thanks for reply but one thing that hit my mind is that when i was reading ICAP's site, i wandered around and eventually got into "why CA" catagory. What i read in there was that " Our highly qualified CAs work in the international markets around the globe and providing altruistic and magnimous services". Thought i don't remember the exact words. But thats what i saw. Now you're saying that accountants that may be public or whatever won't get permited until they get a license of that particular state. Then why ICAP used the term "INTERNATIONAL markets"? Are they bogus at making certain statements or these are just prejudices and foolish orthodoxes that we have? And one other thing, i don't want to do bachelors or all that poo for CPA, so i want to ask that is CA from CICA interchangeble in CPA? Or should i just join ICAP and seek for jobs in future and see how it goes?Moreover, i randomly googled " Institute of chartered accountants in USA" and they came a website that didn't really seem to be a spam. You can search it for yourself. And if chartered accountants ain't recognized then why in right mind would they create a website that belongs to institute of chartered accountants of USA and why the heck ICAP used the word " International" if you're right about what you said? Of course they (ICAP) have prodigious knowledge than us and how could they make mistake? This forum really double minds you and true is what Waldo said " follow your own track". My bro has a friend who's been earning around 9000 bucks and he IS a chartered accountant but from ICAI and he works in NASDAQ, now whats that? I really was going to join ICAP because it is one of the most intelligent, and in the world, ain't it? Of course we just can't ignore it. And i have a problem with ACCA and ACMA, they are way less paid than CAs or CPAs. This is the genuine statement i read on there
