yeah. if ultimate goal is to increase CA members, then should revert to the old system. 5 days workshop.

Anyone working in the industry can become a CA just by clocking in the hours.

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.
