Between getting Masters degree in Accountancy and ACCA (professional Exam). Which one is better and why?
Is it possible to do the same simultaneously?You could try to do both simultaneously, but why give yourself the stress.
M.Sc. – Local and not necessarily transferrable from one jurisdiction to the next, i.e. another territory may not recognise the M.Sc. as showing accounting competence
ACCA – transferable between many jurisdictions, shows accounting competency.
Thanks for your answer. It makes lot of sense and I guess I will do both like you suggested.

ACCA is a professional qualification whereas an M.Sc. is an academic one. The purpose of a professional qualification is to equip you for the job market directly. That is why most people work while studying for their ACCA exams. The choice between the two really depends on your preference.Do you want to spend an year on education before entering the job market or do you want a job as soon as possible.
Another way of looking at this is that most people use an ACCA to advance their respective careers in the accountancy field. Whereas the M.Sc. prepares you to enter the job market.My mum suggested I study for a Masters after my BA but the cost was ridiculous.
Depends on where you plan to reach and what you plan to do in future.
Both are not comparable. ACCA is a professional qualification, while Master is an academic. The entry requirement for ACCA is High School refering to the fact that it is nearly the same level as a bachelors.
If you can affford a master, you can do both. And both are beneficial. It how you use each of them for your future goals.
