BBA grad seeking way into the accountancy field

[shahkam]

Dear sir

I have done my BBA hons from a reputed university in Pakistan and i am currently working in a bank from the past 2 years. I have been trying to pave my way into the accountancy side but as far as my research tells me, in Pakistan it would take many years to get a a CA qualification, so i thought i could get myself enrolled into the CPA USA qualification and after my research i lag some accounting hours to be eligible for writing for the exam. Doing a master in accounting from some American University would require a huge investment and i guess Pakistan has no such offering. Please could anybody advise on this. The exam is also being internationally administered now, is it an option that i get into some accounting master in those international locations, say for example UAE, and then sit for the exam there. Please advise

Regards

Jibran

Salam All

I have completed my articleship but stuck in MOdule E for the last 14 months, can anyone suggest if this program is worthwhile, it says, I am eligible to complete an HEC recognized MBA, which will be 18 years of education. My current employer has already suggested if I have an MBA I will be eligible for a promotion and increase in salary.

Please go through the site and tell me if an investment of 18 months will help me? The last date for admission is 17th or 27th of September

Please help
thanks
