ACCA as complement? background, accounting, situation

lunarfollies

Now that CFA exams are over I am also considering something to improve my qualification. I'm contemplating an accounting certification and I think ACCA looks good.

My situation:23 to be 24 male, strive to become the CEO of a fortune 500, finance background.

considering that you are a male i think CEO is a good professional objective (???)

Wouldn't do that. ACCA is a purely accounting qualification, with some basic elements of financial management and performance measurement

You'd better concentrate on CFA 'cause there's quite enough accounting background that CFA can provide you through its fin. reporting related topics

I'm an ACCA with finance background

but I thought to be a CEO or CFO of a fortune 500, having a corporate side focused accounting degree would definitely boost my knowledge/chance. Knowing tax/law/management accounting/etc. would be as important as just financial reporting?

I hope your Harvard MBA is going well.
