Answer 1 :
You need to join an accounting company as a junior and either by night school or day release from the job take the necessary courses. It will take you about 5 more years to achieve charter status. You cannot get charter status from doing a course. It has to be combined with real work and experience.

Answer 1 :
If you want to become an investment banker, it is technically essential that you take economics a level. it is also advisable that you take maths a level. it is not essential, but would be better than accounting for when you apply for university. as accounting is seen as a soft option. hope this helps. good luck.
Answer 2 :
To be an accountant GCSE maths is fine. You can go through a career as an accountant and work towards being an investment banker but the path will involve lots of economics and even more, rather demanding, mathematics. You need to ask yourself why do you want to be an investment banker and why you did study maths and economics?
Answer 3 :
You seem to be a little confused. An accountant and an investment banker are two totally different career paths. For either, Maths would be an excellent choice of A'level. For investment banking, the standard track is to go to a first rate uni, get a couple of years of work experience as a Financial Analyst and then get an MBA. Best to avoid Business Studies as an undergrad as Business/Business is too narrow. They like to see a broader education. Pretty much anything else works. Law is ideal. To become an accountant, you don't necessarily need to go to university but most do and read Accounting or Maths. However, it is also perfectly possible to read something like Physics or Engineering. They just need to see a logical mind and a good eye for detail.

how to become chartered accountant?
how to become chartered accountant?
I have an accounting certificate (4 years study) from commercial hight school in tunisia and I want to become chartered accountant in U.K how to do ?and wich studying I need to do?

Answer 1 :
To become a chartered accountant in the UK there are two main routes: 1. Straight after high school start working at an accountancy firm. They will put you on a training scheme, and you should be chartered sometime before the age of 23. 2. Go to university, doing a degree in a proper subject (e.g. maths, english, science, engineering, history etc. NOT sports science, media studies, David Beckham studies...). After university start at an accountancy firm, who will again put you on a training scheme. Going to uni takes 3 years, and saves you one year of accountancy training, so you'll be chartered 2 years later.
Answer 2 :
In order to become a chartered accountant you need to take and pass the exams of one of the chartered accountancy bodies. In the UK there are 6 chartered accountancy bodies (ACCA, CIMA, ICAEW, CIPFA, ICAS and ICAI). The decision regarding which set of exams you take depends on which area of accounting you wish to work in. For example, if you want to work in industry as a management accountant then you will be best advised to study for the CIMA exams, if you want to work within the public sector, eg. in the national health service, then you would be best advised to study towards the CIPFA exams. However, if you want to work in public practice as an auditor or tax advisor then the ACCA, ICAEW, ICAS or ICAI exams would be better suited to you. Given that you are from Tunisia you will need to obtain a work permit in order to study within the UK. I'm not sure what level your accounting certificate is, but if you do not have a degree then you would be best advised to study towards one of the accounting technician qualifications (AAT or CAT) before embarking on a chartered accountancy qualification. Given your nationality it might be better for you to study towards the ACCA qualification as it has the highest international profile of all the chartered accountancy bodies and it also has an arrangement with Oxford Brookes University which allows you to apply for a BSc degree in Applied Accountancy when you have achieved part-qualified status by submitting an essay to the university. Whichever route you take it must be appreciated that the exams are very demanding and in addition to passing exams you will need to achieve at least three years practical experience within an accounting environment. http://www.frc.org.uk/images/uploaded/documents/Final%20printers%20file%20key%20facts%20and%20trends%20Nov%2006.pdf http://www.accaglobal.com/students/study_exams/qualifications/degree/ http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AkpBEYB90UpvkVX__kgmT6xJBgx.?qid=20070219112650AAtbTwc
