CFA General
#1

Hi everyone!

Just a brief intro, I am ACCA memeber, CPA,UAECA,PIPFA and M.com equivalency.

Having more than 5 years of professional experience and now working in Abu Dhabi UAE as a Finace Executive where I execute financial data from posting to preparing financial statements monthly baisis and budgeting.

Further I anayse new projects based on thier financial impacts on companny.

so purely, I have acounting background and now days looking for finance manager or more sr accountant positions.

I have passion to study CFA interest on equity and debts dealing but more I need to decide either I go for it or better for Chartered Accountancy.

I know this kind of questions have been part on this forum but actually I am confused what to opt then progress.

kindly provide some adviseable thoughts…

Best regards

I sounds as though you have a very good background for the CFA exams. Further, the CFA curriculum seems applicable to your daily work.

Tally ho!

I can’t believe adding another accounting credential will help your career path. CFA certainly might.

What is a PIPFA and M.com?

#5

M.Com is probably Master of Commerce, which is roughly the equivalent of our Master of Business Admnistration.

#6

Pakistan Institute of Public Finance Accountants (PIPFA)

it is local finance certification and M.com is masters.

i discussed with one chartered accountant he advised if you are not going for equity and debt market then no need to do CFA but in fact there are may ACCA candidates who are pursuing CFA and working in different sectors not only limited to analyst.

Does CFA help to finance managers or CFO of companies or only limited to analsyt industry.
