How to study for Accounting Exam?

Can I take LCCI diploma accounting exam self study when also doing ACCA?

• I am doing ACCA Level one now. However I do not have any accounting background, so I thought being an accountant as a start will be difficult before completing the course or after. So I am thinking should I register for LCCI diploma in accounting exam and do self study as some of the subject was same as ACCA Level one. example are accounting and management accounting. Maybe after i get the LCCI cert, i can temporary work as a book-keeper or account assistant and with few years experience than with my ACCA, I can go to a higher level. Please advice. Am I doing the right things.

• Answer:

  LCCI diploma does help with ACCA since you would have had 'experience' with the subjects in ACCA. Not only that it will make it easier for you to understand what you're learning in ACCA, it will help to provide you with the necessary background knowledge so you dont feel lost when you study for ACCA.
