    Hello

    Failed faes and moved into industry, is it difficult to switch to acca? Does the time spent training under Cai count for anything?

    Cheers

    its quite easy to switch. One would suggest you might only have the professional papers to complete, 5 exams in total.ps make sure you go to the best lecturer rather than the college.

    Are chartered accounts exams really that difficult, compared to ACCA, CPA, CIMA?

    There always seems to be people on various accounting forums all the time saying they failed and had to switch.

    I should be finished my ACCAs later this year, but I'm wondering is it worth much considering how prestigious ACA seems to be, and its incestuously close relationship with the big 4 in this county at least ;)
