Dear Kamran Bhai,
The professional i mentioned is really a well-known person in the field, especially in tax(you might have heard his name too), but i won't disclose the name due to privacy
He is NOT an ACCA but ICAP member. Why would such a prestige person answer in favour of ACCA if it's not the fact? Due to his position, i believe he is the only person who could really compare the EXAMINING level of both the institutions with impartialness. I asked him what you had said(ACCAs need support of ICAP) and he answered, "It is in a sense true that in audit firms there are ACAs and FCAs sitting in senior positions who think ACCA is nothing". Is that sort of behaviour justified? I mean it is just not fair
There are some PpL out here who have a blind and unjustified belief that ACCA is just nothing compared to ICAP in terms of syllabus, knowledge, application, analysis, interpretation, examining level etc etc. They think ACCA hardly equals to B.Com and other incomparable degrees (i am sure you know who they are). The purpose of my post was to reduce the so-many wrong perceptions about ACCA in Pakistan, and not create controversies. I respect ICAP, it's students and members as much as i respect ACCA and other institutes
