Comment on MBA vs. CA — which is better? by Darshan

Darshan — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 14:58:31 +0000

I loved the comments quite a bit. I firmly believe that CA is better than MBA. For one thing I don’t see any unemployed CA’s but you do see quite a few unemployed MBA’s. I am neither an MBA nor a CA but I came onto the blog to make a decision as to what I should do and I am definitely leaning towards CA. One thing is for certain don’t waste your time doing CMA, I just recently completed my CMA. I did my CMA right after my undergraduate i figure having a CMA would boost my job opportunities but having the designation without any accouning experience is good as having no designation. Btw does anyone k ow how to go about doing a CA after completing CMA.

Comment on Thoughts on the proposed accounting profession merger by BTech2009

The current CPA program diagram incorporates PA1 and PA2 from the CGA and the Board Report and perhaps the underrated Case Exam from the CMA, while having a more flexible final exam at the end.

I think the real beef that UFE proponents have with regards to CGA’s exams, despite having way more technical problem solving and short case questions, is that, even with the AP1 exam in Ontario for public accounting, there’s no equivalent to the “comprehensive.”

Comment on AICPA, CIMA stakes claim to a global management accounting certification by BT2009

Nah, The Two Towers would have been a better reference. Your pro-merger leadership also mentioned the ACCA, and they’ve got bigger numbers than three CP Rail accountants who paved the way long ago to form a national designation of which this blog reader is but a recent graduate. One of either ACCA and CGMA can be Isengard, and the other Mordor.

@nishant, i know im a lil late, but i swear, CA is a better option. please dont waste your time in any graduation courses.
lets take a neutral look at things, from a student perspective.
CA —>
12th, cpt — 17/18years of age
CA-ipcc — 18/19
CA-final — 21/22
so, ul be a CA by the time you are 21/22
keeping in mind, you’re not good at math, ok, lets consider you’re not very good at ANY of the subjects, you still have an ASSET. you’re young. you have all the time on earth to learn! bachelors and CA together \m/
and btw, you can easily do MBA once you’re done with CA
not that u’l lose much. ryt?

I couldn’t tell if the above comment was spam or not, but if it is spam, *slow clap*.

Hi,

I am on your web blog , partially as I’m attracted in your theme apparently but too since My group is in the course of figuring out English as a 4th tongue and was recommanded during my lesson to visit boards and web sites in order to carry out writing full and “good” phrases .

I must declare that at first, choosing your web page was quite a chance occurence , simply as I was intrigued by your heading but I am writing you for the reason that you truly mutually stimulated plus puzzled me…

Please do not be bothered by this since I actually do not propose to be provocative in any way nonetheless I diverge with your fifth claim (3rd section) and actually, as far as I work out your wording, you do as well two lines under!

I desire that you are not heated with me as I truly feel ALL the rest of your content is marvelous! You sincerely are a talented writer.

You could have covered this in a different place nonetheless I am interested as to in what manner you came to be such a guru? I would appreciate to read on how one results in being a thriving connoisseur and a flourishing writer : what tribulations did you partake of in the beginning? In which way did you solve them? What was your peak article ? What are-you as a rule happy with ?

I have bookmarked your page and will come back shortly to check what new matter you wrote .

Min.

PS would it bother you if I linked to your internet blog from my own as we reveal alike views in dissimilar languages (mine is in Russian ).

Comment on Slow down for better ethics by Laura Berthiaume

I agree wholeheartedly. I guess the main problem with this is people don’t like to believe they’ll make mistakes. I’ve read many times (definitely once in the book Influence) that doctors are extremely resistant to the checklist. They take it as in insult to have their work checked over. It’s such a shame since such a simple change could have a major impact on healthcare treatment.

Yeah, we used to be called Risk & Control Services before my time here. Which is different, but even narrower I’d say!
