hi

my advice would be to complete cat as there will be 4 papers (you'll have to give 3 anyways of part i if you transfer right now)
the reason i am advising you to complete cat is because no matter how worthless CAT is in Pakistan, in an international context, it at least adds something to your profile, where as part-i wont add anything special or different to your profile. so complete your cat and then claim exemption from part I.

adios

Your transfer depends upon the situation
- CAT papers left
- Your age
- Understanding of basics of the field
- couple of more factors

- CAT papers left are if less i.e 2/3 then go for it. It would help you alot in ACCA.. you would not only gain exemptions from F1F2&F3 but F6taxation F8audit and assurance and F9financial management will be easier depending on your combination of CAT optional papers.

-Your age
if you are below 19 then it's preferable doing CAT as you will have a certificate at 19 or earlier..

-if you already have understanding of accounting audit and finance then get yourself transferred.. if not then CAT can groom you very well.

-other factors
other factors may be like getting in job earlier or getting certified sooner etc..

Anyways.. it depends upon you where you see yourself..
i would recommend completing CAT .
and then planning for ACCA or ICA-EW.

I Agree with Ali... As u would have the BASIC knowledge for the Accounting, this will contribute to a lower level TENSION when preparing for ur More Advance(ACCA) but comparatively easy(As U would have learned in CAT) Exams...
Good Luck for u...
