No doubt CA is the most well paid qualification in accountancy in Pakistan. There's no doubt about the market value of ICAP CA in Pakistan.
However as far as the syllabus & structure is concerned, ACCA is in NO WAY lower than the ICAP CA. Its a British tier 1 qualification highly sought in many areas of the globe including the first world United Kingdom.
I don't have much interaction with CA Module E & F students. However I have seen CA inters are at much lower level in knowledge than the ACCA professional students. Many subjects which ACCA's study during last papers of F series & initial papers of P series are examined in CA modules E & F. A colleague of mine was asking me for ACCA books to prepare for CA Module E attempt.
According to my knowledge, there is ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT about the quality of the ACCA qualification as compared with ANY professional accountancy qualification in the world.
AND
There is no doubt about the very high market value of CA ICAP in Pakistan as compared with ACCA. Even I plan to apply for ICAP CA, however I won't degrade the quality of ACCA as compared with ICAP CA just because that I plan to quality ICAP CA.
That would be biased, against moral values, ethics & a sin to go against the truth just because I plan to join the institution. What is fact, is the fact.
