global or UK variant? - Salmancert - 06-27-2006
AOA all,
yesterday when I was buying books for my ACCA part 2 the shopkeeper at waheed book depot(lahore) gave me the UK law variant of 2.2. when I demanded it in global variant he suggested me that most of the candidates took UK variant and global variant is not much recognized? by the way I bought the book but now I am worried abt its value. is it true what he was saying.? what are the advanteges and drawbacks of choosing UK over global. please provide me with detailed infoprmation ASAP. I shall bethankful to you.

I have also chosen UK variant & Internation stream.
They were suggested by SKANS Islamabad teachers.

Law and Tax, in this case u have to make selection between these two, UK or PK, there is no international variant for law and tax...I dont know what difference creats 2.2, but 2.3 Pk Taxtion doesn't seems to be a good option coz in Part three the Tax paper is available only as a UK variant...

There is basically no much difference in terms of market value. But if you have taken UK law variant book then be careful not to buy 2.3 pak, coz u can follow only one stream. Its just that UK law variant is in UK perspective whereas global variant tries to be as much global as possible.
No worries,,,,no one in the market asks about that.
In practical life, tax & law knowledge will be used frequently, so if you intend to settle in the uk, then go for uk variant. If anywhere else then use international variant but its syallabus emphasis is on general things rather than country specific. So it wont be that much helpful in practical life. & about PK variant, its quite tough so better not chose it.
Conlcusion You can opt any variant btw UK & Global, the result in practical market will be same coz no one serves for the Pak market.
