Hi
I am not trying to say that ACA(PK) are inferior than any other accouancy institute neither i am saying that ICAP members do not have any knowledge. Yes I agree with you that the only reason ICAP is not recongined outside the Pakistan because ICAP is third world institute.
But can you see how ICAP and its member behaves. Have you seen ICAP policies?. ICAP is asking graduates to take PPT and pass if they wants to have admission, What its mean, its means that ICAP itself does not recognise her own country universities. Supereme court of America gave decison in 1960's that for admissions and for employment no appitute tests can be taken, it thwy would be taken they would not have any legal status.
According to my information ICAP re**** never ever be in double figures, where ACCA result is always more than 30% and ICAEW result is always 70%. What ICAP is trying to prove that students who done graduation from pakistani universities do not have any knowledge.
when ACCA introduce herself in pakistan in about 1993 0r 1995, ICAP used give exemption to ACCA afflicate (not ACCA members) 13 papers out of 16 (you must know it) y ICAP does not give any exemptions to ACCA, the reason is that, if ICAP give same number of exemtion to ACCA as it did before no one will go for ACA (PK) cause ICAP does fail students purposely (U must know it). Here in UK, ACCA and ICAEW are alomost same with same salary level, Y ICAP recognised ICAEW, cause ICAP knows that it very hard for overseas graduate to secure training contract with CA firms leading to ICAEW examinations. can you see my point.
Once again I am not saying ACA(PK) is not good qualification, I know about 50 to 60 ICAP member works in big 4 firms in UK. I am just critising ICAP policies.
One more thing, if ICAP says she does not give exemptions to ACCA cause ACCA does not gice exemption to ICAP members, ok its fair enough. One the other hands y ICAP recognised ICAEW, ICAS, ICAI, ICAA, CICA where none to these five insitute recognised ICAP.
I agree we as a pakistani should promote our own qualificatios, but can you see ICAP dual policies.
I hope you understood my point. At the end i do apologise if I have written anything which hurt anyone.
Kind Regards
