Bsc Accounting And Finance.. Confusion!!

[devdas]

Hello.
I am currently a student at LUMS studying Bsc Accounting and finance. Now i have a big confusion, problem and i need a lot of help and advices... My problem is that i want to pursue my career as a Chartered Accountant. I have heard ICAP has removed all exemptions for bsc holders which means i have to utilize 6 more years after completing my undergraduate programme to earn a certified chartered accountant degree (.. Is this true ??
Secondly, I want to know that can I apply in KPMG or any of the big four in UK and be accepted? I have a sound academic record and more than 550 UCAS points. Please help.. I am really confused about my future..
Thank you

Why don't you go for ACCA? They have exemption criteria for BSC Accounting and Finance. You will be left with 5 papers of ACCA after BSC.

well i wouldn't prefer dropping bsc as in my opinion you learn in a far wider horizon and in different paths in a college. I just dont understand why so discrimination agst Bsc candidates in Pakistan as compared to ACCA students opting for CA as a profession.

well

i dont think so there is any discrimination its just Icap policy or u can say rule.

u can still do ca from icap . its wide open 4 all.

thx
