If you r aiming for ACCA after A level,do ensure that you have accountnacy and math as two of you subjects, since that is the requisite to start ACCA (or you will have to go for CAT or B.comm before u step into ACCA)
Shortest route for CA. ?
ACCA and CA seem to be good options 3 years for ACCA and another 3 years for CA and the articles.. (for if you are not an ACCA grad at the time of getting an articles contract)
If you go for CA direct,.. that will mean 2 years CA foundation plus 4 years articles and CA professional. plus any time that you may require to pass ACCA final stage after that.
So a lot depends on how you see yourself in each of the above roles/
Bear in mind that to have an A class career in Pakistan CA is a must (so far) or until you ACCA get the right to practice on their own. A majority of CAs in Pakistan do have an additional degree in the form of ACCA/CIMA etc. So if you are aiming at competing with the brightest another degree is a must. It does not matter if you do ACCA or CA first.
ACCA does have better pass percentages.. since they do follow a marks system which is not true for CA.. BECAUSE the pass candidates number seem to change with every attempt and perhaps the need for CAs in the economy.
