Alternate route to CA Pakistan

[inayat9760]

Dear all

I am ACCA member with 2.5 years of big 4 experience plus 2.5 years of small audit firm in middle east(5 years pre qualification experience). And also CA Inter from ICAP.

I am interested to gain CA PAK and found this info on icap website "A person who is a member from Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia, Canada, England & Wales, Ireland, Scotland may apply for membership."

My query is from institutes mentioned above how fast i can get membership, what exemption they offer to acca member, my experience is enough to claim their membership, which one is suitable in my case time wise.

the problem with getting any other CA qualification is that you might pass the exam, but they wont consider your experience.. you will have to go through training again.. so let say you pass 2 remaining ICAEW papers, you will still be undergoing 3 year more years of training at an ATO bcz without that, you will not be allowed to give the final case study paper.

Hope this helps

Dear inayat

As you are member of ACCA , if you opt ICAEW then you have to complete two years of training under ATOS not three three years as you are member of ACCA , and if you opt ICAP then they dont accept prior membership of acca or experience


Hope the answer of your question .

If you did training in one of the BIG 4 then you should have started ICAEW training with them at the inception of ACCA training
Here is a suggestion Apply for a JOB in one of the big 4 firms and mention you want an ICAEW training contract too. In audit firms' ICAEW training you get salary, not stipend, if you have some prior work experience

please clarify a bit further.
