Life after graduation: Which accountancy qualification is right for you?
If you’re thinking about a career in accountancy there are many pathways you can choose. Most firms will put you on a training program, where you will combine studying with working, enabling you to apply what you learn to your every day. But, with so many qualifications to choose from, which is right for you?
This is a unique opportunity for you to hear from each of the awarding bodies in one place – ACA, ACCA, CTA, CPA Australia and CIMA. You will find out what each qualification entails, the key differences between them and understand which is right for you.
