Answer 1 :
Afraid not honey. You're going to have to wait till you pass your finals before you can start including letters after your name. I'm in the same boat as you. Very much looking forward to the day when my name appears in the Financial Times. Yey! You are so close! Just one more push and you'll be qualified. What is it you are doing? CIMA or ACCA or ACA or what? Whatever it is, hang in there. Everyone tells me it will be worth it in the end.

Risk Roland Britten, accountant and champion steeplechase jockey, wakes in confusion. He's cold, blind, and can't find his hands. Something above prevents him from sitting up, and a rumbling din fills his hearing and rattles his bones. Obviously, he surmises, it is pitch-dark and he is bound near some kind of engine. But why? And where? And hen is quickly recaptured in a deadly game of cat and mouse. What is at stake is his very life, and that is worth any risk... A great book by the late & much lamented Dick Francis

Answer 1 :
No, perfume is too intimate. Flowers or a plant would both be good or a gift certicate to a restaurant.
Answer 2 :
i don't really now..that may be a little personal..i would opt for a Chilli's gift card or a lunch on him !
Answer 3 :
Perfume may be a bit on the flirty side! What about a nice bottle of wine or liquour instead? That's always a classic thank you gift.
Answer 4 :
It's probably NOT appropriate unless you're involved with the female friend on a personal or otherwise intimate basis . Perfumes are a popular gift during Christmas and Valentines because it's an intimate gift
Answer 5 :
How about some kind of spa voucher? It's a bit less on the romantic gift side. Or some kind of unusual plant... or something connected with their hobby.
Answer 6 :
I think it's totally acceptable. Come on, we are talking about the male species. What do they know? I think it's a sweet gift. He tried.
Answer 7 :
i think it seems kind of weird. a gift certificate to a restaurant sounds better.
Answer 8 :
a gift certificate will be just fine...not too personal
Answer 9 :
A restaurant gift card would be somewhat more appropriate. Perfume is a little on the personal side.
Answer 10 :
Nothing wrong with giving her perfume as a thank you. Other suggestions are: chocolates, flowers, a potted plant, a c.d.
Answer 11 :
Perfume is a personal thing really,everyone likes different smells. I love some perfumes that my friend hates for example. A nice gift would be some flowers and a bottle of wine.
Answer 12 :
For me, perfume would be too personal, but I'm "old school" I guess. You don't want to give perfume to your co-worker, that might be weird, but more importantly you might not know what perfume they like and each perfume reacts and smells differently on each individual because of their own natural scent. So I am thinking, a gift certificate, a plant, a box of candy, a gift basket. Any of those, I'd really enjoy as a kind and thoughtful gesture.
Answer 13 :
it depends on what they did for you. even if it was big, it's still a little strong. i recommend just going with the traditional small gifts. maybe try chocolates, or a gift certificate to her favorte restaurant. either way you can't go wrong! I hope this helps!
Answer 14 :
I feel if both parties are single its okay but if either party is married nope thats inappropiate! Bring lunch in or, a book their fave magazine, a card, or a gift certificate to Walmart or somewhere.
Answer 15 :
I think perfume would be an ideal gesture. However, if you don't know what she likes PLEASE seek advice from someone who knows her well. Perfume can be expensive and females all like individual fragrances. You wouldn't want to give her something that she really didn't like. It is the same with vouchers for health clubs, spa's etc they require to by 'in' to that type of thing and in any case probably would not want to go without a friend and I am sure giving for two people would be extremely expensive and embarrassing to her if she was just helping you out. If you are unsure get her some vouchers for a really big department store, place inside a nice Thank You card and sincerely write your thanks.
Answer 16 :
Ooooo that ones tricky. It really depends on the person. Personally I really think thats a bad idea. Giving perfume to someone (unless its a birthday present) usually will give the idea that your 'interested' in them. Also that person might not like the fragrance, and her partner might get uncomfortable knowing that she's wearing a fragrance bought be another guy. I think the best gift is to actually do something in return! This way you are giving something back in the form of what you received (a good deed). Maybe cook a nice dinner, walk her dog a few times, or offer to do a few small favors here and there.
Answer 17 :
Well,I dont think there is anything wrong with the gift.All men know women love perfumes. A yoúng lady gave me a perfume as gift for christmas.Does it mean she loves me,I dont think so.
Answer 18 :
Perfume is too personal a gift. How about a restaurant certificate or have a nice plant sent to her office.
Answer 19 :
Many people would be rather offended by that as it is too intimate. Maybe a Boots voucher would be more appropriate or any other one and she can take it as it is meant.

How do you become an accountant by ACCA? please help.........?
How do you become an accountant by ACCA? please help.........?
i got really really bad grades in my a levels. i did not get into any university. but i really want a degree. i heard that you can become a chartered accountant by doing a training course in accounting firm such as ACCA. what requirements do i need to do this. how long will it take me to become a qualified accountant. will i get a degree or any other recognisable qualifications with this.

Answer 1 :
1. Requirements Please see the relevant portion from the ACCA website; http://www.accaglobal.com/learningproviders/tuition_provider/faq/general#1 " Individuals must have obtained university matriculation (2 A Levels and 3 GCSEs in five separate subjects including English and Mathematics), or equivalent, before they can register as an ACCA student. Individuals normally over 21 years may register through the Mature Student Entry Route (MSER). " You can visit the above link, if it is still not clear to you, you can send your specific inquiry to info@accaglobal.com . they are very professional and prompt in replying queries. You will get an answer insha Allah. but please do not take it as a last resort, it is a highly sough after, internationally recognized qualification. You can become a chartered accountant / chartered certified accountant uniquely after passing ACCA exams. 2. How long it will take / will I get a degree with this There are 14 papers The exams are twice an year The maximum no. of papers per sitting is 4 i.e maximum 8 in an year. and minimum 2.5 years for completion. Thats for full ACCA, but once you clear 9 papers, i.e after 1.5 years, you can apply for B.Sc in applied accountancy from Oxford Brookes university, they have arrangement for that with ACCA. only you need to submit a thesis. So you can become an (partially) qualified accountant within 1.5 years and a fully qualified ACCA by 2.5 years (minimum). Go for it, its good. Best wishes.
