I need not to blast anyone; but everyone may like to have a blast at his own ) since they say, "it's fun to be young". Kidding!
Forum is a place where ideas are shared in a typical sequence of query-answer-query-answer; and if someone has a right to put the query, others are leveraged with a right of answering. I hope one can understand that so far both remain within the limits of decency, nothing can be tagged as a "blast" in a sense it has been used.
Having said that, <b>I also wish to reiterate my pleasure to see the people crying for not being associated with ICAP, though indirectly. </b>I can imagine how sad it is. However, a kind advice is that, please market yourself at your own and do not use ICAPâs name for winning any sympathies or a market share.
We have been seeing this trend from the outset and we know this has to continue. Still, this is nothing to feel odd for; rest assured.

I hope i am not the one! ). Not going into kiddish arguments, i have already mentioned that i have no grudges against the local body securing its interest in a market that belongs to it naturally.
Secondly, i accept the fact that ICAP is not responsible for students opting for foreign qualifications in Pakistan. It has no obligation to quit its policy of promoting itself to give space to other qualifications. Further, it has all the right to promote its intesrest even if such actions are deterimental to foreign qualifications.
For all those students who do not opt for ICAP are responsible for themselves and they must know in advance, where would they want to move from there....making their own way.
Personally, i am one of those students who did not opt for ICAP going against advises of many close CA relevatives and never even registeered for module D expemtion even though i completed my 3.5 years too in Pakistan highlighting the fact that there are few people in Pakistan who simply don't adopt ICAP accepting as it is. I have craved my own path without having grudges against anyone. Allah ka karam after my articles i had very lucrative manager level job offer from my ex client. A salary that even qualified CAs may never get. Which means if you are good at your work respect follows. You might take it as a bluff and you are free to do so.
Of course it is "fun to be young" but its also a little naive to consider everyone "ÿoung". Its a habit that most of us "seniors" adopt during our articles period. Sadly we don't quit the attitude later on considering everyone "ÿoung" or a tucha in desi language. May be <b>Imran Hasnain</b> is also "young" but he may also be a 40 year old person with heaps of knowledge and experience under his belt. Its hard to judge on a forum isnt it?
The reason to give you a little hint about my background is because next time if you see me criticizing, don't jump to the conclusion that someone has regrets of not beign with ICAP. Rather take it constructively as i dont beleive in unprofessional arguments.
My queries pertaining to ICAP is out of curosity. Rescentlý CPA and CIMA signed a MOU and i was very curious to know about it too. Doesn't mean i regret not doing CIMA over ACCA or the "crying" perception. As a Finance Professional i keep myself updated with whats happening with professional bodies around.
Next time i would expect profesisonal replies from you regarding any matter that includes ICAP. I hope i am not expecting too much.
The "Blasting" part was a little unprofessional and humor in a sense which i shall avoid.
Back to thread, my questions were,
- is it professional on part of ICAP to copy ICAEW syllabus as it is?
- Will ICAP feel threatened if Pakistanis start going for ICAP membership through ICAEW route. The whole policy of keeping prestige through keeping low number of members will be jeapordized.
- Are there any exam reductions planned or replace or new additions is the plan.
Overall im glad to see this long due revision of syllabus. Its time to fall in line.
