dewi Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Accounting bodies have similar criteria for positive skill assessment. So I don't think there is any use to try on other assessing bodies. The suggested way is just take the one subject of accounting theory. The cpa website has the information on how to enrol.

benthomas010 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Under Accountant General, I have a Bachelor degree in commerce and I have passed alll exams. But no professional accounting qualifications right? Such as CIMA / ACCA / ICAEW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benthomas010 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 No. only a diploma in IFR from the ACCA. You probably have no choice but to sit some extra exams then.. The y should be able to advise you how and when to do this, give them a cCall - I believe their have offices in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiny76 Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Wouldn't it be better to go for ICCA for a new assessment? I think CPAA will drop all my past experience when I take thier exam and make a new assessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss81 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 you may either apply to ICAA or apply as a Finance Manager if only Accounting theory is missing... Finance Manager does not require Accounting Theory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamffc Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 The exact same thing happened to me, except I applied through ICAA. I have not yet finished my ACCA qualification but have an Accounting degree which was the basis for my application which was also rejected for not meeting Accounting Theory. It seemed ridiculous that they could credit me with the rest of the knowledge areas when surely Accounting Theory is the most basic cornerstone that underpins everything. I appealed by obtaining a letter from a lecturer at my University on headed paper explaining which modules I had studied that would have covered this. I was very lucky that he was still working there (8 years later) and willing to help me. I remembered he often fondly refered to having worked as an Auditor in Sydney for five years which perhaps made him more keen to go out of his way to help me. Maybe he took it a bit personally too that ICAA were suggesting his course did not cover some basic elements of accounting. In the absence of having someone like this able to help, I would provide as much of your course handbooks, module guides etc as you can along with a letter stating where Accounting Theory was covered. I'm convinced they only did it to make some easy money as it made no sense and if they had some other agenda (eg restricting the number of immigrant accountants) they could have just said 'no' again.
