The reason why I chose the ACA is because of its international recognition, wide scope and strong career prospects.
The qualification equips you with a sound technical knowledge in various fields such as Accountancy, Finance, Tax, Law, Ethics and Business Management which are transferrable from industry to industry thus providing a strong footing in the business world.
I am currently an independent student and thus, a major part of my time goes into preparing for the exams and planning my studies on a regular basis.
The highlight of my career to date has been The Watts Prize from ICAEW which I received for scoring top marks globally in the Audit and Assurance paper.
