hmm hmm, well CAs and ACCAs are accountants no doubt about that, infact a little more than that,. Finance professionals,. its no fete to be a 'branch manager' (I will leave that to the MBAs and all),. The grade CAs are in banks is most of the times equal to or higher than branch managers,. its usually a corporate title like 'Assistant Vice President' etc.
Now Country Manager is the top notch slot,, and again depends what kind of exposure and expertise a person has developed, I have known in my short professional experience CAs and CPAs and ACCAs holding those position in different companies and banks.
Although there are no hard and fast rules,.. alot depends on what kind of experience you have got. Unfortunately in Pakistan, MBA has just become another degree.... in western contries it is more of a 'cap' to an existing professional degree and is usually done after a couple of years in a managerial position.
