What qualifications are needed to become an Accountant?
hi, i was looking onthe ICS website and they have a course called 'IAB Level 3 Diploma in Accounting & Advanced Book-keeping' and it says 'This qualification allows you to apply to the Association to become a member and use the letters MIAB after your name, offering you a wider choice of career opportunities', but im not sure will i be able to become a member of the ACCA after getting the diploma or will i have to do other courses through the ACCA. Thanks, any info will be great.

I know that at my college, many accounting firms come to recruit student who will be graduating with a Bachelors degree. This is often enough. However, you may go a bit further to get the MAcc (Masters of Accountancy), although this is not usually necessary. You will learn much of what you need with on-the-job training once you are hired. If you are interested in obtaining CPA-status (which is often desired, and sometimes paid for by the firm!), you will need a certain number of credit hours depending on your state. For example, you will need 150 credit hours in Washington State to sit for the CPA exam.
