Why on earth, Pakistani Chartered Accountants never think to conduct any research of their own instead of doing "Makkhi-Pe-Makkhi-Maro"? Pakistani Scientists, Economists, Doctors & Engineers have done much on International level but I never heard of any Pakistani Chartered Accountant achieved any International landmark. Sadly, they haven't been able to design a comprehensive "Tax Return Form" that may not need changes every year!!! Shouldn't ICAP pay a little attention towards this matter? Shouldn't beyond a specific period of practice, CPE credit be only on the basis of Research work? Can't ICAP start any programme to persuade research in the field? How long should it remain like this? You must have heard that "Why the Auditor crossed the road?... Because last year it was done so, and it was written in the file." So, should we keep on crossing the road... forever??
