Rabia,
You are incurable I guess. The facts posted by Khalid could be analysed by any one. Yes he may be better for your understanding level. In your age such thing which he use to do are felt quite attractive.
ICAP is not a company to open its offices every where. It's a localized authorized body and this is what you cannot understand. It's beyond your perception. I explained here that such bodies have to be localized for so many reasons which some other fellows also tried to clarify. There are certain firms run by ICAP members abroad, as have been pointed out by Pracs, go to his post and read it out. However, just for your knowledge I let you know one firm at UAE (may be at your nearby location), i.e. Messsrs Sajjad Haider and Company, a member of Nexia International. You can go on net to find out Nexia International's worldwide ranking, as an association of independent firms.
Why this question was raised for ACCA particularly, was due to repeated claims of being internationally recognized made by some ACCAs. You could be recognized but you are not the leaders at all such locations even if we ignore UK where you are also just in competition. I wonder why some people feel so proud of having recognition although this could not so far make them leaders in the profession any where particularly. What this recognition has worked so far? Those two firms figured out by Khalid? This sounds a joke. To elaborate this fact was the purpose of such question.
If you are so recognized then where are you in profession when we consider you in your sole capacity? Answer is still awaited with any analysis of clients portfolio, market share, grip on framing out of national policies and professional existence.
I donât hope to see you coming up with anything concrete.
Regards,
KAMRAN.
