Dear Astute Accountant,
ACCA if allowed to be placed on government jobs, is a good news for you guys. We should hope that as the country would progress, more and more vacancies would be available for various qualified people.
In my view, it is good for you to have such oppurtunities. ACCAs should come forward and make their places in the economy.
As far as matter of double standards is concerned, it is not the double standard my dear. Every country gives preference to its own resources and products. Similar policies ICEAW has for CAs of other institutes. There might be influence of ACCA to regularize such policies anywhere in the world which I dont know and even dont want to know becoz i am least concerned. At such places ACCA might be doing as it likes. You can see the matter of exemptions and so many others. Every one has a prerogative to save himself against any unforeseen things. ICAP being the institute chartered by government of Pakistan, has the right to regularize in the manner and style it thinks appropriate.
By the passage of time and by virtue of increased qualified ACCAs, it might one day get further improved recognition in Pakistan. Therefore ACCA people should work hard and try to expand their base. I think the major reason of lesser preference of ACCA is lack of practical knowledge and relevant exposure.
You guys, in Pakistan, have to learn all this from CAs. This is your limitation. Every industry has varying levels of internal controls having diversified set-ups and facets. Knowledge of business and processes is must to run an industry. How can we talk about business process re-enginerring, if we simply dont know what exactly the process is. Even in profession, if you dont have exposure, you cant succeed. This all comes by the passage of time. Every one can learn it, i dont have any doubt. Every one can off course learn it. But in Pakistan learning this all is only resourced with ICAPIANs.
It will take some time when you people become a resource of knowledge and exposure.
My prayers are with you all.
Regards,
Kamran.
