<br />Hi
I am from London and ACCA qualified.
I read that some of the ppl are interested ICAEW after ACCA,whereas others are comapring ACCA(UK) with ACA(PK) and saying ACA is better than ACCA.
If ACA(PK) is better than ACCA then Y ACCA is recongised in 80 countries of the world including all in EU, Australia, NEW Zealand, Zimbabwe, South Aferica etc. On the other hands ACA(Pk) is only recognised in Pakistan.
If anyone can answer me y ACCA is recognised in 80 countries of the world and y ICAP is not, I will accept ACA (PK) is better than ACCA.
I have not understood ICAP policy, CPA(USA) is highly respectable qualification and recectly eight institutes of the world has formed GAA including CAP(USA), ICAEW, ICAI, ICAS, ICAA etc.
According to ICAP, ICAEW is a wonderful institutes with very high std. ICAEW recognised CAP(USA) then Y ICAP not. I may conclude that ICAP does what she wants to do.
Could anything let me know about ICAP marking guide and how much marks an individuals has to pass a paper.
ICAEW like ACCA awards pass in individual papers and not in whole of modules like ICAP. Sorry to say by employing this policy ICAP is not producing quality, the purpose of this policy is to pass only that much students who are required in market.
When you judge some qualification std then normally that qualification recoginition in the world is taken into account and not their monololist policies.

Khalid I am sorry to say that you are doing exactly what NASCAR and other people were doing slandaring. As an ICAP member (and ACCA) I would like to say that just because ICAP is a local institute in no way are its accountant inferior to any one be it ACCA or ICAEW, infact ICAP continues to attract the best minds in the country ! and with top notch Audit training they are undoubtdly a step ahead of their peers (note I am not slandering any other qualification here), just saying that as a general statement. Ofcourse an ACCA,ACMA,CIMA with similar experience is in no way not equal.
As far as acceptability is concerned ICAP is acceptable the world over (more so because of a world wide demand in the profession)and over 30% of its members are actually abroad, in middle east, South Africa, UK, US, Australia, the carribean, Luxemborg, Canada,etc.
I am just trying to emphasise that professional qualifications are simply a key to enter the door,.. you do need to move your two feet to walk. Its quite imature to 'stereo type'any professional qualification.
