Thanks 88sins, *$kїđž!, and all the other responders. 88sins is right about the phone conversation not being a good indicator but I think some people on this thread recommended PASS as well. Wrt Accountants not making money locally, I think she was/is planning to migrate after completing the courses so I'm guessing that should improve her prospects.

If she is planning to migrate, ACCA is not the way to go CPA (US) then ACCA if she wishes to go UK/Europe

ACCA is not recognized in the US

Correct but there is an exam you can write in Canada and become a CPA.

ACCA is not recognized in the US

or Canada


& if the prospective student prefers to migrate to Europe or the UK, better to do CIMA or CMA than ACCA
All those are accepted in those regions, but CIMA & CMA are regarded higher than ACCA. But then again, CIMA & CMA harder than ACCA.

I think Dave is right. We have family in Canada so that's where she's headed. I did some further research on ACCA and converting if necessary in Canada and there seem to be some hoops for her to jump through but ACCA is generally accepted in Canada.

So in terms of final cost, PASS ($41.8k) is about $1,000 cheaper than SBCS ($42.9k) I couldn't accurately check the total cost in SAC because they didn't send her the cost for their books but if books are priced around the same, they'll cost about $44k. Does SBCS get the vote?
