<br /> Finding a job for ACCA is also not difficult so far. What you think the company will prefer if they have both ACCA and CA doing the same job, while ACCA is productive, flexible and having great analysis and reporting for the company and CA is very much inclined to his work with old inflexible techniques and "ratta" work. Yes, they will hire CA in first ranks but after that when they will find that ACCA is more flexible, suitable and best analyst of the company's policies and plans, who they will promote. Of course, ACCA and it is happening.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">
I almost had a fit of laughter when I read your post, though I understand that the thread has actually progressed from the discussion about the degrees to the skills involved which is a good thing. You meant to imply that a CA had passed his exam through 'ratta' and therefore would be just a 'clerk' out on his job... I suggest you read these lines again to make some sense, you mean to imply that an ACCA and ACA who have had similar experience would not necessarily have acquired the same core skills ?? it sounds pathetic and funny. I am not going to take you to task on this since I realise you are wet behind the ears and have virtually no idea what practical work is.

Companies are hiring ACCA at the offset for now because they are getting similar skills at a lower cost ! that is about it. This may change in some years when ACCAs in Pakistan get on to mid management level and the market has matured a little. I as an employer would definately higher an ACCA who's trained from a Big4 comapred to say a CA from a one parter firm. But that is all,. The quality of CAs is not dwindling at all, ICAP's made that sure (even if its through rather darconian and competitive policies)

At last, I would suggest you to go for CA if you want to have a job in government sector. Yes, because they never care what you have. They only see what you are.

Do CAs work for government sector at all? there are very few, again you need to do more of research before you start doling out advice here. You could have said that the traditional business sector still prefers CAs compared to MNCs, though I am not sure if that is true any longer.
