hi,

i am bit confused with PA certification.

If its related to Finance then I guess its Profitability Analysis.

now PA is just a part of CO and not a complete CO certification as it doesnt covers all the topics which are related to CO.

basically it covers all the profit related activities in an organization ie it contains all of the costs, revenues and quantities pertaining to Profitability Analysis which are retrieved from income and other cost components from various dept units like customer service, org units, etc.

so generally its related with the Finance dept.

actually frankly speaking there are generally very few people who know CO most of the guys have done FI modules... so in that you can get an edge. so in this case if you go for CO certification then it would add another accolade

if its related to HR then it will be Personnel Administration :

in this too PA doesnt cover the entire HR part. since the HR mainly focuses on 4 aspects : Payroll, Personnel Development, Personnel Admin, Org Structure.

so overall you can say its just a part of the bigger picture... it would be better if you get enroll for the complete certification like SAP CO or FI or HR to develop more understanding on this field.

i mostly think that its related to FI

hope this will surely help you!!

thanks & regards,
