And i left the argument to save this thread.

You will find ICAPians from both worlds. Those who have qualified and praise the body and a huge number of semi-qualified saying all the bad things about it. I am afraid you are arguing with the wrong person. He will always be loyal to ICAP just like me or you are to ACCA. Find someone who could not qualify and he would agree to everything you said. Same goes for ACCA as well.

Somtimes your posts give a feel of an aspiring CA student rather than a qualified CA professional.

Now about ACCA Pakistan's story, why would ACCA take its decisions bona-fide in the interest of Pakistanis? ACCA has always been poor at negotiation of MRA. In Australia, ACCA had presence before CIMA emerged there. ACCA was at better position to negotiate MRA. But always ACCA want to create competition with local bodies rather then working with those local bodies. Now CIMA is well recognized in Australia ,and ACCA is partially recognized. Don't know how ACCA thinks of such dream and make its members believe that such dream will come true?

Hold your horses my friend. As an ACCA member i am all set to give the remaining 3/4 CIMA exams. Based on CIMA, i could consider Aus CPA. ICAEW will come my way in next 5 years anyhow. I might as well move to Canada and see what CGA has to offer. And all of this can happen because no body is gona raise barriers for me.
I don't think ACCA wants to compete with any local body. It has already beaten the local body of the country its based in. Read ACCAs press releases and magazines to get a true outlook of the worlds largest accountancy body.
I agree that in the past 2 years ACCA's MRA/MOU has not shown great progress. However, the exemption remains. Of course, ICAP exemptions is a different case altogether. Frankly 90% of all world ACCAs don't care much about ICAP. I wonder if they even know what ICAP is.
99% of the qualifications gives more or less same exemptions to other professionals including ICAP. For e.g. in IIA's CIA 4th part is exempt for everyone no matter what or where.
I have already mentioned before that ICAP enjoys supremacy in Pakistan and <b>rightly so</b>. Every local body enjoys supremacy in its jurisdiction. As soon as competition goes international fair play comes into play. ACCAs are lions in UK signing stautory audit reports. Just like ICAPians are in Pak.
