ADNAAN Posted November 18, 2009 What do u think about ACCA qualifications for auditors. Couldn't find a lot of info on how good they pay. I think in the states its known as certified public accountant. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rudy-Diiriye Posted November 18, 2009 cpa is a higher position than auditing in usa. auditors make less money that cpa since they havent passed the certified public accountant exam. cpa holders are the highest paid in accounting professions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khayr Posted November 18, 2009 Auditing is a tedious and tiresom job. CPA designation is rare to achieve. You have to the right will and aptitude for it. The pay with a CPA is considerably more. With a CPA, you can be the boss. Without it, you will just end up doing journals and auditing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.O.R.F Posted November 18, 2009 Adnan, if you're an accountant you should go for your accreditation/chartership. Do it from the start of your career as it is easier to start. It is difficult to do it after say 5 years as you're routine is well defined and finding the motivation may be difficult. On a separate note I find auditors are a pain in the back-side but they do make you keep your files in order Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The CPA designation has pass rates of 50% according to this. I'm familiar with CA designation in Canada and the pass rate is 60%. It is not that rare. I would advise you to get a recognized designation and then you can work anywhere in the world. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
