ACCA vs CA

[smraza]

Dear Azeem,
<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial" id=quote>quote<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>let me start again with my very first point that one CANNOT compare prof qulifications. after refering to ur response i would conclude that U dont even recognise the diff b/w a prof qualification and Uni degrees (MBAs), let me quote urself for a second

"EVERY BODY compares professional qualifications even same qualifications from different institutions"

above is not possible in any prof CHARTERED accountancy body.

I will disagree with your point of view that u cannot compare prof. qualifications,
Every body makes comparison b/w the professional qualifications,
It seems that u are an ACCA, may i ask why did u choose the ACCA??
did u hear about the ACCA and got into it directly????? surely not,
u must have compared the different qualifications which u were going to choose for ur career, even before getting into the CA, I myself compared different qualifications (even i compared MBA fin. with CA) and discussed with my seniors that which qualification should i select for myself.

Now how do we make comparison????? the first thing which we all think is the monetary benefit which we will be getting from a particular qualification, Secondly we think of the difficulty in passing the exams of that qualification, and so on....

Dear azeem, u live in UK, and u think about UK's environment, ACCAs carry worth all over the world, but as far as pakistan is concerned they dont have the worth in front of CAs. there are so many reasons for that which have already been discussed in the forum.

ACCAs will take time to compete with CAs in Pakistan, but currently ICAP's monopoly rules over the Pakistan, which is expected to continue in the future, so beware of ICAP's policies when u will come back.

Regards.
