salaam all,
dear mr. amjad_736, i feel tht ur interest in CA n ur graduation in banking n finance r not in harmony. i mean tht ur interest is in CA. u shud ve joined ICAP for CA or ACCA. i feel tht CA is best utilized in corporate sector. in banking sector, CAs/ACCAs r mostly rerlated with internal audits, taxation n other rerlated aspects of banking-business, but NOT in the <b>core banking operations</b>. eg, u will not find CAs in treasury mngt or investment mgmt or etc etc. unless additional qualification is acquired(no defiling intended)
ur graduation in finance n banking will pave ur career towards core financial operations, whether in banking, or in insurance, leasing, investment mgmt, mutual funds n etc etc etc.
so i fear tht u will ve to sacrify either ur interest in CA, or, ur graduation by join ACCA/ACA after it.
this second option is not feasible by any means, in terms of ur time, money, n efforts. plus, CA will suck another 6-7 yrs.
i will suggest to get a masters after graduation in business/economics/finance and/or specializations, like CFA or diploma from IBP etc tht fitts in financial institutions.
this iz my point of view, n it is open for criticism for all fellows, but plz avoid kicking up a CA vs ACCA war here. mr. amjad_736 needs a constructive n healthy responce from us.
