What does it prove?

Does that mean SCAQ is a failure?

Win-win for all. Dont forget free CAs were given out in the past via 5 day workshop. Since if the ultimate goal is to have more CA members, dont see any problems with having exam route for those who want the CA faster while also giving a chance to those to obtain it via clocking CPE hours + years of exp.

since then shes been making me tank all her work, ot extra, etc and she threatens me with how she still has her clothes with my prints on them and can easily get me arrested for molest

what can i do??

Ask her to lodge a police report so it will become national headline and we know who you are.

You purposely grab her chest. This explains your motive for molest.

This post seems to be fake, otherwise i failed to see why you want to leave a piece of evidence on the internet...

I'm not sure if this will work or if it will just devalue the certification even more. The older batch who got the exemptions are from the AAAA batch, and back then, accounting was more prestigious. So with or without the certifications, they are seen as more capable. Now, with the cut-off dropping to BCCB and more exemptions being granted, it already doesn't look good. It feels like a lower barrier to entry. If you scrap the entire exam modules, I don't think the certification will be worth anything. Anyone working in the industry can become a CA just by clocking in the hours.

The sunk cost mindset is real

Indeed this seems like the only idea for pre-2019 batches that does not qualify any exemptions nor APP to get CA sg if taking on 5 papers and 3yrs ATO is not feasible for whatever lazy/legit reasonsss. Whatever it is, taking on all 5 papers really not worth the time and commitment, more in life than that scaq at this age. Instead of taking scaq, I chose to have more time for my relationship that led to my bto and marriage now. Not saying those who need to cope with full scaq can't have a fruitful life, just saying I wouldn't have that much energy and end up my life may get wreck by scaq. Ain't anyone got time for it!

Can only envy the recent grads got exemptions and undergrad got APP in addition to it. ISCA have always been an ass towards our batches since 2013, wont be surprise if any more idea they have is prospective and make us in worse state.

What do you mean AAAA batch got exemption?

I see some CPA Australia and ACCA members also attended 5 days workshop got ISCA CA

That was many many years ago under ICPAS.

Back then not so wayang only lah

Now that SCAQ smell like elitism
