I think leave it, is seems genuine, although to be honest i dont think it will come to anything but good luck to them. Where as this one, i dont know what it is one about?
On a somewhat related note, when I was in India, i notice there were loads of CA firms out there. I dont know if this was due to a large outsourcing work load or not, but it must be a decent revenue stream for them.

Ahh, how nice that you wave to departing posters. lol
Already banned them to prevent more Spam..
Just sorting the paperwork then the thread will follow.
What do you think that I should do about yesterdays Chartered in India? They deserve some respect for the qualification but totally misguided post... They posted the same post over on Aweb as well even with the same spelling mistakes.
kind regards,
Shaun.

I think that the professional bodies are making a killing out of the whole sub continent which is why there was uproar last year when the Pakistan Government came out with their line about only people who are Chartered under and pakistani body rather than a Global brand will be recognised as accountants and of course if you are not recognised as an accountant for experience requirements of membership.
Suddenly a lot of ACCA tudents were looking at years of study being worthless as to my understanding the Pakistani chartered qualifications are not really recognised anywhere but Pakistan.
Which of course poses another problem.
Within the UK if someone says that they are chartered you know what that means but in other parts of the world chartered is quite different.
If an Indian chartered practice was working with a UK company then the assumption is that the firm is ICAS, ICAEW or ICAI. But of course that is not true unless the chartered firm from India or Pakistan was actually chartered under a recognised body in the country in which it does business.
And of course, in many ways one could argue that someone qualified say MAAT or even MICB who understood UK tax law was of more use to a business than a foreign practice that perhaps did not.
Actually, rather than deleyting this thread I think that I'll hijack it.
talk in a bit,
Shaun.

I didnt know that about Pakistan. When i was in practice we had a guy who was ACCA qualified, had both a degree and masters in accounting, and yet couldnt get a decent job for the life of him as he didnt have any UK experience. If they dont get ACCA and get a domestic qualification i think that it will make it even harder for them to get a job in another country. (He eventually got a job in Dubai and is probably on about £150,000!)
The company i qualified with, outsourced some work to India a few years back and to be honest a decent AAT member would have done a better job. thats isnt to say i wasnt impressd with the job that they did considering, the fact they just had scanned records, didnt know the clients and it was operating a different country.
Well hijacked. Every cloud etc......
