ACCA Qualification in Germany, Accepted?

[Korn3105]

Hello everybody,

i am interesting in ACCA qualification and concidering learning for the June 09 exams. I studied in Germany and obtained FH-Betriebswirt (similar to Bachelor of Arts (BA)). In Germany, ACCA qualification is not so accepted as the equal german "Steuerberater" or "Wirtschaftsprüfer". Many are likely to go through "Wirtschaftsprüfer"-examination. Nevertherless, I would like to get it, because of further experience and acceptance in abroad.

Otherwise, I would like to ask you, who is from Germany and has been beginning in learing or has already passed some exams? Where are the exams carried out? Is it better to learn yourself or attend some preparation courses?

Do I have a chance to be exempted from F1-F4 exams? What do I have to be aware during the application for the exemption.

I would appreciate each answer! Thank you!

hi

I think if you can prove your qualification is up to uni level, then you will prob get something. you must also note that previous study in Accounting, Finance, Business, Management or related fields will determine what, if any exemptions you will get.

I am not sure what you will get but i think there is a section on the website - Join us / Why accountancy, on the accaglobal, site which should be able to address your concerns. alternatively, if ACCA has an office near where you are, you could visit them and clear the issue, personally.

cheers and hope it works out for you.
