I think CPA > CAT
CAT is just like a foundation of accountancy and CPA is already a certified accountant ?
Correct me if I'm wrong hehe

Yup. CAT is jz a qualification that will enable its graduates to work in the accounting field, but not as professional accountants (for CPA). It's comparable to LCCI.

You can get membership from other professional bodies too such as ACCA, ICAEW, CIMA etc.

CAT is normally a foundation for ACCA. CAT graduates usually start after SPM and they can pass everything within a year, then proceed straight to ACCA paper F4. They get exemptions from the first three papers, if memory serves me right. My friend who did CAT and then the ACCA finished it before he was 21.


Then again, he worked his butt off.

Foundation > Degree > ACCA or Diploma > ACCA/Degree
