<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">
CPA (I think u r talking about US) has just 4 papers.Their basic requirement is 150 credit hours degree(some states accept 120 CH).It would not be practicable here as there r very few Pakistani who have honours degree and wish to start CA.Majority of the ICAP students come after Inter/graduate(Bcom).
Another reason could be that CPA hasn't have fully adopted IFRS yet.They r still using local US standards.It would be a hurdle as ICAP use IFRS.ICAP came into being with the help of CICA(Canada) but CICA has similar structure a degree then very few exams(vary from province to province in Canada) so it would also be impracticable.
