<br />Hi guys,
I have been reading a lot about articles from Big 4 firms on this forum. I understand that to get articles here in Pakistan you need to be at least CA Inter or ACCA affiliate to be considered by Big 4 (based in Lahore).
I've returned recently from the UK where I did my bachelors (BSc Hons Business Management and Accounting). I got a 21 in that (equivalent to B) and at school level I have done O-levels and A-levels (took Accounting in both). I have passed 5 papers of ACCA (F1, F2, F3, F5 and F8) and will be passing remaining fundamental level papers in the June 2009 attempt.
In the UK the standard for entry as trainee into any of the big firms is a minimum of 21 in a bachelors degree which is what I have currently. What I would like to know is whether my application would be entertained by the Big 4 here in Lahore on the basis of my graduation from a UK university and how likely I am to get in.

and as far as your application is concerned graduates can begin their articleships with firms, as per icap guidlines, but as far as i know big 4 firms dont induct som1 having less than ca-inter or atleast fresh mfc having attempted mod-d papers, that's in khi, what the scene in lhr, i ve no idea but it ll b same with some variation evrywhere in pakistan, and as for acca's they r inducted for related advisory services mainly, because there r so many applicants having ca background they dont have enough room 4 acca's in audit services. wish ll help u to some extent[)]
