<br />I don't know why people are wasting time by repeating the same things times and again. Things may sound better on paper but realities very often teach an altogether different lesson. Someone here is claiming the acceptability of ACCA in UK, EU and Middle East. As we are from Pakistan we should only be concerned about the prospects Pakistani professionals. In UK and EU there was no or only little place for Pakistani ACCAs even before the recession, and now a days anyone can imagine. The place left for our ACCAs in this situation is only Gulf (not that much affected by the global recession). The worth of ACCAs who have practical training from Big 4 is no doubt there however that primarily is for the practical exposure they had, and ACCAs without adequate practical exposure barely fall in the salary range as I mentioned in my last post. Someone rightly mentioned that job advertisement of accounts professional in Gulf specifically mentions Pakistani or Indians, this is for the reason that no one from the developed world will be satisfied by the salary package offered.
Someone on this forum mentioned that you walk down the road and more than half of students you meet are doing ACCA. Isn't it an eyeopener, when ACCA affiliates and members will be present in market with such abundance what will be the success prospects then. About markets other than Gulf our nationality comes first than our qualification so they will never prove to be good job markets for our ACCAs. As far as Gulf market is concerned how many of us it can absorb, and their are a whole lot of Indians already there. I'm not very very hopeful about the prospects of our dear ACCAs. I further believe as I have mentioned over a number of places at this forum that their large quantity has also made life tougher for part qualified CAs.
I'm never trying to prove that ACCA is a useless qualification, instead what I mean is that considering ACCA as a final qualification will be similar to fooling oneself. ACCA can prove to a better route for starting ICAP CA, as it is in my opinion is easier than CA Inter. The main negative point about this route may be that ACCAs may face a bit difficulty in passing ICAP final stages as compared to CA Inters, however, hardwork can be a solution here.

Brother agar kisi k easy route use hi kerna hai to get ICAP membership after ACCA , then he should opt for ICAEW.Just pass final 3 ICAEW papers(and experience as well) and get ICAP membership without passing a single ICAP paper(Tax and Law papers r required only when u need public practice rights).Is tarah ACCAs final ICAP papers ki SO-CALLED difficulty say bach jaen gay.
