Answer 2 :
ye m8 it would help alot.!
Answer 3 :
You need to talk to firms with whom you hope to train. Some only want to employ graduates, not necessarily with an accounting degree though. Send to the Institute of Chartered Accountants for details. Try www.icaew.co.uk
Answer 4 :
it's not necessary but it depends where you want to go in your career if you want to hit the heights yes go but if you want to be a normal accountant it's not necessary I knew an older man who went into industry as a manager on the basis of him being a fca[i think] and thirty years later he became an accountant again and he never went to university
Answer 5 :
Unless you have a degree in accounting/economics/finance etc you are going nowhere. In fact anybody who wants to make anything of themselves bar in a trade related industry is going nowhere without a degree as a minimum, preferably a post grad one as well. Plus.............best years of your life uni.

Does anyone know if the ACCA is recognised by the AICPA?
Does anyone know if the ACCA is recognised by the AICPA?
I'm 26 and a Chartered Certified Accountant (ACCA) with a BSc (Hons) degree in Applied Accounting. I'd like to move to Florida with my wife and one year old. I'm pretty sure I'd need to become a US CPA but I don't know if the ACCA or my degree is recognised over there?

Answer 1 :
ACCA is a member of IFAC and so is the AICPA. All IFAC member bodies recognise each other. You will only need to pass the AICPA exams if you wish to practice as a public accountant. If you work in the industry or even in an accountancy firm as an employed accountant you do not need to pass the AICPA exams. Passing the AICPA exams will however increase your employability in the U.S. as they are the most well-known body over there.

Answer 1 :
You certainly can, this account is a basic bank account offered to those over 16: http://www.halifax.co.uk/bankaccounts/easycash.asp
Answer 2 :
yes. it would be difficult for any account to work if you couldn't deposit money into it, wouldn't it?
Answer 3 :
There are two ways to do this- Branch: Walk into any Halifax branch and ask for a cheque or cash deopsit envelope (with EXPRESS PAY-IN ENVELOPE written on it). You will need to fill out details such as your account number, sort code, phone number, post code and cash/cheque amount on the envelope. Put the cash/cheque in the envelope, seal it, tear off the stub for your record and drop the envelope into a box next to the tellers. The money goes to your account after 4 PM. Online/Phone: If one of your friends or family do online/phone banking with any other bank (or Halifax), have them transfer the money and pay them in cash. This will save you a trip to the branch.
