After AAT

[Lena]

After AAT, I don't know what I should do. CIMA, ACCA,...? I still don't know. What I know I did enjoyed studying unit 5 (Financial Records and Accounts) and unit 11 (Drafting Financial Statement) very much. Could anyone give me some advise please? Thank you.

It seems as though you enjoy the financial aspects and ACCA is related more to this field of accountancy. CIMA is geared more towards management accounting. I suppose it depends upon whether you want to specialise as well. Most of my experience is in Financial accounting, but I have recently joined a management accounting department within my organisation, but I will study ACCA. My goal is to become an all round accountant, hence studying one side and gaining experience in the other. Hope this helps...

Lena,<BR><BR>This may be a stupid question, but have you contacted the various institutions? <BR>It may be a good idea if you look at their websites and compare the various syllabuses, career guidance, student support services before making any decision. It does sound as if you are leaning more towards ICAEW, ACCA, ACA than CIMA. What ever your decision is make sure that it is primarily based on your future career.
