My Dear Friends.
My name is Mow and I am a student reading BA accounting and finance at West London University. I am going to start in this September my final semester of the course which I will graduate in December 2013.
I really need some advice regarding ACCA. I have the following questions for you.
First, it is good to start ACCA immediately after finishing university? Money is not a problem as I have saved my student finance and still live with my family. I am worrying if this is the case, and immediately start the Five professional papers as I will be receiving exemptions from F1 to F9, whether I will become “over qualify” for most accountancy jobs and remain unemployed for a long period of time.
My second question is : which one is best respected in the accountancy market, ACCA or Masters ?. I do not want to become an academic. my aim is to start working. one of my friends works in Ernst & Young he told me that in their job interviews they prefer students who have already finished their ACCA papers. they usually pay their staff to complete their ACCA papers within three years, and this requires huge amount of resources. thus having 2:1 degree with the ACCA, he told to be that I will be employed for sure. but I am not sure whether this is true and still worry Over qualify thing.final question is I have been told that the professional papers have to be sat and passed in one go, is this true?
my final question is I have been told that the professional papers have to be sat and passed in one go, is this true?
Answering those questions will really help me to decide which path to take.
MANY THANKS
Mow

You can pass your exams during 10 (!) years after initial registration, so you don’t need to hurry and to pass all papers at one sit. Moreover, you can pass only 4 papers at one session.
You can find a job and start passing your professional ACCA papers – one-two papers per session. It won’t be so much time-consumed for studying, and you also can work the same time. And also it will help let you to choose optional papers better when you work.
