    Hello

    Well, I am sad to report that I’m a man with no ambition. I do not know where exactly I’d want to be in the future and what kind of jobs would interest me. I could say that I am not fully aware of my options after having completed the ACCA but then again, I did consider various courses I could engage in after I complete the ACCA. I thought of CFA (abandoned the idea thinking it would take way too long and finance might not be my strength considering its quite comprehensive), then MBA (the cost, element of finance was a bother again, followed by ICAEW after claiming exemption to 12 papers (then I thought it’s more or less another accounting qualification which I could get full exemptions to once I am ACCA qualified and have 5 years of experience anyway).

    I am now considering what’s considered the ‘gold’ standard qualification in the field of tax, CTA. I have started to think that tax is probably where I belong (only a gut feeling, still. I was wondering how sensible an option it is to attempt CTA after clearing all of my ACCA papers and working on a BSC in Applied Accounting degree from Oxford Brookes University alongside by the end of this year (hopefully).

    What’s the scope of CTA in the world (not JUST the UK)? Is anyone aware if any relevant courses for CTA are taught in Pakistan as well (especially Islamabad/Rawalpindi)? How fruitful is the industry for people engaged in tax practice?

    I would appreciate answers to all the above and any further advice that the knowledgeable people here may have to give.

    Thanks in advance.
