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.
