A Road Divided | Tuesday, December 19, 2006
It is the time of my life, where i have reached a road divided into two. I m faced with two great choices in my life. ACCA in Sunway ... or ... CPA in Metropolitan?
Allow me to clarify things :
Sunway University College (UK Programme)
Route to ACCA (Association of Certified Chartered Accountants) :
CAT (Certified Accounting Technician) [1 year] - ACCA [3 years] - Min. 3 years working experience - MIA (Malaysian Institute of Accountants) member - ACCA member.
Duration :
4 years min. depending on how long u take to finish the ACCA papers (College), however upon completing ACCA Part 2 u are allowed to work while finishing ur ACCA Part 3.
Course Fee (all in all) :
RM 40,000 +/- (CAT - less than RM 10,000 / ACCA - RM 30,000)
Advantages :
Short Period (as in 4 years), Professional Status, Internship (in Big Four*), Ernst & Young Award, Good Job Security, Prestigious Study Environment, Huge Campus, Shorter Distance from House to Campus.
Disadvantages :
Hardcore Studying Effort Needed, More Homework Less Courseworks/Assignments, Exams in every 6 Months, Failure in any paper resulting in the inability to proceed further.
* Big Four - it means the top four accounting firm in malaysia. the Current top four are PriceWaterHouseCoopers, KPMG, Ernst & Young and Deloitte.
Metropolitan College (Australian Programme)
Route to CPA (Certified Practising Accountants) :
UFP (University Foundation Program)[1 year] - Curtin/RMIT Accounting Degree [3 years] - Min. 3 years working experience - CPA examination (6 papers) - MIA member - CPA member.
Duration :
4 years (College)
Course Fee (all in all) :
RM 70,000 +/- (UFP - RM 7,000 / Accounting Degree - RM 60,000)
Advantages :
Fun Approach to studies (Australian Programme, well basically it meant not-so-hardcore lol), More Courseworks/Assignments Less Homework, Professional Status, Internship (RMIT only), Prestigious College Links (Curtin & RMIT), Curtin Merit Award (AUSD 12,000), The Prefect Scholarship (20% off), NS Trainee Rebate (RM1,000), SPM Merit Award up to RM 2,500, nearby Asia Cafe (Food is secured, lol).
Disadvantages :
Longer Period to acheive Professional Status, unable to work unless completion of degree programme is acheived, Longer Distances from House to Campus.
at the moment, i cant really chose between the two. Part of me wanted to take ACCA while part of me wanted to go for CPA. argh .... advices?? Metro or Sunway????
