Hi there
I can confirm that there is no 'new' route to date for admission to ICAEW with the introduction of IFRS in the EU. I am sure they will have to introduce some kind of new program tailored to the new market needs. As far as I am aware they have not done that as yet. However, what I dont understand is that why all Pakistani CAs are always eager for ICAEW? Although I may admit I was also like that a couple of years ago, but what we need to see is that holding a CA from Pakistan is itself a great achievement. In order to succeed in life one should look for diversity rather than repeating CA again from a particular country (unless you intend to settle in UK). I have many ICAEW friends and collegues and believe me I dont see anything extra in them apart from their interpersonal skills which comes not by doing CA but due to living conditions in UK.
I hope this answers your question.

Hi,
This message goes out to everyone ; I wanted to know what shall an ACCA qualified in Pakistan do, to get registered in ICAEW and how would he seek work permit.
As from late 2004-2005 application of IFRS, the whole EU wide, will increase demand for International Stream students. This shall create opportunities for people like me to seek such a route.
How would you interprete such an opening coming.
