Even though I personally ignore such kind of useless debates, but I want to make some clarifications to Mr. Amir.
At one side you agree that CA (ICAP)students are more hard working than ACCA, yet you are not willing to put a premium on their hard work by saying doing CA after ACCA is just like a Matriculation after Inter. For you, the extra effort does not mean anything. Mate the difference is highlighted once you come to practice .
CA reigns supreme not only in Pakistan but also in UK itself, the breeding ground for ACCAs. Just check how much of FTSE 100 companies Finance Directors are ACCA's ...very few...the wide majority are ACAs from ICAEW. How many of the ACCA affiliates are hired by Big Four? They still prefer CAs' over ACCAs. Can you tell us why despite the fact that you can find thousands of ACCA's in UK, the big Four (EY London) is hiring Pakistani CA's.
Please note , this is not to undermine the ACCA's or any person in particular, the sole purpose is just to remove some misconceptions about CA.
Regards,
