Dears,
How insecurity speaks could be seen here on this thread. People base all the conclusions on so called rumours. It's non professional in my view.
I think firms should not reduce the stipend rates without any reason and in my view the person who joins a firm should get stipend from the day one. There is no two opinion to that extent.
However, again what we saw here is an illogical insecure feeling while alleging it to others simply based upon a rumour. Normally no one knows the origin of rumours and some one very wisely said that the rumour should be taken as spreaded by the person who conveys it. He may be wrong in saying so, however.
In fact our ACCAs don't realise that any thing detrimental to their interests should be taken care of by their ACCA chapter. This is in fact not a responsibility of ICAP members. I wonder why quite reasonable people always forget this very fact and start expressing their complexes by putting the responsibility on the shoulders of ICAP. Just for the knowledge of ACCA students I tell them the stipend rate required to be paid by a Gold category CA firm to ACCA trainees (part qualified) is Rupees 5,000/- only. For affiliates it is equal to CA Inter trainee. Mind it, this rate is fixed by ACCA chapter for one of the best category firm i.e. gold category. In fact ACCA chapter negotiate such rates on firm to firm basis and I am quoting one example where firm falls in gold category. Now keeping this in view, if you have seen the instances of a higher stipend, as expressed in above post, this should not be treated like anything but a good professional gesture of CA firms.
I agree that if some one has the abilities and is a qualified person, he should be paid. Now how we may compare CA Intermediate students and ACCAs is another story to which I am not concentrating. There could be hundred issues if we go in detail and every one should accept that personal cabailities can vary from person to person.
I therefore request the ACCAs that whenever they see some injustice or wrong doings they should contact their Chapter instead of basing the conclusions on rumours and getting dishearted for insignificant issues. Further, it may not be a professional way to affix one's own responsibility to others.
Ready to face criticism.

KAMRAN.
