Good evening, I am currently in full time employment working as a financial analyst. I am considering starting the ACA alongside work (I know it's tough to do both). My question is, how much of the ACA (CAP1 > finish) is calculations/maths based and how much is accounting standards/regulations i.e. theory?

Are corporate finance subjects covered? Time value of money?

Basically, what I am trying to say is, how maths-y is it? To be clear, I'd prefer for it to contain more maths/calculations than theory (although I don't think this is the case).

Let me know what your experience is please. I'm still in the early stages of researching it.

Thanks

I would say, when you get to FAE level, its barely 20% Maths.
Prob a higher proportion of maths in CAP 1 & CAP 2 but there are no marks for doing "good maths" in FAE level.
