Given these distinctions, I question the rationale behind requiring graduates to pass the SCAQ exam.

Does this exam truly prepare us to expedite our work or manage rush deadlines more effectively?

Will becoming a Chartered Accountant help us type faster or vouch to invoices more quickly? Let's be realistic! Our job nature demands a great deal of practical execution and hands-on.

For instance, I know someone who only has an ACCA qualification. He types quickly, good in Excel spreadsheet, vouching to invoices efficiently, and he can copy and paste at an impressive speed.

Despite his practical skills and fast speed, he doesn't hold an ISCA CA designation. This example highlights the disconnect between practical abilities and formal qualifications.
