为了更好的制订学习计划,近期有小伙伴就在询问2020年考ACCA对进四大有哪些好处的相关消息,鉴于此,51题库考试学习网在下面为大家带来2020年考ACCA对进四大有哪些好处的相关信息,以供参考。

ACCA在国内称为"国际注册会计师",实际上是特许公认会计师公会的缩写,它是英国具有特许头衔的4家注册会计师协会之一,也是当今最知名的国际性会计师组织之一。

ACCA会员资格在国际上得到广泛认可,尤其得到欧盟立法以及许多国家公司法的承认。所以拥有ACCA会员资格,就拥有了在世界各地就业的"通行证" ACCA专业就业前景非常好,取得ACCA资格相当于拥有打开职业发展之门的金钥匙,其绝大多数学员及会员在外资企业、合资企业、金融机构和会计师事务所担任重要的管理职务。学习ACCA对进四大有哪些好处?

一、资质部分。其实懂得人都知道,四大并不是一个很限专业的地方,从来没有硬性要求应聘者是财会专业的,因为四大希望不同专业的人才可以进入四大工作。你可以不是财会专业,但并不代表你可以对财会一窍不通。ACCA作为一个国际注册会计师这样一个权威的证书,很大程度上可以弥补你专业知识的缺憾。因此如果你目前是非财经专业,甚至是工科专业,也依旧有机会借此实现进入四大的梦想。

二、简历部分。ACCA可以成为你投简历的敲门砖。许多同学可能不是985院校毕业,对于一个几乎没有工作经验的应届生,ACCA将成为你能力的一个体现。

三、网申部分。对于四大的网申和逻辑思维测试,相信大家也有所了解,ACCA专业的学术英文学习及案例分析题,充分培养了你分析问题解决问题的能力,可以大大增加网申环节的成功率。因为ACCA课程的设计就是为培养事务所高端人才而准备的。

四、群面部分。ACCA很多课程尤其是上升到P阶段之后,更多是站在企业财务管理人员甚至CFO的角度来考虑问题,举一个例子,四大的面试招聘一般都有“群殴”环节,一般是给一个全英文的案例提出相关的问题,然后小组进行讨论,最后英文presentation,这个案例分析的模式有没有很熟悉?没错就是ACCA课程各科主观题的考试模式!

五、许多四大PAR面的面试官本身就是ACCA会员,对持有ACCA证书的面试者,从个人能力及知识技能上有种默认的认可,听说过哈弗毕业圈的故事吗?财务界,你的面试官没准就是你的ACCA前辈哦。

下面小编为大家准备了 ACCA考试 的相关考题,供大家学习参考。

(c) Define ‘market risk’ for Mr Allejandra and explain why Gluck and Goodman’s market risk exposure is

increased by failing to have an effective audit committee. (5 marks)

正确答案:
(c) Market risk
Definition of market risk
Market risks are those arising from any of the markets that a company operates in. Most common examples are those risks
from resource markets (inputs), product markets (outputs) or capital markets (finance).
[Tutorial note: markers should exercise latitude in allowing definitions of market risk. IFRS 7, for example, offers a technical
definition: ‘Market risk is the risk that the fair value or cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in
market prices. Market risk reflects interest rate risk, currency risk, and other price risks’.]
Why non-compliance increases market risk
The lack of a fully compliant committee structure (such as having a non-compliant audit committee) erodes investor
confidence in the general governance of a company. This will, over time, affect share price and hence company value. Low
company value will threaten existing management (possibly with good cause in the case of Gluck and Goodman) and make
the company a possible takeover target. It will also adversely affect price-earnings and hence market confidence in Gluck and
Goodman’s shares. This will make it more difficult to raise funds from the stock market.

4 You are a senior manager in Becker & Co, a firm of Chartered Certified Accountants offering audit and assurance

services mainly to large, privately owned companies. The firm has suffered from increased competition, due to two

new firms of accountants setting up in the same town. Several audit clients have moved to the new firms, leading to

loss of revenue, and an over staffed audit department. Bob McEnroe, one of the partners of Becker & Co, has asked

you to consider how the firm could react to this situation. Several possibilities have been raised for your consideration:

1. Murray Co, a manufacturer of electronic equipment, is one of Becker & Co’s audit clients. You are aware that the

company has recently designed a new product, which market research indicates is likely to be very successful.

The development of the product has been a huge drain on cash resources. The managing director of Murray Co

has written to the audit engagement partner to see if Becker & Co would be interested in making an investment

in the new product. It has been suggested that Becker & Co could provide finance for the completion of the

development and the marketing of the product. The finance would be in the form. of convertible debentures.

Alternatively, a joint venture company in which control is shared between Murray Co and Becker & Co could be

established to manufacture, market and distribute the new product.

2. Becker & Co is considering expanding the provision of non-audit services. Ingrid Sharapova, a senior manager in

Becker & Co, has suggested that the firm could offer a recruitment advisory service to clients, specialising in the

recruitment of finance professionals. Becker & Co would charge a fee for this service based on the salary of the

employee recruited. Ingrid Sharapova worked as a recruitment consultant for a year before deciding to train as

an accountant.

3. Several audit clients are experiencing staff shortages, and it has been suggested that temporary staff assignments

could be offered. It is envisaged that a number of audit managers or seniors could be seconded to clients for

periods not exceeding six months, after which time they would return to Becker & Co.

Required:

Identify and explain the ethical and practice management implications in respect of:

(a) A business arrangement with Murray Co. (7 marks)

正确答案:
4 Becker & Co
(a) Joint business arrangement
The business opportunity in respect of Murray Co could be lucrative if the market research is to be believed.
However, IFAC’s Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants states that a mutual business arrangement is likely to give rise
to self-interest and intimidation threats to independence and objectivity. The audit firm must be and be seen to be independent
of the audit client, which clearly cannot be the case if the audit firm and the client are seen to be working together for a
mutual financial gain.
In the scenario, two options are available. Firstly, Becker & Co could provide the audit client with finance to complete the
development and take the product to market. There is a general prohibition on audit firms providing finance to their audit
clients. This would create a clear financial self-interest threat as the audit firm would be receiving a return on investment from
their client. The Code states that if a firm makes a loan (or guarantees a loan) to a client, the self-interest threat created would
be so significant that no safeguard could reduce the threat to an acceptable level.
The provision of finance using convertible debentures raises a further ethical problem, because if the debentures are ultimately
converted to equity, the audit firm would then hold equity shares in their audit client. This is a severe financial self-interest,
which safeguards are unlikely to be able to reduce to an acceptable level.
The finance should not be advanced to Murray Co while the company remains an audit client of Becker & Co.
The second option is for a joint venture company to be established. This would be perceived as a significant mutual business
interest as Becker & Co and Murray Co would be investing together, sharing control and sharing a return on investment in
the form. of dividends. IFAC’s Code of Ethics states that unless the relationship between the two parties is clearly insignificant,
the financial interest is immaterial, and the audit firm is unable to exercise significant influence, then no safeguards could
reduce the threat to an acceptable level. In this case Becker & Co may not enter into the joint venture arrangement while
Murray Co is still an audit client.
The audit practice may consider that investing in the new electronic product is a commercial strategy that it wishes to pursue,
either through loan finance or using a joint venture arrangement. In this case the firm should resign as auditor with immediate
effect in order to eliminate any ethical problem with the business arrangement. The partners should carefully consider if the
potential return on investment will more than compensate for the lost audit fee from Murray Co.
The partners should also reflect on whether they want to diversify to such an extent – this investment is unlikely to be in an
area where any of the audit partners have much knowledge or expertise. A thorough commercial evaluation and business risk
analysis must be performed on the new product to ensure that it is a sound business decision for the firm to invest.
The audit partners should also consider how much time they would need to spend on this business development, if they
decided to resign as auditors and to go ahead with the investment. Such a new and important project could mean that they
take their focus off the key business i.e. the audit practice. They should consider if it would be better to spend their time trying
to compete effectively with the two new firms of accountants, trying to retain key clients, and to attract new accounting and
audit clients rather than diversify into something completely different.

3 Spica, one of the director shareholders of Acrux Ltd, has been in dispute with the other shareholders over plans to

expand the company’s activities overseas. In order to resolve the position it has been agreed that Spica will sell her

shares back to the company. Once the purchase of her shares has taken place, the company intends to establish a
