Well articulated Ngoni. Liked the quotation, "Its not about qualifications but how you distinguish yourself from others in terms of performance."

I'm glad to see ngoni developing/detailing this subject about acca ,I met him when he was attending..it was a kind of summit about acca in kigali 2019 I think,he is really friendly a kind of goodman

It's all beautiful just make a choice and enjoy the accounting profession. I am an ACCA and I'm happy. Be ICAZ and enjoy the accounting profession, simple.

Good discussion right there. We tend to forget the main objective of these accounting bodies which all fall under IFAC; I believe that there are all there to produce a well-rounded accountant and we are consumed in-focusing on the superiority of another body and not looking at the skills set that the individual has, as Alex had pointed out. Also to note is ACCA doesn't just train people who will be executives in the industry it also caters for individuals who can become accounting clerks, tax experts, financial analyst, etc and the differentiation comes when people sign for their hours or Performance Objectives (PER's) and out the 20 PER's an individual can only pick 4 which are relevant to the experience that they would have obtained. In many countries, an individual who is an ACCA member can automatically be a CA in their local bodies we are looking at the likes of Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Canada, UAE, Hong Kong, Malaysia, etc, the list is endless (some of these bodies, their exams are regulated by ACCA)

Both ACCA and CA(Z) are Chartered accountants, and I think no-one will sway my view on this.

This battle between the 2 is all about revenue streams: if 1 becomes ACCA, ICAZ losses a lifetime revenue stream. So it's a battle for the accountant's soul (so to speak), just that the local accounting body fights it dirty by belittling the other profession, but on a global scale ACCA is highly regarded.

Thank you for engaging with us on this

The challenge is that every market has its preference, so one needs to be guided by this when choosing a qualification. To be honest, most jobs don't require degrees at all, but those with just certificates and diplomas can do the job as well. However, do what the market requires and prefers. The southern African problem is that there are no jobs to accommodate everyone, whether ACCA or CA. In countries where jobs are many, your qualification is necessary as an entry point, but there is no segregation on the basis of qualifications. Uk , Australia, etc. have accountants from all over the world getting jobs. In the USA, you need their CPA to make it there. Your ACCA or CA-Z or CA-SA may not help you. So understand your mind. Market is reality. Personally, in terms of work, I have worked with ACCA guys who are very good better than CA-Z guys. I have also worked with CA-z guys who are not up there in terms of quality work. So both qualifications are good it's depends on your experience. There are jobs that require TIPP trained CAs than TOPP trained CAs. So every job has its demands based on your experience. That having been said, southern Africa needs to be more inclusive by giving opportunities to everyone. This mentality of extending audit firms into industry is wrong. This is my position as CA.

Hello thanks for the information. I am from Uganda and at this point every accounting job requires one to have an ACCA or CPA member. My question is that if professional bodies are now required for one to be able to work, then does it mean that a bachelor's degree in accounting is useless?

@CareersWithMaud

2 жыл бұрын

hey. So happy that you are here. No, most of these qualifications require a degree for you to start on them, or will make you get a degree as you study for them. So a degree is important, we just need more than a degree nowadays.

These debates are just debates l am ACCA l do have respect for other professional institutes but l have never been limited because of ACCA . As a matter of fact l have worked in Big 4, Mid Tier Top 10 , Banking and Other industries in Zimbabwe .Please take note that as an ACCA l can also apply for registrations as a Public Auditor with PAAB which means apart from any other Biases The laws in Zimbabwe they equally respect ACCA with other local institutes on Public Accountant and Public Auditor registration. The other thing that am happy with is l have managed to get 2 qualifications a Masters and a Bachelors degree from The prestigious University of London and a Top UK modern University Oxford Brookes University through ACCA arrangements . Also these days anyone can now do CTA in one year even from any University and any program . I know some guys who had 7 points at A Level passing CTA meaning its not that difficult. Also one of my collegues working for one of the big 4s told me that someone attended CTA and ITC at CAA Academy but failing to apply IFRS 9 during audit as if they did not cover it during their courses. I used to have much respect when CTA was being done concurrently with serving articles where one will be applying the knowledge at the same time doing exams . These days you can do CTA and ITC and then find a workplace mentor to serve the 3 years experience which l feel its different from Old CAs who qualified in the 90s when the qualification was tough. During that time ACCA was also the same in terms of Exam content were for one to qualify as ACCA you would write 4 exams in one sitting. Mind you PAAB request CA(Z) to write an Audit Qualification before applying for Practicing Certificate because they nolonger specialise like they used to do when one could choose either audit or financial management at Board 2 level. For ACCA if you have done P7 you dont need to write any PAAB exam for you to get PAAB audit licence . I see Big 4s and other Mid tier now recruiting audit seniors, supervisors managers with ACCA. In conclusion , its about you not the Qualification, thats why we as accountants cant even start a business we think along the lines of IFRS

Hi Arnold. What a detailed contribution. just to also point out something 1. Just because someone who had 7 points passed CTA doesnt mean its easy - remember back then even people with 2 points at A level would also go ku uni and study accounting. I dont think that a good measure of what is hard and what is difficult. But having gone through it, i can attest to you that CTA is hard. even the pass rate will tell you that. 2. As Ngoni said, just because people passed, does not mean they will have everything on their finger tips, its not peculiar to CTA. There are exceptional people, and there are some who are not as bright waona. I know a lot of people with ACCA who also struggle to apply these principles, but the firm is a learning ground so i would expect it. That's why there are resources to help. and your conclusion - we also agree and got to the same conclusion. that the qualification is a stepping stone. So we were trying to determine which stone is more stable. Thanks for your contribution

ICAZ is promoted better locally than ACCA and a lot of i9ndustry leaders are and were ICAZ members and that alone has enough effect to favor the local qualification than the foreign and global qualification . In the global market , ACCA is regarded better than ICAZ. The uncontested truth is that the two qualifications are the same but are structured differently . Its fun how ICAZ doesn't talk about those that become CA(Z) outside the practice of Audit , seems ICAZ uses the audit experience as the joker in the game.

One of my friends and someone who l worked with who has done so well is now a seasoned CA(Z). He is one of those who is reluctant to leave the country but one day we were having a discussion about this and he said... Imagine in the UK they prefer ACCA over CA(Z), that was many years ago... l was shocked by his attitude. This shows me two things: 1. The superiority complex he has as a CA(Z). 2. The fact that despite his views of the inferiority of the ACCA others or more significant people or markets recognise the value of the ACCA. Anyway l think fundamentally it goes according to the individual. As long as he performs, irrespective of the training body it does not matter. One thing l do like about the ICAZ is that it ensures that by the time one qualifies he has relevant experience. l have been told sometimes having full subjects and no experience is actually a hindrance, just like someone who has no qualification. So the best thing is for an ACCA student to do well in his studies and maybe after a few subjects try to secure a job. If one is going to audit, l would advise after having done Audit, Tax and at least Intermediate accounting.

Hahahahahaaha. This conversation may never reach a conclusion. Lol

There is a very interesting article l saw a few years back talking about the stranglehold the SAICA body has over accounting education and the profession. The person who wrote the article was a professor of accounting and he was lamenting the fact that the CA(SA) qualification was over hyped in the SA context. Sadly l do not have it right now, should l find it l will try to send the link. The situation in SA is much, much, much worse than in Z.... At least in Z once in while there are firms which take ACCA guys, in SA it is virtually unheard of. One point he raised which was interesting was that lecturers were given a very generous stipend to teach the SAICA material. So if you are not teaching it or you speak ill of SAICA it dries up, which shows you the clout they have. Furthermore, he pointed out that unlike other countries where the ministry or some other independent body, determines the quality of universities, in SA, this is determined by SAICA. They have their own rating system and accreditation system. In other words they control who is teaching, what is taught and the students coming through, by having them take bursaries. Many a student who had initially dreamed of being a doctor or engineer, has had those plans changed by being offered a full bursary, conditional on taking up Accounting. Anyway it is very interesting so Z could be worse l guess. Australia interestingly enough, people wishing to go there, are not vetted by the Government if they are accounting professionals but by the Accounting bodies who have the final say of whether they get the visa or not. Very interesting l think.

I think with ICAZ its a bit stricter than ACCA - objectively and respectfully. Remember with ICAZ you have to pass all four at once. And with ACCA you can pace yourself. ICAZ is also stricter as to where and how you can do your articles. This also then lowers the number of CA(Z) on the market. Lower supply increases the value of the CA on the market too. These differences feed into the local perception of the qualifications. And the perception ultimately determines how much you can make from the it.
