I was mostly offended by the incorrect spelling of nonsense.

Pass the dip Jon

Maybe we can get the thread back on topic now though Personally I think the CTA qualification adds more value to dealing with contractors than ACCA because large parts of ACCA are to do with accounting policies and various other things that won't affect contractors. However, the thing that having a professional qualification means it that the individuals holding them have to keep up to date with the ever changing legislation and maintain on going professional development.

That said, I think experience counts for a lot in this game, having the qualification is one thing but having an in depth knowledge of all areas affecting contractors is another thing entirely!

Just out of interest, I'm waiting to see what will happen with what ever practicing certificates are held by NW & SJD. If the people who hold these leave then will others within the organisations be able to take responsibility for the on going compliance and get their own practicing certificates or will the firms simply not hold them going forward............
