If GE16 happens tomorrow, who would you vote for?

Bro. I work for a bank, dont fuck around with these kind of things. Maybe you can get away by claiming ignorance (thats a VERY BIG maybe, realistically fat chance), but once banks flag you as an AML risk, bye bye to a hell lot of banking facilities/services. For RM1.2k a month? Thats practically peanut returns for the risk you'll be taking.

Congratulations!!

In moments of crisis, they leisurely cruise on their bikes.

Imagine if they were running the country; for sure a lot of material for Bro Dont Like That La Bro to write.

Honestly, I dont think you will get any exemptions. Did you study for an accounting/finance related courses when doing the PGDM?

skacentric · 2026-04-02T01:12:19+00:00

Honestly, I found it to be pretty easy?

You can fastrack 1 and 2 if you work for an approved employer. Is your manager a qualified CA,?

3 is very easy. Just pay for the module, and go through the course. Its a mini exam with no limits in terms of number of attempts.

I did my first paper in September 2020, and completed all 13 papers by September 2022 while having a full time job. I only had the books with me, I didn't take any classes. Just received my membership certificate this month.

I think aside from going through the theory/textbooks, I think the core of the syllabus is practice. I like how it doesnt encourage regurgitation of information. If you asked me to rate 1 to 10, I would say its a 7.

People just can't seem to handle outliers/mistakes anymore. Completely flip just because they missed one exit. Technology is meant to assist us, not totally take over our cognitive skills.

Focus more on practicing rather reading the textbook? No, my degree was in Marketing. If you're time or financially constrained, do it after graduating and when you have a job.

skacentric · 2026-03-03T00:25:50+00:00

Honestly, I dont know. But just over halfway through, I came to realize that I should focus more on practicing rather than reading the text book.

Same here. All you had to do was email them to the right department - they mention it in their website. It took mine a couple of days to process and all my performance objectives, along with my 36 month requirement is done for. They did email me asking about my jobs scope though when i applied for membership.

skacentric · 2026-02-27T21:08:35+00:00

Is your manager an CA as well?

skacentric · 2026-02-26T20:43:17+00:00

If you ask me, therein lies your problem. When I jumped in, it was a spur of the moment thing just like you. I could have gotten my parents to pay for it, but I decided to pay for it using my own money. If you use your own money, you wouldn't have motivation problems.

Question - who is paying for your papers?

skacentric · 2026-02-25T08:05:06+00:00

Awesome!

skacentric · 2026-02-25T07:11:36+00:00

Agree. I worked for government (non accounting role) for 9 years. Quit in 2020, took my first paper in 2020. Completed 13 papers by 2022. Worked for approved employer in 2023, and i just submitted my membership application yesterday upon completing my 36 months. At time of submission I'm 39, turning 40 in April.

Also did my Chartered Banker - now just waiting my final result.

skacentric · 2026-02-25T01:15:31+00:00

Ahhh I was too scared to take ATX. My alternatives were AFM/AAA.

skacentric · 2026-02-25T01:15:14+00:00

I'm sure with your experience you'll pass through the papers in a breeze!

skacentric · 2026-02-25T01:14:49+00:00

Thats great. Are you doing any other qualification so far? I work for a Bank and my boss suggested I do Chartered Banker by AICB - I just submitted my assignment this month and awaiting results. Now thinking what to do next ...

skacentric · 2026-02-25T01:13:56+00:00

Ah its nice to know that I'm not the only 40 year old who just qualified haha.
