Now that I am an Affiliate it's just the beginning of the interesting part of my career. Coz to have the ACCA title against my name I have to do some RELEVANT accounting work and above it has to be signed off by a professional.
Before starting the ACCA I had previous accounting experience for over 3 years - does that count? I doubt it because in Kenya we did it differently (It hurts, kills me! --- sorry I'm listening to Ginuiwine on capital). If only I could backdate my experience. Anyway slowly but surely I will get there.
The relevant experience is important now. Last year I attended an Afro-Carribean function hosted by Ernst & Young here in London. I got my hopes very high after the function but lost interest after sometime - my contact kept sending me emails that they are still looking for something for me, by the time my exams were getting nearer I had to give less attention to that. Guess this is the time to go back to them - fingers crossed.
Yes it can be tough for foreigners here when it comes to getting RELEVANT experience - a friend from Ghana is going back home next month to see if things will work out, if not he will be back here after a month.
Should I do the same thing? mmmm!
