I refer to Mr.Surti's comments on my post, quoted by him.Unfortunately our professional bodies completely lack any semblance of transparency.Mr.Surti can easily establish during which presidents time ( President of ICAP) these exemptions were intially approved by the Council.The reasons for this were that the President's siblings were taking their CIMA examinations.Subsequently ICAP terminated these exemptions,only to extend their validity by one year due to pressure from the M/O Finance.One general's son was currently taking Module F of the ACCA examinations and to cater to him the entire policy was again reversed.Poor trainee's those who will complete their ACCA exams ,after years of hard work,only to find the their exemptions have once again vanished into thin air.
Wait for another VIP sibling...my fellow accountants.
Long live hypocrisy in the "land of the pure".
