Junaid, I cant agree with you on this statement. it seems that you have little knowledge on MBA and ACCA. Please don't comment unless you are sure.
You cant use superior or upgrade or downgrade or any words like this when comparing ACCA to MBA. it was a REAL STUPID COMMENT
in short, MBA is specifically designed to introduce students to the various areas of business such as accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, operations management, etc. its purpose to prepare personnel for managerial level posts which require precise knowledge of different aspects of business.
on the other hand, The ACCA Qualification develops accounting knowledge and skills as well as professional values. It has strong focus on professional values, ethics and governance. its sole purpose to develop one's professionalism and ethics in accounting which will lead him/ her to be a finance professional in any sector. now he he can be an Auditor or analyst etc as you said.
i could not comment without personally hitting you because it's really unfortunate that you are an ACCA student and yet you dont know what is ACCA. Pls if you have any confusion contact ACCA local office or email to ACCA,,but gather more knowledge before commenting like that.
Good Sir, ACCA indeed promotes Professional Ethics and standards, they actually have a whole damn paper for it (P1).
And no, it doesn't lead you to onlt 'finance sector'.
Good sir. My brother, is an ACCA affiliate, an MBA holder and a CFA holder.
'precise knowledge of different aspects of business. '
You said it yourself. It is sort of a specialistaion in a field.
Keeping that in mind. Promoting ethics does not superceed MBA? Why do you think you can claim an exemption in MBA after ACCA? That's because ACCA is a more vast, general sort of certification. Everything is taught here. Management Accounting, Audit, Taxation, Financial Accounting, Financial Management and as you pointed out Ethics and Values of an Accountant.
Whereas MBA can actually be done in MBA Finance let's say, that's a more specific field. You don't expect to find audit or taxation there. It is and will be limited to Finance (Investment Appraisal, Project Evaluation, Risk Management, both Foreign and Domestic)
I know this, too, cuz my brother did MBA Finance and i read his books for fun. Now if i am studying a specific field, how then do i convince a person to allow me to study a certification which is a general certification?
It's a tough sell in my opinion, but worth trying.
And frankly, i don't think this 'hitting' business is of any use. It can be a discussion. If i am wrong, you can correct me, and i can do the same if you are wrong.
'Please don't comment unless you are sure.'
I am sure of what i know, hell i have it running in my family.
So please, wherevr your from, Pakistan i am assuming, things work wayyy differently there. Hell HEC gave ACCA the level of Masters over there so it's all fun and games for them.
And i won't call ur comment stupid because i enjoy discussion. I don't call it 'hitting'
