    Assalamu alaikkum, Currently Im pursuing CMA (india)and moving to Final Level...But i worry about may i deal with Interest when i Joined in a company, my aim is to become a Finance Manager/CFO In sha allah But I Losing my confidence when i search about their roles, because they also deal with Loans/Interest, ie. By way of Raising fund/Depositing in Bank..its also their primary function.. At the time of my education i thought that we can skip the area of Interests/Riba while working, but Im not sure that it may done practically or not, because of the companies requirement. Please guide..Do i quit? I did'nt even pursue a Bachelors degree till now..and only focused to CMA...😪😶 Please guide...

    Wa alaykum as Salam you need to speak to an Islamic scholar around these matters. The concern I have for you is you may record the interest on these loans and funds may be raised from haram sources which you have to do the accounting for. You should check this point specifically with a person of knowledge

    Brother I am a 12th grade student and within few month I will to choose a subject in university. I am thinking of ACCA and economics and it's actually hard for me to choose one of them as I don't have experience in any field. As yourself a qualified chartered accountant and have worked with different businesses,what advice would you give me-should I go for economics or chartered accountant? I know you will have biases towards ACCA/ACA but still,do you think Economics will be a better option for any student like me who is also concerned about halal income? Which option apparently gives me more halal and stable future and high earning potential? Tnx😊

    This depends on what you want to do - do you want to go into accounting or economics - remember you can study the ACA - ACCA qualification with any degree so if you want to do economics try it then that’s fine - if you don’t like it you can still go on and become a chartered accountant after studying economics at university

    If you're entitled to exemptions then you could apply for these then once confirmed sit your final 2 papers. Whether you do it in the UK or not depends on your visa circumstances. I've not come across many universities who provide education, BPP is a private university which offer tuition. Kaplan is another popular tutor.

    You don't need to do the ACCA if you want to come to the UK and pursue the ICAEW - the main thing you should be looking into is if you want to work in the UK will you have the right to work - then you can secure a training contract and study for the ICAEW via an employer.

    Brother, there is a serious question that I wanna ask. I am in my last year of uni doing accounting and finance, however, I cannot decide if I should do ACA or ACCA after my bachelor. After finishing my bachelor, I will receive 6 exemptions for ACA and 9 for ACCA. I know that in the UK ICAEW(ACA) is more common and that's what I want to do, because I think is gonna be a little bit easier then ACCA. So what do you think, I should do? Do ACA OR ACCA??

  • @FehzanMehdi

    Both are respected qualifications when employers recruit they will tend to say ACA / ACCA or equivalent instead of specifying one they prefer. You’re right ACA is more popular in the U.K. especially amongst the bigger firms but equally ACCA is more internationally recognised. Ps when I’ve spoken to people they’ve said ACA appears to be more harder than ACCA so wouldn’t say it’s easier.
