本人在中国有注册会计师证书,希望到加国后继续从事会计工作,听说那边要从事会计工作要有当地执业资格(CA,CGA,CMA),请高明人士指点一下,是到加拿大后,到学校念一个会计类的学位毕业,还是考从业资格?哪种工作前景更好?薪水如何?另外,如果考从业资格,是考哪种?CA?CGA?CMA?

CGA的难度如何?你全部考过了吗?

瞌睡虫 : 2005-11-08#6
难度不是太大, 因为我工作忙, 岁数比较大了, 肯定读起来觉得累, 而且现在累病了不是.我是今年全部考完的, 对于考过国内注会的人来说, 如果英语过关,还是比较容易的,就是挺占时间的, 毕竟要考的科目比较多呀.

对于前景, 我自己都不知道呢.但是我是想用来到加以后找工作的.

小南瓜及各位有经验的朋友,如果还没有加拿大会计资格,过去后能否先从事会计工作,再慢慢考证书获得提高?能否给指引 一下职业发展道路?多谢!!!

醉里吴音的文章可以好好看看,她是MBA毕业现在从事会计专业工作的。虽然我不会学习会计专业,但也觉得很受启发。

没有本地经验和证书也有工作机会,我一个朋友就找到了一份初级工作。建议来了之后可以先参加一个workshop学习一下找工作的技巧。

彩霞满天 : 2005-11-16#20
太谢谢了!在此给你们送鲜花!!

瞌睡虫 : 2005-11-16#21
TO 彩霞漫天

CGA一年最多考4次,每次可选1门或以上, 但是我觉得每次1门就可以了, 如果按照每年4门的速度, 3年之内可以考完, 最后一门难度比较大, 也许需要比较长的准备时间.授课内容都在网上, 如果讨论问题的话, 有学习小组.不过我没有参加过学习小组.前面的课程我感觉作业比考试难, 考试都是比较一般的知识,题目我虽然在考前不知道, 但是考完发现历年的考题很有用, 做几套就可以了. 就是应付作业比较头痛, 你想象每周都写作业, 赶上周末加班, 就要干通宵.

亲亲我的宝贝猪猪 : 2005-11-16#22
顶一下。

瞌睡虫 : 2005-11-16#23
TO Wyman,

我以前考过ACCA,考到一半, 转到了CGA,有些半图而费.
学了7门, 有的只写作业, 不考试, 需要看你的评估结果如何. 从02年初开考, 中间因病休息1年, 05年考完了.
觉得比较辛苦, 但与ACCA不同, CGA是平时辛苦, 考试放松, 而ACCA正相反, 书都看的非常明白, 拿来考题却不知所云.

sattva : 2005-11-16#24
出去再考,费用三千刀,国内要四万多,而且国内考的不大好用,因为免试标准不同
所以你在国内的评估结果不能拿到加拿大去入学,我打电话问过了。
考四门上可以转学

sattva : 2005-11-16#25
我一直觉得做会计是个比较耻辱的行业

瞌睡虫 : 2005-11-16#26
听了SATTVA的话, 俺好痛苦.

HELENAWU : 2005-11-16#27
瞌睡虫有毅力考完CGA,是让人佩服的,不耻辱,别痛苦了!

痛苦的是还要去考的人,比如我之类的,呵呵。。。

亲爱的蚊子 : 2005-11-16#28
sattva 说到
“我一直觉得做会计是个比较耻辱的行业 ”

为什么呢,会有这种感觉?

sattva : 2005-11-17#29
我在这行已经弄了十五年了,感觉是:
1\学的东西大多没什么用,
2\做这个不象业务人员对行业有真正接触,虽然在很多行业都可以找到工作,但对任何一个行业都不真正了解,很难有自己的真正事业.
3\做这行大多是些琐碎的工作,看着好象成果不少,做了很多事,但觉得最终并没什么用,
4\不认为会计学可以作为一门科学,虽然试图用科学的方法来进行
5\觉得没有为人类做过什么,却吃了这多年饭.耻辱

还有,在别人看来,看得懂报表跟俺们多年本专业的没什么区别

亲爱的蚊子 : 2005-11-17#30
sattva的话有道理!
我是做这个的,可是我一点都不喜欢呀,我生性活泼,好动,但是学的就是这个,你说突然一下转哪儿去呀,老大!呵,没办法,老老实实干吧。

sattva : 2005-11-17#31
我转过行呀,考过风马牛不相及专业的博士,而且考的每门都是第一名呀,可是单位不让去读.
没转行成,气愤之下就辞职移民了.
我想去学习种花,权当奢侈的爱好,但或许有天有用.CGA过去再看考不考,只是混口饭吃的,如果跟打累博收入差不多就不考了,我不喜欢坐着不动的死板工作.

亲爱的蚊子,所见略同,为你加声望!

sattva : 2005-11-17#32
今天显示网页有错误,加不上,下次再补上.

Suzhou : 2005-11-18#33
Hello, Sattva. I was really shocked by what you said about "accountant".

I am an accountant too and really love my job. As a good accountant, you also need to talk with different guys to know the facts behind the figures. Acctually, communication is the most important thing for an accountant.

Suzhou : 2005-11-18#34
Without accountant, people can not have clear picture of the company's financial result. And we are also help people to understand the financial impact from what they plan to do.

Are these things not important?

wyman : 2005-11-18#35
城里的人想出去,城外的人想进来~~~就是这样子.
到底考不考?现在等移民也是浪费时间,考个4、5门再转过去不知道好不好~
Anybody agree with me?

亲爱的蚊子 : 2005-11-18#36
先谢过sattva,分分虽是下次加上,但还是先谢过!!

又看了“苏洲”同学的话,这样吧,会计不能说它完全不重要,喜欢做这个工作的人,钻进去了,他们做起来还是很有成就感的。
我有一位中年的注会的老大姐,她就很是痴迷于数字,也热衷于与税务的人和各行业的会计工作打交道,与人争辩起财务方面的东西来忘记了一切,说起话来句句犀利无法回驳。

兴趣是最好的老师。一旦喜欢,就能把它做得很好很好。
俗语说三百六十行,行行出状元,说得很对。做什么事情都能成就大业,发大财,就看你能否把它做到最顶尖。我前几天还看报纸上说,一个人养猪还成了千万富翁呢,成了养猪这一行里的最杰出的人之一呢。呵呵

亲爱的蚊子 : 2005-11-18#37
sattva,同学,我也在种花花呀,我在我家园子里面,种了好多花呢,花了我不少钱,因为我刚开始不会插枝嫁接之类,只好买现成的。
种花挺费劲的呢,不种不知道,一种才知晓得呀,又要除荲又要灭虫,隔些日子就得打药,
施肥,浇水。夏天每天浇七八桶水才把院子浇透。
不过还比较有成就感呢,我的桂花树长得很好,又高大又漂亮,今年八月已经开过花,月季花圃也至到现在还开着红艳艳的花朵,金银花也爬藤了,爬了半边围栏了。

选择你喜欢的,喜欢你选择的。

我准备明年中开始学,DIY递完档就去了解详情。

瞌睡虫方便给我个E-mail吗?我想一定会有问题请教你的。先谢谢了!

我虽然工作时间不长,只有6年,但却一路做到了比较好的位置.虽然会计知识极度缺乏,没有任何证书,但是却要领导公司的财务部.财务类的考试,我是没有希望了,但是不干这行,在其他部门又挣不到现在的地位和金钱.证书,证书!!!!财务永远的痛啊!!!!是哪个人规定财务一定要不断的考证,苦就一个字!!!白领中的体力劳动!!!

我也是误打误撞进了这个行业,曾经很反感这种工作, 但是有点象温水中加热的青蛙,自己的体温在升高, 也在适应, 最终没有被烫死而已.

其实任何你喜欢的东西, 变成职业以后就不那样可爱了, 所以对我而言,会计只是一种专业和生存的手段. 我是那种对不喜欢的事物, 接触长时间以后也会产生感情的人, 做就做好, 否则沾都不沾.

坦白讲, 做了会计这一行, 性格多少也有了改变.有好的, 也有不好的.但是我觉得人活在这个世界上, 时间很短暂, 把兴趣和职业划等号, 是非常难得而可遇不可求的, 倒不如把眼前的事情先作好.何况真的兴趣也职业化了, 恐怕也就没有了先前的意思了, 比如我喜欢导演和电影, 但是如果我真的以此为职业的话, 我再去看电影时, 可能就无法身处其中充分享受乐趣而更多的精力去注意市场和观众的反映,关心票房收入和能否收回成本, 凡此种种, 令我对职业有了新的认识.

无论如何, 俺11月26日参加了毕业典礼, 不过证书是薄薄的一张A3纸,有些失望,不好保存和携带,一直在想, 这就是俺4万多元的代价吗? 回想起ACCA的证书也是这样非常草率的一张纸,唉.有些茫然了.

看了大家的贴,也是我目前在深深考虑的,虽然以前学的主课是工业会计,可是一不小心转了行,一干就是好几年,会计的东西全还给老师了,再说以前学的与当今西方会计完全不同,为了今后的谋生,当地加拿大朋友主张我去继续上会计课程,但一看前面的贴子,真不知该如何走下去,请热心网友提些好建议。

If you really decided to go to Canada, I would suggest you take the CGA programm and find an accounting job in an American or Canadian company before immigration.

I have been working in European companies for serveral years and also try to find a job in Canadian company in CHINA. I just registered in CGA program and also plan to take another American CMA program.

I believe working experience in Canadian company and certificates of CGA and CMA will benefit our future in Canada.

那是因为你干的是比较低级的财务工作而已,到你能够掌控公司的发展方向或资源时,你就不会这样讲了,说白了,阶段不同

还有,在别人看来,看得懂报表跟俺们多年本专业的没什么区别

我一直觉得做会计是个比较耻辱的行业
我专业是财会,烤过了cpa,拥有一大堆职称证书
我也受不了枯燥的数字,耐不住寂寞
但当我转做管理时,发现会计理论和知识是如此有用,自己所学竞远远不够

在扯着嗓子嚷嚷前,我们真的又理解了多少~~~

会计理论和知识对管理有用, 这句话我支持
CPA只是个非专业人花三四个月时间照样能全通过的东东,没什么用.CGA好一些,不是因为难考,我想应该更简单,而是因为教材可能编得好一些.

TO Wyman,

我以前考过ACCA,考到一半, 转到了CGA,有些半图而费.
学了7门, 有的只写作业, 不考试, 需要看你的评估结果如何. 从02年初开考, 中间因病休息1年, 05年考完了.
觉得比较辛苦, 但与ACCA不同, CGA是平时辛苦, 考试放松, 而ACCA正相反, 书都看的非常明白, 拿来考题却不知所云.


那你ACCA 转到CGA什么level啊,合适吗:wdb18:
