CPA to CA

[nabeelsiddiqi]

Hi

I have one question if someone can answer me. If somebody is CPA and wants to come and work in Pakistan and get his/her CA. What is the procedure?

I have just recently graduated in Accounting degree and planning on taking CPA exams soon, but eventually i want to come back to pakistan and work there.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

<br />Hi,

Salam,

Candidates who have successfully completed all examinations of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) will be dealt with on case to case basis. Such candidates are advised to complete the prescribed Exemption form and submit it along with copies of certificates, copies of syllabus certified by AICPA and other details for evaluation. After obtaining exemptions such candidates are required to undergo three years training with the Principal at CA Firm/ Training Organisation.

Therefore, You will be given exemption on the papers you have already studied in CPA.

Rgds,

One of my young cousin need advice regarding following CA career from abroad, eg Canada, US or Australia. Can you tell the pro-and-cons of doing CA from these places or point me to some relevant information. He should know how to plan career, studies, what are requirements, how much expense will be, which country's qualification works where, current job market there and may be put some light on comparing it with Pakistan.

Thanks
