<br />Dear Pracs
I agree with you, but in Pakistan this does not apply. In Pakistan first qualification brand is considered then experience and you have to accept this. Only becasuse of this reason you see in Pakistan number of qualification after one name, for example, Mr XYZ, ACA, ACA(ICAEW), CIMA, CFA, MBA etc. Unfortunately its fact in Pakistan. you have you agree with it. By no means I oppsoe your statement. i completely agree with you.
Dear Toronto_Boy

But because in the initial run brands are important in Pakistan (ICAP) as in other places UK (ICAEW) I advised in one of my earlier posts that if time and money permits, one should go for ICAP (with big4.
Just to point out ICAI (Ireland) is not a UK qualification, it is the national qualification of Republic of Ireland (and not Northern Ireland)
