    I sat the ICAI fae exams in may, and was unsuccessful.
    I am considering doing them again in December however they require a letter for the concessionary attempt which is at there discretion.

    I flew pass the Prof 2 and Prof 3, its just I come up a bit too short in these.

    However I am in two minds whether to disclose to the ICAI the reasons for not getting them.

    I really dont want to sit all of the 4 subjects again, Hopefully they will allow just doing two. As I have the hardest one auditing in the bag.

    Or should I transfer to the ACCA and pick the subjects off 2 at xmas and 3 in June 2010 and be ACCA member rather than ICAI.

    any feedback would be appreciated!

    I say this as an ACCA member...

    Even though you'd probably prefer to eat the books rather than study them you'd be better off sticking with your current body. The ACCA exams wont be any easier.

    However, if for some reason, in their infinite wisdom, the CAI don't allow you to sit your exams then absolutely switch over to ACCA. The exams may not be easier, but you'd have ten years to pass them! ;)

    As a FCA, I also say:

    I fully agree with this post, these are both top line accounting bodies and they don't give out memberships lightly, so if you are failing one I doubt you'll find the other any easier.

    Good luck with your studies,

    Jim
