I beleive that decision of ICAP for taking back the exemption is not correct as it spoil our reputation in international market.
If ICAP dont want to continue with exemption policy, they should not allowed it in first place.
The intent is clear - in my views ICAP is scared of more ACCA's in the market getting CA certificate by giving only two papers. ICAP result policy is ambigious from the begining. You cant be sure of your result unless you get it no matter how well you have done in your exam. The result policy is in air and not adopted by any reputed organization in the world. Students dont know the passing criteria.
I accept that doing ACCA is much easier than that of doing CA as you have to gain 50% to pass the exam. Infact you can do so by reading the study material carefully. In contary, ICAP exam is not a piece of cake.
But if ICAP exam and result criteria is difficult, why our qualified CA's are not given priority over ACCA in Middle East. I possess both CA and ACCA certificates. But my employer give more worth to ACCA than CA.
Conclusion - ICAP should be very careful for making decisions. The professional attitute does not allow to take back your decisions without logical reasons.
