Yes, you need to log in to myacca in order to pay for your school fees. Credit card or debit card maybe used. (As long as you have visa or mastercard.) Alternatively, when you received your results, there is an attached form that you can fill up to pay your exams fees. For that, you may be able to use visa, mastercard, amex, cheque/draft or postal order. That is all I know.

Hey guys.
Currently studying Accountancy in NP year 1.

I am thinking what if i am not able to get into a local uni, would it be better to go take up ACCA or taking up a degree in Australia.
My dad is thinking of sending me to australia in case i am not able to score a GPA high enough to get into NTU accountancy.
Also if i were to choose to study acc degree overseas, which are the better and more known unis for acc?

Thanks a lot guys.

Since ur aim is to get into local uni accountancy, at the first place you should have went to JC rather than going into poly to get a dip in accountancy. Its the norm for poly students to fill the accounting technician demand in the economy, naturally A level grad get priority and greater weights in intake into local uni.

Anyway my ranking for ur alternatives would be:
1) Local Uni Acocuntancy ( Due to Govt intervention, local degree are better in SG, SG recognised, Buy Singapore Goods...)
2) ACCA ( Cheap, Fast, Good, Govt and MOE recognised, Globally recognised)
3) Go Aust study Accountancy ( Oversea exposure )
4) Other Oversea Uni ( Oversea experience )
5) SIM-RMIT Accountancy ( Local campus life )

* all the above(1) to (5) should grant you free from further accounting exam after graduation - automatically relevant experience kicks into your CPA goal*

Last) Any Accounting degree be it sim-uol or mdis ( cos why waste time study PE exam/ACCA lvl 2-3 when ppl grad and start to work )

Dont be a "blind following the blind" to go sim-uol bsc acc & fin... just because your fren doing it too * They are also blind*.
1)SIM has came out with fantastic but grey marketing material for its acc/fin course...this is to entice student to join them giving false hope of "Step nearer to CPA " nonsense.
2)Still need to take PE exam/ACCA lvl 2-3 ( Where got time when u grad, only a step nearer to CPA nonsense )
3) Only exempted few papers from ACCA...(ACCA is smart enough not to grant too many)
4) Experience gain before u complete ACCA or PE Exam are not counted for CPA . Only Post completion experience are counted. Sad to say...some are stil denial, believing without checking with ICPAS.
5)sim-uol acc/fin has poor accounting skills. trust me...i seen it before. they have extremely poor FRS knowledge.

If wanna take SIM-UOL, take econs or banking, which is what uol are famous for.

if you go to australia for your acc degree, you can become a cpa by either taking icpas pe paper or enroll into cpa australia program. in this situation, there is no way you can avoid taking further exam to gain your cpa. in addition, the extreme high cost means, it will take a long time to recover your investment. imagine 100k(inclusive of living expenses in australia) + about 8k sgd for your cpa australia program. the pros is, u have better prestige compared to others from distance learning degree or in some cases maybe ACCA.

if you go for SIM-RMIT, it is the same situation albeit lower cost but the prestige is defintely the lowest. this apply to uol acc and finance too which take a very long time to gain your cpa because only working experience after icpas pe paper can be counted towards the 3 years PER. if you take ICPAS PE paper with uol acc and finance, you will need probably abt 4.5years to gain cpa spore.

if you go for ACCA, you can gain direct recognition for cpa. which means after you graduate, you can enroll to become a provisional cpa spore member and gain 3years experience there after to become a non-praciticing cpa member. the recognition should be there as i went for many interviews for accounting jobs with big organisation based on my partial acca. the con is, you may have difficulty applying for master program in the future as most local university requires a degree. the ROI is also the highest, you can be like me... save the extra cost and do a distance learning msc or bachelor in another field.

of all the natural choice is of course local uni accountancy particularly from NTU accountancy program but to get in is hell difficult.

Is UOL Accounting that bad ? is the same as RMIT Accounting ?

i was wondering that too. after reading his post, makes me wana quit uol now to go acca or icaew. but paid the sch fees for 1st year already

quit before it's too late.
You want to waste your 4.8K + 10K(ACCA)= 14.8K
or 25K for UOL?

And moreover ACCA>UOL. With ACCA you don't need degree. With UOL you need to top up to ACCA or ICPAS. so 25K++ the costs you incur to fund your studies.
If I were you, go for ICAEW, it has a big reputation.

For me, it's too late, I have already graduated from UOL. cannot switch again. If I am doing ACCA/ICAEW, it means I am repeating the stuffs I have learned. It's time consuming.

 

[friendlyguy]

Even in my opinion,RMIT is better. Why? You can get CPA OZ. CPA OZ is easier than ACCA. It's not too time consuming.

i heard after u grad from acca, u will get ur acca professional cert together with an oxford brooks uni degree. isit true? omgosh, im in a dilemna now

YES!!!
u can get the oxford brooks Uni degree after completing F1 to F9 and a research project.
If you intend to go for Level 3, you'll be able to get the professional cert after passing 5 papers if not wrong.

read recently that accountants are highly paid and sought after and this is so even during a recession

it pays to study accountancy!

In my opinion, your statement is misleading

Accountant are not really highly paid if compared to other position.
(Does 3K-5K sounds alot to you?)

Even in time of recession, our salary will eventually be reduced.
(Of course there are exception whereby your company is expanding during recession period)

If your intention is to secure a highly paid job, go to dept whereby it is consider a income generation group in the company itself.

I just don't wish ppl to follow my footstep
