ICAP humiliating itself

[kamranACA]

Dear Khalid,

I wonder how to comment on your skills to prioritise and analyze the issues. Please don't take it offencive but I could not help laughing on seeing your above effort.

Certainly every one needs visa, work permits etc and has to comply the basic requirements of a country for exactly suiting in a given environment. What a great point you made buddy. This in fact has nothing to do with what I posted as a result of my discussion with some official of ICAP. Now, it has come up with all the required clarity that what makes you to blame ICAP and Pakistan. In fact you are unable to understand the basics and you mix up irrelavant things to make a point against other institutes and specially against Pakistan.

Full membership rights including permission to practice audit no where mentions that one will be absolved of complying all the associated or other legal and statutory requirements of a given location. Did I say it in my previous post? Did I say, the ICAP official has said something like that? Full membership rights meant, to my understanding, that one would be permitted to get into audit practice under "ICAEW's licensing/certificate/regulation" subject to other requirements like, work permit, visa, citizenship etc which are always there irrespective of whatever country we may talk about.

This is an initial response to your cute analysis given in second last post, however, I will sort out some time to compare both MOUs in detail and would come back with detailed findings.

Varaiation of rights and different membership classes of same institutes can be seen in so many other cases and this is not something out of this world or something specific to Pakistan. If you fail to find out examples, let me know, I will hopefully inform you some examples. However, in Pakistan such restricted membership rights are also available for ICAEW members. They can become ICAP's member without going for any test or training but they can't get into public practice of audit. For doing so they have to qualify the required exam. You should try to understand it.

There is also a need to mention that we should not debate on comparison of countries since this discussion does not revolve against such issue. If we will go on to compare nations, countries, people and so on, there would be a mess around. You know everything exists every where.

I will come back after studying the MOUs at my own in detail.

In response to your other post, I must say that no reply has so far come specific to the question. The other things have been elaborated, to which I agree, and those things are common for so many other qualifications and do not specifically depict any superiority or merit of ACCA over others at all. I wish we should not repeat same things and accept what is real.


Regards,


KAMRAN.
