Forums › Other Accountancy Qualifications Forums › ACCA prospects in UK for overseas affiliate/students
Hi,
I am from Pakistan and about to attempt my final ACCA exam in Dec 2011.
I am also registered with the ICAEW as an independent student and have claimed exemptions upto 10 exam papers. I will be claiming further 2 exemptions based on my ACCA qualifications, leaving only the 3 Advance Stage exams of ICAEW.
Also I will be getting my OBU degree in March 2012 with a 2.2.
In O level I got 5 As and 3 Bs.
In A level I got 3As 1C
I want to move to UK and start my training there. So, I want to know if I move to UK what are my prospects of getting a 3 year ICAEW training contract with an audit firm?
Also, please guide me about the best possible strategy and timings to achieve my goal. Because in Pakistan there is nothing more than exploitation and despair for very well talented ACCA students/affiliates.
I would welcome answers from people who are already working in UK
Regards,
As far i know UK Border Agency Rules are getting more strict day by day as their economy is struggling with local unemployment issue!!!
But if you have contacts there, situations may be easier for you!!
can you please brief me about exemptions in ICAEW?
is there any fee for claiming exemptions?
till 30th sep 2012 the examption fee is waived, icaew review its policy after 3oth of sep each year, so no examption fee till 30th of sep.
download CPL from icaew site for further details for examptions.
