发布时间:2020-04-20



ACCA在财经领域认可度最高,拥有世界上最多的学员和会员,中文翻译为“国际注册会计师”。但是很多人很迷茫,不知道报考这个证书是否真的有用。今天就带大家了解一下ACCA的优势。

1、岗位缺口大,个人发展前景广阔。

国内基本上都是技术型会计,ACCA考试更偏重于财务管理以及财务统筹、预算以及规划企业走向和未来发展。ACCA和中国传统的应试教育方式非常不同,但又形成非常好的互补,先获取知识用再来解决实际的财务问题,这对于学习传统财会技能的中国学生来说是一次形成逻辑思维能力和开阔宏观的大好机会。

调查研究发现,在招聘工作中,大部分招聘职位如财务总监、总经理助理、董事长助理以及CFO等都可能要求具有ACCA的资格。这些职位要求求职者不仅需要具备财务方面的基础专业知识,还需要具备财务分析能力、财务管理能力、做出专业的财务报告的能力等。

2、知识结构完善。

ACCA考试设置了15门课程,课程内容涵盖了会计、审计方面的专业知识,同时也涵盖人力资源、公司管理、战略决策、财务管理、法务、税务、业绩衡量、职业道德等方面的知识体系,为ACCA学员提供了完整的国际财会知识架构,让学员无论从事财务、金融还是管理等方面的工作都能大放异彩。

3、职场高薪。

ACCA是全球规模最大的专业会计师组织,被公认是“国际财会界的通行证”。财会专业的目前情况是,财务会计已经达到饱和,所以拥有ACCA证书的管理会计型人才一直都十分受到世界500强企业和国际国内大型知名企业的欢迎。在中国,共有700多家的国际国内知名企业,他们是ACCA的“认可雇主企业”,如BP石油、联合利华、可口可乐、空客公司、GE等,ACCA在这些企业就职的话,个人职业发展会非常不错。

4、薪资待遇高。

ACCA官方调查结果显示,其会员目前在中国的年薪平均在30万左右及以上不等。超过75%ACCA中国会员在任职财务岗位三年内获得职位提升,41%以上的ACCA会员任财务总监及以上职位,ACCA成为财务人士职位晋升的最佳通行证。

5、科目可免考。

法律/金融/会计专业在校生、毕业生、MPACC以及CPA/CMA资格证持有者可以免试相关科目。

6、报考门槛低。

只需要完成大一学业或以上学历任何专业的学生,都可申请注册成为ACCA学员。如果无学历背景,可先报考FLQ。通过FLQ考试后,可免考前三科,直接进入ACCA LW课程的学习。

7、考试周期灵活。

ACCA学员每年可参加四次考试,每年最多可以考八门科目,ACCA在全国各地设有上百个考点,考生也可在全球多个国家和地区参加考试。还有,ACCA基础阶段9门考试不设时限,专业阶段需在7年内通过。

如果你是财会从业人员或者有意向在财会领域发展的人员都是可以报考的,总体来说,ACCA的含金量还是比较高的,想拿高薪、享受福利待遇的同学不要错过。更多资讯请关注51题库考试学习网。



下面小编为大家准备了 ACCA考试 的相关考题,供大家学习参考。

(a) An assistant of yours has been criticised over a piece of assessed work that he produced for his study course for giving the definition of a non-current asset as ‘a physical asset of substantial cost, owned by the company, which will last longer than one year’.

Required:

Provide an explanation to your assistant of the weaknesses in his definition of non-current assets when

compared to the International Accounting Standards Board’s (IASB) view of assets. (4 marks)

(b) The same assistant has encountered the following matters during the preparation of the draft financial statements of Darby for the year ending 30 September 2009. He has given an explanation of his treatment of them.

(i) Darby spent $200,000 sending its staff on training courses during the year. This has already led to an

improvement in the company’s efficiency and resulted in cost savings. The organiser of the course has stated that the benefits from the training should last for a minimum of four years. The assistant has therefore treated the cost of the training as an intangible asset and charged six months’ amortisation based on the average date during the year on which the training courses were completed. (3 marks)

(ii) During the year the company started research work with a view to the eventual development of a new

processor chip. By 30 September 2009 it had spent $1·6 million on this project. Darby has a past history

of being particularly successful in bringing similar projects to a profitable conclusion. As a consequence the

assistant has treated the expenditure to date on this project as an asset in the statement of financial position.

Darby was also commissioned by a customer to research and, if feasible, produce a computer system to

install in motor vehicles that can automatically stop the vehicle if it is about to be involved in a collision. At

30 September 2009, Darby had spent $2·4 million on this project, but at this date it was uncertain as to

whether the project would be successful. As a consequence the assistant has treated the $2·4 million as an

expense in the income statement. (4 marks)

(iii) Darby signed a contract (for an initial three years) in August 2009 with a company called Media Today to

install a satellite dish and cabling system to a newly built group of residential apartments. Media Today will

provide telephone and television services to the residents of the apartments via the satellite system and pay

Darby $50,000 per annum commencing in December 2009. Work on the installation commenced on

1 September 2009 and the expenditure to 30 September 2009 was $58,000. The installation is expected

to be completed by 31 October 2009. Previous experience with similar contracts indicates that Darby will

make a total profit of $40,000 over the three years on this initial contract. The assistant correctly recorded

the costs to 30 September 2009 of $58,000 as a non-current asset, but then wrote this amount down to

$40,000 (the expected total profit) because he believed the asset to be impaired.

The contract is not a finance lease. Ignore discounting. (4 marks)

Required:

For each of the above items (i) to (iii) comment on the assistant’s treatment of them in the financial

statements for the year ended 30 September 2009 and advise him how they should be treated under

International Financial Reporting Standards.

Note: the mark allocation is shown against each of the three items above.

(b) How can Maslow’s theory be applied to the motivation of staff? (5 marks)

正确答案:
(b) This theory is based on the idea that the goals of the individual and the organisation can be integrated and that personal satisfaction can be achieved through the workplace. It also assumes that individuals will achieve self-actualisation through their role in assisting the organisation to achieve its objectives. It follows therefore that work is the principal source of satisfaction.
The theory’s practical application is that managers should recognise that subordinates’ needs are always evolving and increasing, so continued attention to increasing the employees’ personal development, opportunities for advancement and recognition of achievement are essential to keep them motivated.

4 (a) A company may choose to finance its activities mainly by equity capital, with low borrowings (low gearing) or by

relying on high borrowings with relatively low equity capital (high gearing).

Required:

Explain why a highly geared company is generally more risky from an investor’s point of view than a company

with low gearing. (3 marks)

正确答案:
(a) A highly-geared company has an obligation to pay interest on its loans regardless of its profit level. It will show high profits if
its overall rate of return on capital is greater than the rate of interest being paid on its borrowings, but a low profit or a loss if
there is a down-turn in its profit such that the rate of interest to be paid exceeds the return on its assets.
