I know you didnt ask for my advice but what the heck i am gonna give it to you anyways. To tell u the truth there is not that big a market for MBA's now in Pakistan. The bubble has bursted. People saw it as a money making field a couple of decades ago but nowadays I've seen MBA's working for as low as Rs.5,000. The market for ACCA is also not that huge with many large companies not having a clue as to what it is (although ACCA has gained recognition amongst companies such as PSO, Unilever, ICI, Caltex and Orix). Therefore, it wont be much of a point for you having ACCA as well as MBA as the Pakistani market is still dominated by CA's. My advice to you would be to stay in England and after the completion of ACCA go for ICAEW. Moreover, the OBU degree in Applied Accounting is not even recognized here.
Best of Luck
