Endorsing this viewpoint is Dakshani Theeran who stated that “Having a dream of pursuing a career in the accounting and finance field encouraged me to start my professional career with the Certified Accounting Technician (CAT) course at Mercury after O/Ls while simultaneously following my Edexcel London A/Ls. The excellent coaching together with my hard work and determination enabled me to become a CAT graduate winning Sri Lankan prizes. The comprehensive structure of the CAT course and its wide range of subject coverage further contributed towards the completion of my A/Ls achieving the world prize in Edexcel London A/L accounting with a perfect score of 600/600. The successful achievement of becoming a CAT graduate gave me the courage to progress towards ACCA skills level being exempted from the foundation level. The strong foundation and knowledge obtained by doing CAT immensely helped me to successfully complete ACCA within a period of 2 years passing all subjects in the first attempt and winning prizes for audit and advanced tax.
She further stated that” Qualifying as a professional accountant at the age of 20, ACCA also enriched my career by helping me to gain the prestigious B.Sc in Applied Accounting with first class honours from Oxford Brookes University (UK) without doubling the workload of studying 3 years for an academic degree. Possessing both a professional and academic qualification enabled me to be competent and outstanding in the corporate world with recognition for the international qualifications and outstanding performances. ACCA’s unique structure with the CAT route enables students to achieve both ACCA and B.Sc without completing their A/Ls. Having excelled in my educational career, I am currently employed at the global audit firm KPMG being exposed to quality work experience which greatly assists and contributes me in the process of obtaining my ACCA membership. “
