ACCA's will have difficulty in joining a firm now - affiliate - 05-27-2011
Students who have not claimed the exemption till Module D now what should they do? its a very wrong move by ICAP encouraging people to do CA. Now no one will do ACCA if they want to go in a firm
Well in my opinion ACCA is much much better and ICAP is just jealous..ACCA is a professional qualification and we cover more syllabus than theirs combined..Now they have started the 15 minutes reading time just copying ACCA..

Both are professional organizations and both have there own strict policies. As regards joining of a firm, it has always been very hard as no one monitors the Audit firms in Pakistan. A Ca trainee needs to have a strong reference and same goes for ACCA trainees. We did not prefer ACCA guys because those guys would quit in middle cause they always got good jobs in commercial sector that also served their training requirements. ICAP failed to keep coordination with other professional organizations thats why ICAP guys suffer a lot when they try their luck abroad. Seriously, guys having simple qualifications were preferred abroad. That's also a reality. As regards copying ACCA and other crap that you've written, its not true. ICAP is simply facilitating its students. As regards syllabus, its the same for ICAP and ACCA, though ACCA is more vibrant and in line with modern trends.
