Some suggestions for those graduates with little or no working experience

Some fresh graduates who have little or no working experience may face a similar problem, in that they cannot get experience until they get a job, but cannot get a job as they have no experience. Fortunately, many large local and multinational companies, - most of them prestigious - have their own campus recruitments targeting fresh graduates who have no working experience. One of the problems that fresh graduates face is how to attract employers’ attention and make themselves stand out. Here follows some suggestions for becoming a successful candidate.
Firstly, candidates must try to avoid low level mistakes in their CVs. When sifting through hundreds of CVs, it’s far easier to find reasons to eliminate candidates than to grant them interviews. Spelling mistakes, lack of clarity and meaning will conspire to reward the application with instant rejection, because no employer wants to have to train someone in such fundamental skills. For those graduates whose written communication skills are weak, practicing frequently is a good way to improve the written skills.
Secondly, try to make non job-related experience count. Although fresh graduates have little or no job-related working experience, they are still likely to have much to offer employers. The secret is to think about the aptitudes required in the job and consider how well their campus and social experience might have prepared them. For example, working in teams, managing time, and dealing with difficulties are skills that can be developed in campus and social activities.
Thirdly, try to make the best use of the knowledge learned during college and ACCA studies. During the interview, an interviewer always asks some job-related technical questions, and candidates need to answer these questions by using the knowledge they have learned during their studies. Some important parts of accounting and finance knowledge should be prepared before attending any interviews, and impressive answers to the technical questions can be the key to successfully being offered the job.  
As the global economy goes into meltdown, recruiters are under intense pressure to justify any expenditure related to hiring staff, and more people are coming on to the jobs market. Those who make recruitment decisions are in a strong position to raise the bar when screening candidates, so it’s important for graduates with little or no working experience to try their best to improve their employability in order to get the job offer they desire.

ACCA FUTURE

First of all, I would like to say that I am glad to be able to share my thoughts and views about ACCA and accounting related topics, such as ACCA studying experience, career prospects of accountancy, the knowledge and ethics required for a qualified accountant and so on, with the blog readers who may come from any corner of the globe through the well structured and organized web space of ACCA Student Blogs. In my first blog, I want to talk about the reasons for my choosing of ACCA. Firstly, a widely recognized accounting qualification has a direct bearing on future job prospects. ACCA is a reliable and innovative professional body that has an excellent worldwide reputation, which continues to grow as its qualifications attract an increasing number of new students each year. Its working with many accountancy organizations at international, regional and local level makes ACCA the best-known international accountancy body among employers, which might give the ACCA members and students an advantage over other job seekers. Secondly, with the rapid development of accountancy profession, we need much deeper and wider knowledge of accounting and finance than before in order to start a career. ACCA would help me become knowledgeable in a wide variety of areas including accounting, tax, financial management, risk management and corporate governance. In addition, ACCA produces professional accountants whose skills and knowledge are required by employers, with potential to progress to obtain fulfilling careers in many roles in accounting and business. Even more important is the fact that it broadens my horizons which is crucial to future career success. The above reasons made me choose the ACCA qualification over the other professional qualifications available. In my opinion, ACCA qualification is really a sound choice for the person who decided to pursue a career in accountancy and finance, especially for the people in China because of the ever growing Chinese economy which give rise to an urgent and growing need for accountants who understand the international standards and rules.

GLOBEL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS SURVEY REPORT 2010

Compared to previous surveys, the medium-term outlook for government spending has become more conservative: expectations of fiscal expansion are becoming more moderate while predictions of fiscal tightening are becoming more extreme. Overall, in light of a weakening economic recovery, accountants are finding it increasingly likely that their governments will spend less than they ideally should over the next five years, although the share of respondents that expect a dangerous contraction in government spending (7%) is marginally lower than it was last year (8%).2 In fact, an increasing number of professionals (35%) expect that their national governments will maintain spending at the right level, up marginally from last year (Q3 2009: 31%; Q4 2009: 34%).
Of course, as Fig. 3 shows, these results are heavily influenced by developments in Europe and, to a lesser extent, the Americas. In Africa and Asia, the outlook for fiscal policy is strongly expansionary. However, although members in the Asia-Pacific region are largely confident that their governments can afford this level of spending, those in South Asia and Africa believe that fiscal policy over the next five years will be more of a balancing act. Fig 4 summarises the extent of fiscal policy challenges by region.
Because of the fiscal situation in Western Europe and elsewhere, accountants do not appear to be blaming national governments for the overall deterioration in the economic outlook. Globally, ratings of government interventions continued to improve in the latest quarter, despite a scaling back of support for businesses and investment, with the government rating index rising to its highest level yet. Although a third (33%) of respondents still rate government interventions negatively, this is an improvement from the previous quarter when 38% did so.

FREE ACCA study tip

Book value
 
In financial or accounting terms book value is the value at which an asset is shown in the balance sheet, which is generally at its historical cost less accumulated depreciation.  Book value therefore means that an asset’s value to the business is measured in terms of what it cost to acquire, i.e. its historic value, less an allowance for depreciation, rather than its current value.
 
 
Market value
 
The market value is the value or price for which a share currently trades in the marketplace, usually determined by the interaction of supply and demand for the share. Because the market value is based on the dynamics of supply and demand, which is often the result of speculative motives or sentiment, if often does not indicate the ‘true, or real’ value of the share in the company.
 
 
Intrinsic (or economic) value
                  
This value is considered to be the ‘real’ value of a share, and is equivalent to the present value of all the asset's expected future cash flows discounted at the investor’s appropriate risk-adjusted required rate of return. Intrinsic value represents an individual investor's own personal perception or interpretation of an asset's value. Intrinsic value may or may not equal market value, although in an efficient market they should be equal.
 
It is very useful to calculate the intrinsic value of a share because this would indicate whether the market price is currently under or over valued.
 
Intrinsic value can be calculated by using the famous CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) which is examined in both ACCA Paper P4 and ACCA Paper F9.
 
         
Liquidation value
                  
This is the price an individual asset would fetch if the business discontinued its operations and all its assets were sold. The liquidation value of an asset is likely to be less than its book, market or intrinsic value.

ACCA and CA


ACCA is Associate Certified Chartered Accountant. It is easier to do ACCA then CA. ACCA was basically introduced because CA exams were considered too tough. ACCA can be completed in 4 years time, (If u pass ur exams in single go) and CA depends upon 5 to 7 years.
No u can't do ACCA after O levels. U need to do A levels first.
Well there is very less scope of ACCA in pakistan but if u go abroad then there is a good market value for ACCA.

ACCA articleship

1. Ford Rhodes takes up students who have cleared upto part 2 although previously they were taking in people who had cleared upto 2.3. I think the same is the case with Taseer. Ferguson on the other hand only takes students who have attempted core and are waiting for the result.
2. The minimum time for completing acca is 2 years (not 3 pracs!). An average student should be able to complete it in 3 years or even less if he takes the initiative of taking up more papers each attempt. Most of my friends regretted taking up fewer papers in the previous attempt.
3. To my knowledge the best value of acca part one cleared is at PSO which pays a stipend of Rs 5000 if you have cleared part 1. The stipend increases by Rs 500 for each paper cleared. Moreover you get half your exam fee refunded if you clear a paper in the first attempt.
