"any tom dick and harry can enter the ACCA without any testing."
i dont agree with you on this one. what i have seen here is that pakistani metric pass students are always put into CAT. i have rarely seen a pakistani metric pass student who has directly been enrolled into the ACCA. you have to be an O/A levels to register with the ACCA.
what really confuses me is when i see b.com and M.coms registering with ACCA and receiving the same sort of exemptions in ACCA i.e papers from papers F1 to F4. infact i have an MBA in my class who's only exempted from the first 4 papers.!!! eventhough the ACCA P level is considered to be equivalent to masters degree, to some extent.
i did rather say that any tom dick and harry can pass the ACCA, IF they work hard. you dont really need to be a genius to pass your ACCA papers. with a solid 5 hrs learning in a day, one can pull a rabbit out of the hat with the ACCA (Fudamental level)
still i see students taking 3 to 4 attempts to pass their papers, managing to scrap a 50 , 52 mark which is very low. its just unfair for students passing with 70%+ burning away the midnight oil, studying.
we also have an option to choose P4. this subject is so very essential for any would be accountant, i mean how can any1 just bypass this paper? but there are students who DO skip this paper.
middle east is a huge market for ACCAs, BUT you also have a huge ever growing no. of ACCA students studying, living amd working here. leave alone the other countries, there are several students already studying for the ACCA here and also working in firms. our institute is a gold approved ACCA tuition provider, fully managed and owned by indians except for the ACCA department. we have ACCA tutors from Pakistan . they come here, teach for 4 or 6 months and then return back to pakistan. not everyone is lucky to get a job in firms here. the truth is that there are just too many and too few jobs, WORRY!!
