Based on above
ACCA and CA ANZ = RMA = 5 years membership
ISCA and CA ANZ = RMA = no SCAQ exam paper

Why ACCA and ISCA don't sign RMA?

ACCA and CA ANZ got RMA
ISCA and CA ANZ got RMA

Why can't ISCA and ACCA have RMA ???

Why dun you just take SCAQ

If you from local university you should find the papers very manageable

There has only been 1 exception of all my memory. The Court of Appeal has ordered the Workers' Party-run town council to appoint accountants from one of the Big Four accounting.
