Hey Guys,

I just had to make a post because I was excited. I found out Friday that I passed the final exam of the CICA's 3 exam system to become a Chartered Accountant. i was 1 of 1700 people to pass it across canada. This years pass rate was 40% from the first exam to the last. My 30 months of practical experience is up on Dec. 31/05 and I will be a fully qualified CA at that day.

Any other Accountants on the Board??

I chose CA because I want to work in public accounting probably Audit; that means I will need to be qualified to sign off on Financial Statements. Only CA's are legally allowed to sign off on F/S so that made up my mind.

Also statistically CA's make more money and wind up with higher positions than CGA's.

Congrats man!

At least one CMA is out there! Got mine in 02'.

Congrats.

Juergen: Congrats old man..(old? who am I kidding?) I never doubted that you would ace it having met you only once last summer. :ylsuper:

Now, are you and your gf going to start up an RX8 branded beefjerky franchise?

Best,

Congratulations! I use to work for KPMG and it's a party week when CAs pass their UFE. Obviously I'm not a CA as my ID indicates.
As for why you'd become a CA vs CGA I think it also has to do with if you would rather work with and get to know one company at a time vs having to work with a bunch and trying to be an expert on all. As long as a CA remains with a firm, to move up, there is always pressure to bring in clients and make partner. If it's for you, go for it, if not CGA or CMA is a good alternative.

I am considering an RX8 only speeding ticket fighter company. Or maybe a JDM parts/accounting outfit. LOL
