Dear rabia-k
I never faced such a problem which you are facing as I studied all of my ACCA exams in London and in UK ACCA and ICAEW are equal.You may not know but in EU institutes are working towards a single qualification and there is very high chance that in comming yrs there will be one main accountancy institutes in EU, but this thing will take time.
I will advise all ACCA students whenever you talk to ICAP people talk with facts and figures and mentioned terms of MOU [in reference ti ICAI(India)] which ICAP signed with ICAEW to show ICAP its standing in world.
As far as your cousin is concerned ask him to read this thread from the begining and he will know standing to ICAP in the world. No one needs to prove ICAP wrong, time is proving ICAP wrong.
I do not know about ICAP,but ACCA is much more than just auditing. May be ICAP members are just Auditors in Pakistan.
I spoke to ICAEW yesterday and they say there is very high chance
that ICAEW will conduct its professional stage examiantions in Pakistan. If it will happen then you will see ICAP psoition. Anyway in Middle east ICAEW full programme is avaialble and you can start ICAEW from the start in Middle East.
Dear ICAEW students.
I confirmed with ICAEW that Someone who is over 25 yrs old with 7 yrs accountancy experience is eligible to register with ICAEW as a mature student. Mature student does not need any qualification.
Mature students require 3 yrs of training (articleship). it is comfirmed by ICAEW.
