What is ACCA?

Them: So what are you studying?
Me: I'm studying ACCA.
Them: What's That?
This video is an answer to that question. I explain what ACCA is and what has led me to study an international qualification instead of a local qualification.
We live in an age of the global economy, and what better way to learn how that economy functions than by studying a globally recognised qualification.
In South Africa ACCA is not as popular as the local body, however the qualification is just as rigorous as the local university qualifications recognised by the local body.
People often ask if ACCA members hold the same standing in South Africa as the CA (SA), I delve into that as well.
I hope you find this video helpful.

[@shabangungenzeni562]

Sifikile Tungela international Job Opportunities, how likely is one to get job, i mean most of us are still trapped within the SAICA opportunities. basically i want to know about job demand for ACCA and if i complete my Accounting degree, can i enrol for ACCA/ If m done with CTA can i enrol for ACCA.Also about sponsors for ACCA.

[@zandilek1551]

Are there any busaries or sponsorships for ACCA students in South Africa?

[@sifikiletungela3038]

It's usually ALPs that offer bursaries. On the ACCA website there's a list of ALPs in South Africa, you can get i touch with one of them and see if they are offering any at the moment.

[@girlsteachforex7476]

Hey, if you don't mind, do you need work experience to study ACCA if you are straight out of high school??

[@sifikiletungela3038]

Hi Saige you don't need work experience to study ACCA. ACCA has different entry levels so even if you're straight from high school you can study ACCA

[@tanakabuff2686]

Wait, how do I get work experience if I do not have any qualification

[@sifikiletungela3038]

Hi Tanaka I'm not sure if I understand your question, can you rephrase it maybe?

[@kerenmbuyamba993]

Are you currently working towards your per or just study? and if studying where are you studying? Hope you don't mind me asking😅

[@sifikiletungela3038]

😂😂😂 no worries all. I'm studying through learn signal and I haven't started on my PER. Balancing family, work and studies was too much for me so now I'm focusing on my studies.
