Integration of degree programmes of LUMS and IBA with chartered accountancy is also a part of ICAP future action plan.
This will enable CA-inter students to obtain their degrees and also enable graduates of LUMS and IBA to join CA because they will get decent exemptions.
An extract from Council report 2010
âAt national level, the Institute has approached the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), the Institute of Business Administration (IBA), the University of Lahore and other universities with a good ranking from the Higher Education Commission (HEC) to permit credits in their graduate programmes to the CA Intermediate students, to enable them to obtain a graduation degree. The University of Lahore has launched a special degree programme for CA Intermediate students.We are also exploring the possibility of integration of degree programmes of LUMS and IBA with chartered accountancy. This integration can possibly be done by offering equivalencies to various papers of their degree programme vis-Ã -vis the papers of CA Intermediate.â
