02. "Doing the Certified Accounting Technician course has helped me greatly. It is usually found helpful as a bridge between O/L's and ACCA, but for me, I found it complementary while doing my A/L's.
CAT gave me an insight into the various fields that the Accounting profession branches out into. There was a mixture of Finance, Financial Management, Costing, Tax & Audit in the course, that motivated me into working hard - which paid off with 7 Sri Lankan prizes out of the 9 subjects.
CAT is easy, yet challenging fulfilling and rewarding. Moreover, it prepared me to continue onto the 2nd stage of ACCA, being exempted from the 1st stage.
I feel grateful to the individuals who pointed we in this direction of doing CAT, to fulfill my ambition in Accountancy. - Mariam Riza
