ICAP humiliating itself

[sumairalam]

I am very much astonished to see the email from MasudCA, really before joining this forum I never thought that there is so much conflict between ACCA or CA(ICAP) . I know many of us traveled or lived outside Pakistan , and they know that all professionals respect each others whether they are from Arab Association/ ACCA/ICAP or ICAEW.

For most of the new comers of this forum , I assure you that ICAP qualification is acceptable throughout the world and you will treat as a professional accountants at par with any other member from any Institute.

Only question is acceptance of your ICAP certificate by other institutes like CICA or ACCA or ICAEW, every institute has its own criteria and so as ICAP.

Its upto the student to chose the institute depending on his future plans , funds availability etc. And for getting the detailed guidance we can all refer to the posts made by Mr. Khalid or Mr. Kamran



I will share my personal experience , when i tried to enrolled in CPA program I came to know that they require 150/120 credit hours. ( normally for Pakistani applicant it is Masters from any recognized university) but at that time I didnt have even Bachelors degree . I sent the documents for evaluation on the basis of my BAC credit hour certificate and they accept it.


I am proud to attach with ICAP and have very much regards to ACCA for their betterment for the accounting / finance profession.

This post is getting longer but one think I must say to the students go for the best possible education according to each individual circumstances , but if chance arises for getting membership of other institutes get it also. It will not only increase your confidence but also your worth.

Best of Luck!
