Hey raheel,
I am currently doing CA and will be done with it soon (InshAllah), besides i am also doing ACCA and i have a b.com degree from KU. I wish to pursue my career as a CPA. With what i have heard (nothing authentic), is that in some states, a Pakistani CA only has to take the last 3 pprs in order to qualify as a CPA. However, this is done after scrutiny and varies on case to case basis. Is that true?
Any other suggestions as to how a Pakistani CA can make it there.

hello bro,
Though this question is not directed towards me but I just want to clarify.CA(ICAP),ICAEW,CIMA,ICMAP and ACCA , all of these bodies r required to pass all 4 cpa exams.There is no exemption available to them at all in any state.Only following bodies currently have exemptions in USCPA.
1)ICAA (AUSTRALIA)
2)CPA (AUSTRALIA)
3)ICAI (IRELAND)
4)CICA (CANADA)
5)NZICA (NEWZEALAND new agreement starting this year2010)
6)MEXICO accouniting body(I forget its name)
these 6 bodies r exempt from all 4 papers and just required to pass 1 qualfying exam.
And to sit in CPA u will be required to have 150 CH(120 CH in very few states).
Greatkhans has provided a good link above. Go there and post ur query.TORONTO-BOY is also a USCPA and usually answers queries there.As far as ur bcom from KU is , it would get around 60 CH in assessment.Another thing dear various states and assessing authorities award different C HOURS to one qualification.One student with Bcom and ICMAP recently could not cross 150 CH requirements.It is better to move to above thread of forum and ask TORONTO-BOY(I suggested his name because he is a very active forum member and posts reply quickly.No offense to Raheel).
Regards.
