Hello
With less than 4,000 members ICAP should be trying to increase its membership. Keeping such a tight control over the number of students passing may have been acceptable in the old feudal days, where the powerful could oppress the poor by denying them education.
Higher membership would increase the level of accountancy within the country and get rid of the manual accounting done by the owner of his business.
Hence I think that the exemption policy should be liberal. And the exam results / work experince taken into account as well for ACCA members.
Anyway, the ACCA exams are not any easier than ICAP's. Just the approach by the boards are different.
