<br />Some of the professionals i know would be laughing at this thread. I know only CIAs making **k AED in UAE. I know a phipine CPA manager in EY. I know a BSC engineer in consultancy department in one of the big 4. I know ONLY Masters and MBAs in finance working in top positions in top companies without even a professional qualification. I even know ACCAs working in excellent positions in Pakistan itself.
We Pakistanis tend to forget that it is not just the qualification that counts. Let me say here that...
A CA+ACCA+CFA+CPA with 10 yrs of finance/audit/equity experience is unlikely to get a job in the west if he can not communicate in English well. Not even at Pizza hut or Walmart.
If you cannot stand up in front of 20 top people of your company and present your financials to them, then you are not even worth a big ZERO with all the qualifications under your belt. Let me assure you that ACCAs have been working world wide with other professionals.
Also allow me to tell you that ACCA/CA/CPA/ICAEW has almost the same basic book knowledge. They only differ by experience and inter-personal skills.
So kindly stop wasting time like we have been for 60 years and start working hard.
You all are the CFOs/CEOs and HEADs of the future. Only if you drop this thread right here and get back to work.
People like Kamran will feed you their local BS for good. He portrays ACCA is a shortcut qualification for other designations. Well if it is such a crap than how does the world bodies provide so much exemption for it.
When an ACCA opts for CA or other qualification he is using it as SHORTCUT, while those CAs who opt for foreign qualifications are simply looking for MULTIPLE qualifications. Why this hypocrisy?
I joined this forum way back but quit due to the nature of discussions here. 3 years back i saw Kamran corrupting young minds and still he is on the same track. This compelled me to login and post this reply.
I am an ACCA+CIA with 3 years training from big 4 Pakistan working as Senior Group Auditor for one of the biggest business groups of UAE. Earlier i have worked with big4 in KSA as well.
At the end, it is up to you and your worth in your own eyes. Value yourself if you want others to value you. Pakistan or not Pakistan you all will have a great career Inshallah.
Thank you.

One thing i'd like to say is that anyone with ACA+ACCA+CFA+CPA+10years experience will definitely get any job any where because these papers are not taken in pashto saraki punjabi that the person wont know English.Hilarious. They are conducted in English. And even if that's an extremely exceptional case where a person has no idea of English after qualifying these qualifications, then even he can get any respected job in "WEST" my dear.
Be realistic.
