If you wish to move abroad and carry on with your education there ACCA Membership status may help you, as that is recognised in the UK and now in Pakistan as a Masters equivalent. On the other hand if you think you have no chance of coming back to a field where you might have to study more, or you may not need those four letters i.e. ACCA in front of your name, then its quite useless paying those annual subscription fees.
