How difficult is the CFA program and curriculum, compared to other UK professional programs such as CIMA, ACCA?
CFA is not difficult, it is a Master level course, one has to commit a lot of time and effort to study voluminous amount of readings. Unlike CIMA or ACCA which are bachelor’s level one cannot do study skimpy and pass CFA exams, just because you have an accounting background. Lots of qualified Accountants fail CFA exams.
