hi
please give me some advice which one is too choose, so that in future I don’t regret from my bad decision.
I want to Practice in Future After getting PER
I got Exemptions on the basis of qualification which is 5 year old. As per the latest Amendment on Acca website Now I will not be eligible for Practicing in UK & Ireland , they said that i need to forfeit my previous exemptions, but i don’t Wanna give that Exams 🙂SO my question is if i choose International than will i be still eligible to Work in UK too ?
because I want to move there .July 9, 2019 at 1:52 pm #522291You need to be clear on whether you want to ‘practice’ in the UK or whether you want to ‘work’ in the UK, as there’s a big difference in the 2 terms.
If you are ‘practicing’ you are providing accountancy services directly to clients (usually small businesses) or auditing accounts (again usually small businesses only). To practice, you need a practicing certificate which requires you to take certain variants of the exams and jump through a few extra hoops.
You can do the above things working for a firm where someone else holds a practicing certificate without holding one yourself. Or you can work in industry where you will never need a practicing certificate, like myself.
In reality most accountants don’t need a practicing certificate so don’t bother applying for one and don’t worry about whether they qualify for one. So what kind of work do you want to do exactly?
By the way, the international/UK distinction is by exam, not the entire qualification.

If I opt for international exam that i won’t be able to Practice in UK but eligible for Practice in other countries am i right ? - AuthorPosts
