1------ If a student has reached the professional stage after passing 3.2 whether he should opt for PKN stream or not.
-->> I think the PKN stream is available only for 2.2 (Corp and Business Law) and 2.3 (Business Taxation)... It is not available for 3.2 (Advanced Taxation)... So how would one opt for the PKN stream after 3.2?!!
2------ If a student joins PKN stream then what advantage will he get from the ICAP exemption.
-->> I dont think one would be getting more exemptions because the only tax exam an ACCA qualified has to sit for ICAP is Advanced Taxation (ICAP)... And ACCA hasn't yet introduced the 3.2 (Advanced Taxation) Pakistan variant.
But yes, ICAP may well exempt the Corporate Law exam currently in Module E. ACCA students should keep their fingers crossed, but for some reason, I don't see that happening.
3------ If a student proceeds with the same stream with no change then what will be the difference at the end of the game.Will a student will have an upper hand on UK stream students or an upper hand on PKN stream students.
-->> I don't think I have a rational answer for this question... It still would take minimum three more years to get a better picture whether employers in Pakistan prefer students with Pakistani variant.
