salaam all,
hey, abdusalam, i advise u NOT to do ACA. reason is tht u r already in job for seven yrs. v dont know ur marital n financial status, but i m sure many ppl of ur family might b depending upon this job. if u go for ACA, ur job will b lost due to its articleships. articles last for four yrs n u will get just a little stipend.
my advice is tht if u really want to enter finance or accounts profession, thn opt for ACCA or MBA or CIMA or ne other related qualification tht can b completed ALONG WITH the job WITHOUT loosing it. during the course, try to move into accounts or finance department of ur company. it shall contribute towards the requirements of 3-yrs work experience as well. u can even opt for CFA if u r interested in financial institutions!!!
benefit of doing these things is tht u can continue ur job. u can shift in the relavent finance/accounts depts. n gain relavent exposure as well. but in CA, u shall miss ur job n four yrs article will not pay u nething n u never know whn it shall end!!!
final decision is urs, this is my personal opinion, without biases for ICAP or ACCA ppl bcoz i m in NONE of these two )))
