Hi guys,
I have searched online in very detailed but still not satisfied with the answers, I want to know which qualification is the absolute best option to continue studies in, after doing ACCA. As in topping up the ACCA qualification, so to increase the job chances & to get a good buck too.
I would also like the answer of this question in reference to being in Pakistan, if Possible.Thanks in advance.
June 13, 2013 at 4:37 pm #132037In Pakistan, Go for ICAP.. I dont see any value addition in doing ICAEW after ACCA.
June 13, 2013 at 7:00 pm #132065What about CIMA after ACCA?
June 14, 2013 at 12:21 am #132103If you want to move outside Pakistan go for ICAEW, else ICAP would be preferrable in Pakistan.
Since ICAP has a monopoly in Pakistan most FDs and FCs would be ICAP and thus would prefer an ICAP qualified accountant working for them, thus ICAP is ideal in Pakistan.

In Pakistan, Go for ICAP.. I dont see any value addition in doing ICAEW after ACCA.ICAEW is a worldwide recognized professional body, and when they say this they mean it.
They have partnerships with CA Australia, CA Scotland, CA South Africa, CA New Zealand and CA USA as well. No other CA body is able to boast of this. Thus, you can actively seek to work in the aforementioned countries if you have an ICAEW.
Plus, ICAEW gives you an easier access to industry out of Pakistan, whereas ACCA/ICAP could stall you if you do not have sufficient experience.June 16, 2013 at 12:05 pm #132464I heard that CA Pakistan recognizes ICAEW, and after doing ICAEW, you’re basically equivalent to ICAP?
June 17, 2013 at 10:23 am #132559You have to write 3 papers of ICAEW after ICAP qualification to become an ICAEW.
And as i said, ICAEW will only be good for you if you are looking to venture outside Pakistan. If you are willing to stay in Pakistan, ICAP is good enough.
June 17, 2013 at 8:33 pm #132641And how many papers or what would I have to do after ACCA to become ICAEW? Those same 3 papers?
