Hi Zahid,
Thanks for your contribution. You are very right that this is also the case with ICAP. You also referred that there were only 10 students who got through the final exam of ICMAP. Please note that there might be hundreds of students (because of accumulation over many years) who wrote the final exam. ICMAP never discloses (or I donât know at least) that how many students participated and what is the passing rate at each level. If you see the result carefully the number of students at initial level is much higher than at the final stages. If the passing rate is not good at initial level, it makes sense to me that the study at B.Com level is very poor so more students donât get through. If more students are failing at higher stage, it means that study at initial level of ICMAP is not equipping students with required skills. This is a flaw in study program.
The flip side of the discussion is that our students are not capable and they donât study properly. They donât attain the high standards of ICMAP. At least I donât accept this logic because the same kind a student gets through in CIMA, ACCA, ICAEW which are worldâs most reputed institutions and set educational standards.
ICMAP members also claims to be worldâs best institution in accounting but when we see the research side of the ICMAP we find material of ACCA as someone referred somewhere on this forum. It looks that we are watching CNN on Fox TV.
If you see the mission statement of ICMAP which is as follows
âTo develop strategic leaders through imparting quality education and training in Management Accounting, to continually <b>set and upgrade professional standards and to conduct research</b>, ringing value-addition to the economy.â
I last 60 years how many standards ICMAP issued/set? You would be surprised to see that ICMPA paid Re. 0.00 to researchers in the last year financials. You can understand the valued of free research?
I donât know but there is something wrong somewhere for which I need help to understand.
Regards,
