Dear Amir,
In principle I agree to your proposition to ACCAs that they should make stringent efforts to srengthen their own structure as it is at the time being merely a company formed under section 42 of CO 84.
I also add that they should strive for improving their regulations (at the time being members are not properly regularized), regional specific curriculum, whereever required, if they wish to be in practice. Notwithstanding what is the level of their papers, they should revisit their evaluation and passing criteria, which is not as strict as it should be. I know so manys including you will not agree with my view but it is the point of difference to ensure the quality. It is always the point of difference every where.
Apart from these general issues which find their importance at student's basic development, the training regulations and arrangement of facilities, that make up the real professional development, should be the focal area of concern for ACCA in Pakistan. They should consider it and make some clear strategy. If I am not forbidden to say the truth, at the moment ACCA students have been thrown by ACCA on the disposal of CAs. It has nothing to do with any biases or other allegations on CAs generally imposed by ACCA students. You guys must locate your real problem area. Your association does not seem to be taking any big steps for the betterment of your future. If allegedly ICAP is not providing ACCAs expected exemptions or if their are training arrangment problems, these should be a concern for your association and it must do the needful to satisfy its affiliates / members / students.
In my view ACCA affiliates/ members/ students, should make proper recommendations to the Pakistan Chapter to take necessary steps. Further, I feel ACCA will take much time to get a place in the economy.
You have of course full right to disagree with whatever I mentioned above.
....[NOT FOR AMIR].....
In response to other dumb minded message,
I again wish to point out that the tiny thought does not get relieved from the issues of teaching, curriculum, paper setting etc etc. This was what I pointed out.
This could be an important area to the extent of our "compulsory studies" but when we talk in professional perspective, such experts do not appear to be in competition, at large. I don't debate on very rare cases which always exist in every field of life.
We are talking about typical cases and not for rare ones. If some one is not as per the general category it should be depicted from the character, which in this case I regrettfully say, seems to be missing.
I don't hope any dumb mind can understand it.
Regards,
KAMRAN.
