ACCA对于会计职业生涯有帮助吗?

发布时间:2019-07-20


ACCA是特许公认会计师,在我国也俗称为国际注册会计师,知名度仅次于CPA,以全英文考试、科目众多、难度较大、含金量高等的特点,在财会领域的地位不可撼动,目前在中国已拥有超过2万多名会员和4万多名学员,深受各位财会人的喜爱,但是关于ACCA对于财会人具体有什么帮助,小编整理了如下内容。

一、就业优势

1.工资待遇的涨幅空间大

ACCA从上世纪90年代进入中国,受到的认可度也越来越高。主要在欧美背景的外企、外资会计事务所、在海外上市的企业受到了广泛的认可。ACCA为在中国的跨国公司、大型企业和国际"五大"会计公司全面认可,年薪在30-80RMB。据统计,伦敦刚获得ACCA资格会计师预计可以得到高薪大概在平均年薪3-3.5万英镑,随着英国经济的不断景气,收入还在上升。

2.对ACCA人才潜在需求量大

ACCA岗位缺口大,ACCA人才缺口近40万,具有享誉国际,薪资待遇高,知识体系完善,科目可免考,报考门槛低,考试周期灵活等优势。根据ACCA官方调查,其会员目前在中国的年薪分布在30-200万不等。在中国超过75%ACCA会员在任职财务岗位三年内获得职位大幅提升,41%以上的ACCA会员取得财务总监及以上职位,ACCA成为财务人士职位晋升的黄金资质。

二、职业生涯帮助

1.求职

ACCA证书在HR眼里是一个黄金标签,ACCA证书是求职者对财务知识掌握的证明,也是求职者学习能力和时间管理能力的证明,这些都是工作中最重要的能力,自然也是最吸引HR的东西。

2.升职

ACCA作为一张稀有且高含金量的财会类高端证书,一直以来,都被视为财务管理层岗位招聘条件之一。特别是在外企或是涉及跨国业务的本土企业,ACCA会员掌握的国际会计准则一直是企业财务报告的刚需。在四大中,毕马威的咨询版块一直将ACCA视为升经理的qualification之一,ACCA的重要性毋庸置疑。

3.跳槽

ACCA证书是资深财务人最好的证明,一大原因在于,在拿下ACCA证书多年后可以直接变为FCCA,即资深ACCA会员。别人简历上写“5年财务管理经验”,而你,写的则是“8ACCA会员”,一下就从众多求职者中脱颖而出了。

ACCA证书在求职、升职和跳槽时均能发挥不同的价值,这也是ACCA证书倍受财务人青睐的一大原因。ACCA证书会帮助财务人在职场中走的更稳,更远。

(ii) equipment used in the manufacture of Bachas Blue; and (4 marks)

正确答案:
(ii) Equipment used in the manufacture of Bachas Blue
Tutorial note: In the context of GVF, the principal issue to be addressed is whether or not the impairment loss previously
recognised should be reversed (by considering the determination of value in use). Marks will also be awarded for
consideration of depreciation, additions etc made specific to this equipment.
■ Agree cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses at the beginning of the year to prior year working
papers (and/or last year’s published financial statements).
■ Recalculate the current year depreciation charge based on the carrying amount (as reduced by the impairment
loss).
■ Calculate the carrying amount of the equipment as at 30 September 2005 without deduction of the impairment
loss.
Tutorial note: The equipment cannot be written back up to above this amount (IAS 36 ‘Impairment of Assets’).
■ Agree management’s schedule of future cash flows estimated to be attributable to the equipment for a period of up
to five years (unless a longer period can be justified) to approved budgets and forecasts.
■ Recalculate:
– on a sample basis, the make up of the cash flows included in the forecast;
– GVF’s weighted average cost of capital.
■ Review production records and sales orders for the year, as compared with the prior period, to confirm a ‘steady
increase’.
■ Compare sales volume at 30 September 2005 with the pre-‘scare’ level to assess how much of the previously
recognised impairment loss it would be prudent to write back (if any).
■ Scrutinize sales orders in the post balance sheet event period. Sales of such produce can be very volatile and
another ‘incident’ could have sales plummeting again – in which case the impairment loss should not be reversed.

(d) Advise on any lifetime inheritance tax (IHT) planning that could be undertaken in respect of both Stuart and

Rebecca to help reduce the potential inheritance tax (IHT) liability calculated in (c) above. (7 marks)

Relevant retail price index figures are:

May 1994 144·7

April 1998 162·6

正确答案:
(d) Stuart is not making use of his nil rate band, as all assets are transferred, exempt from inheritance tax (IHT), to Rebecca (as
spouse) on death. He should consider altering his will to transfer an amount equivalent to the nil rate band to his son, Sam.
If Stuart dies before altering his will, Rebecca can elect to make a Deed of Variation in favour of Sam instead. This will have
the same effect as the above.
Care should be taken in determining which assets are subject to this legacy. The Omega plc shares should not be transferred
to Sam as they currently attract 50% BPR. Instead, assets not subject to any reliefs (such as the insurance payout or cash
deposits) should be used instead. By doing this, IHT of £105,200 (£263,000 x 40%) could be saved on the ultimate death
of Rebecca.
It is too late for Stuart to make use of potentially exempt transfers (PETs) as no relief is obtained until three years have passed,
and full relief only occurs seven years after making the gifts. The same would also apply to Rebecca if she were to die on 1
March 2008. However, as she is currently in good health, she may decide to make lifetime gifts, although she should also
not gift the Omega plc shares for the reasons stated above as any gift other than of the entire holding will result in the loss
of BPR on the remainder.
Both individuals should make use of their annual exemptions (£3,000 per person per year). The annual exemptions not used
up in the previous year can be used in this current year. This would give a saving of £2,400 each (3,000 x 2 x 40%).
Exemptions for items such as small gifts (£250 per donee per year) are also available.
Gifts out of normal income should also be considered. After making such gifts, the individual should be left with sufficient
income to maintain their usual standard of living. To obtain the exemption, it is usually necessary to demonstrate general
evidence of a prior commitment to make the gifts, or a settled pattern of expenditure.
While there are no details of income, both Stuart and Rebecca are wealthy in their own right, and are likely to earn reasonable
sums from their investments. They should therefore be able to satisfy the conditions on that basis.
If Rebecca were to make substantial lifetime gifts, the donees would be advised to consider taking out insurance policies on
Rebecca’s life to cover the potential tax liabilities that may arise on any PETs in the event of her early death.
Tutorial note: the answer has assumed that the shares could be bought for £2·10, their value for IHT.

(iii) whether you agree or not with the statement of the production director. (3 marks)

正确答案:
(iii) ‘If we implement a reward scheme then it is bound to be beneficial for BGL’.
The statement of the manufacturing director is not necessarily correct. Indeed there is much evidence to support the
proposition that the existence of performance-related reward schemes can encourage dysfunctional behaviour. This often
manifests itself in the form. of ‘budgetary slack’ which is incorporated into budgets in anticipation of subsequent cuts by
higher levels of management or to make subsequent performance look better.

3 Susan Paullaos was recently appointed as a non-executive member of the internal audit committee of Gluck and

Goodman, a public listed company producing complex engineering products. Barney Chester, the executive finance

director who chairs the committee, has always viewed the purpose of internal audit as primarily financial in nature

and as long as financial controls are seen to be fully in place, he is less concerned with other aspects of internal

control. When Susan asked about operational controls in the production facility Barney said that these were not the

concern of the internal audit committee. This, he said, was because as long as the accounting systems and financial

controls were fully functional, all other systems may be assumed to be working correctly.

Susan, however, was concerned with the operational and quality controls in the production facility. She spoke to

production director Aaron Hardanger, and asked if he would be prepared to produce regular reports for the internal

audit committee on levels of specification compliance and other control issues. Mr Hardanger said that the internal

audit committee had always trusted him because his reputation as a manager was very good. He said that he had

never been asked to provide compliance evidence to the internal audit committee and saw no reason as to why he

should start doing so now.

At board level, the non-executive chairman, George Allejandra, said that he only instituted the internal audit committee

in the first place in order to be seen to be in compliance with the stock market’s requirement that Gluck and Goodman

should have one. He believed that internal audit committees didn’t add materially to the company. They were, he

believed, one of those ‘outrageous demands’ that regulatory authorities made without considering the consequences

in smaller companies nor the individual needs of different companies. He also complained about the need to have an

internal auditor. He said that Gluck and Goodman used to have a full time internal auditor but when he left a year

ago, he wasn’t replaced. The audit committee didn’t feel it needed an internal auditor because Barney Chester believed

that only financial control information was important and he could get that information from his management

accountant.

Susan asked Mr Allejandra if he recognised that the company was exposing itself to increased market risks by failing

to have an effective audit committee. Mr Allejandra said he didn’t know what a market risk was.

Required:

(a) Internal control and audit are considered to be important parts of sound corporate governance.

(i) Describe FIVE general objectives of internal control. (5 marks)

正确答案:
3 (a) (i) FIVE general objectives of internal control
An internal control system comprises the whole network of systems established in an organisation to provide reasonable
assurance that organisational objectives will be achieved.
Specifically, the general objectives of internal control are as follows:
To ensure the orderly and efficient conduct of business in respect of systems being in place and fully implemented.
Controls mean that business processes and transactions take place without disruption with less risk or disturbance and
this, in turn, adds value and creates shareholder value.
To safeguard the assets of the business. Assets include tangibles and intangibles, and controls are necessary to ensure
they are optimally utilised and protected from misuse, fraud, misappropriation or theft.
To prevent and detect fraud. Controls are necessary to show up any operational or financial disagreements that might
be the result of theft or fraud. This might include off-balance sheet financing or the use of unauthorised accounting
policies, inventory controls, use of company property and similar.
To ensure the completeness and accuracy of accounting records. Ensuring that all accounting transactions are fully and
accurately recorded, that assets and liabilities are correctly identified and valued, and that all costs and revenues can be
fully accounted for.
To ensure the timely preparation of financial information which applies to statutory reporting (of year end accounts, for
example) and also management accounts, if appropriate, for the facilitation of effective management decision-making.
[Tutorial note: candidates may address these general objectives using different wordings based on analyses of different
study manuals. Allow latitude]
