<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial" id="quote">quote<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">I almost had a fit of laughter when I read your post, though I understand that the thread has actually progressed from the discussion about the degrees to the skills involved which is a good thing. You meant to imply that a CA had passed his exam through 'ratta' and therefore would be just a 'clerk' out on his job... I suggest you read these lines again to make some sense, you mean to imply that an ACCA and ACA who have had similar experience would not necessarily have acquired the same core skills ?? it sounds pathetic and funny. I am not going to take you to task on this since I realise you are wet behind the ears and have virtually no idea what practical work is.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">
Oh! come on pracs. According to my knowledge, after seeing there final module papers and standard of question set, I can only say that these are ratta based questions. However, If you don't believe, go to the ACCA website download some part 3 past papers and compare them with the CA papers. I have seen 3.1 paper of ACCA and "advanced auditing" paper of CA, now, I challenge you no CA can solve this paper only for 50 marks but I assure you every ACCA who has passed this paper will solve CA paper for 70 marks easily. Go check it. Knowledge is the base of practice. The more the quality knowledge, the more better the practice will be.

Companies are hiring ACCA at the offset for now because they are getting similar skills at a lower cost ! that is about it. This may change in some years when ACCAs in Pakistan get on to mid management level and the market has matured a little. I as an employer would definately higher an ACCA who's trained from a Big4 comapred to say a CA from a one parter firm. But that is all,. The quality of CAs is not dwindling at all, ICAP's made that sure (even if its through rather darconian and competitive policies)<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">
Well, well, well, at least you agree somehow. I acknowledge quality of CAs is not dwindling, because why, they have such quality from beginning, because why, they have had no such competition before ACCA.
It was there quality and will be but there is no competition of quality education between CA and ACCA.

Do CAs work for government sector at all? there are very few, again you need to do more of research before you start doling out advice here. You could have said that the traditional business sector still prefers CAs compared to MNCs, though I am not sure if that is true any longer.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">
I know there are very few CAs but there are. You shouldn't ignore the word "if" which means the choice which may be majority or minority.
Finally, I wouldn't be posting for at least 23 days because I have to do some real exam practice and go outside my place as well. So, don't expect any response from me for that limit. Ok...
