 2012 and it allows for transition until Dec 2016 for ACCA students.

What this essentially means is that you need to fulfill all existing CPA SG requirements i.e. ACCA + 3 years of relevant experience + passing the 5 days course

As such, u will need to complete ACCA latest by Jun 2016 (in that case i think it will be something like 5 years of experience pre and post ACCA).

Otherwise, you will not be grandfathered into the new program. meaning...

no CPA SG / CA SG designation.......

they are trying to dissociate themselves from ACCA....

So you mean need to complete acca + 3 yr relevant work exp + 5 day course latest by dec 2016?

The transition deadline may be true, but effectively, u have to complete ACCA by Jun 2016 as you can only sign up for CPA SG after confirmation of completion. If you took Dec 2016 paper, your result will come out too late. this is what i believe.

Haix. Nvm la. I complete up to f6 liao. Quit now abit wasted. At most I take their whatever nonsense exams again lor. I dun think ACCA will be totally useless bah. Not grandfathered in but maybe got some exemptions off the sqp qualifications or what..?

how about completed ACCA, but have not yet achieved required years of experience. can sign up for CPA Sg? Im on the Icpas plus route.

 

[BlueGinger]

Given the scenario below, can someone please advise if I can still make it in time for the designation of CPA Singapore?

Final ACCA Exam: Dec 2013
Result release: Feb 2014
Start of 3-year post qualification experience: Feb 2014? Or when?
Duration of post qualification experience: Feb 2014 - Jan2017?

A little demoralizing. Maybe I should go for CPA Australia?

By the way, ACCA is proud to have been appointed by the Singapore Accountancy Commission (SAC) to be a consultant in the development of the Singapore QP. The Singapore QP website mentions that the new qualification has been put together “with the intention of fostering global recognition and international portability. Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRAs) with leading global professional accountancy bodies are being explored currently”.


I am sure more information will be made available in the upcoming months. Do be assured in the meantime that ACCA has a heritage of more than 100 years and has a solid track record in preparing and governing professionals for rewarding careers in accounting and finance.

The Head of Learning of ACCA Singapore highlighted this to me when I questioned him how I can get my CA.

swee oh. hope he push it through and let ACCA be part of the program. if not die alr - - zz.

As of right now, ACCA is not a degree so naturally dun qualify for entry requirement and OBU is not recognised by SQP too so also cannot sign up for CA....

From what i just enquire from ICPAS, the ICPAS Route recognises acca due to the MRA which is renewed every 3 years. As long we meet the requisites, we can become a CPA.

 

[godbowen]

S'pore QP allows you to become C.A of S'pore, can someone tell me is that a different recognition in respect to CPA?

The new CPA requirement for acca grads makes it really difficult for more acca students

Does it mean that acca is going to be even less recognised?
I guess less people will choose acca in future?

aCCA will be less recognise in sg perhaps becos any degree holders from any disipline will just go to QP programme directly to become CA in singapore. Less degree holders or ppl will sign up for ACCA as it is no longer direct route to CPA in Singapore. Other than that, ACCA is still recognisable internationally.

Right now, what some of forumer said here are refering to ACCA- ICPAS plus route members, who are still open to become CPA in sg by 2016. However, condition could be u must complete ACCA before 2016 June and complete the relevant 3 yrs experience (2yr post and 1 yr pre exp?) + one week course. Or else will have to take QP.

For ACCA direct route member, you will not be able to take QP yet until mutual agreement is settled officially. Meanwhile, you are not eligible to join QP.
