We are saying it’s unfair to have to clear five papers while others have it easier. You may be book smart, but you clearly have a very nasty personality.
The anonymity of the internet brings out the worse in people so don’t take the commenter to heart lol.

Honestly I think it’s “fair” in the sense that they maintained cohort equality.

When they move from 5 days course to PAC, the rules change for a certain batch. The entire previous batches were still allowed to go for old scheme, including NS servicemen.

Likewise now any new exemptions also is cut off by batches. So compared to your classmates and peers, you are following the same set of rules.

You would only be upset if you compare against your seniors or juniors. But that is neither here nor there yah… this is just life. Unless you got time stone, cannot change it.

At least it’s not a case where you died of a terminal illness and the cure was invented the next day.

If you only need to do 1 capstone after ur uni days, dun try to say u or ur uni cert is better than them, its obvious.
That’s a case for not researching on the prevailing requirements.

Back in 2014 2015 we already were telling people everywhere this is a new route, new qualification programme, you need to go through this if you want CA.

If at that time you accept the uni offer with that understanding, don’t take it too hard on yourself and lament about changing requirements.

If 10 years ago you sold something cheap and now price go up, yes you maybe will heart pain a bit, but should just move on with life because you made the decision at that point in time and should take own it.

And ISCA CA value will suddenly shoot up.

Ok lah...let's say no need SG Pte Ltd's management accounts

We say only SGX listed company accounts must be prepared by ISCA CA...

Then how?
Then all the big 4s die already. You tell me which JHK has CA other than those JHK from old batches who have converted their acca/icpas through 5 days PAC? They wont do that because that also means that they cant have interns in those engagement as well as unable to offshore some of the work to overseas audit team.

Which also has zero value add to Accountancy sector growth where Gen Z only wants instant gratification with low working hours and ease of obtaining CA qualification

Thus we end up killing the accountancy sector and now backtracking

Audit Sector - race to the bottom for lowest fees, your enemies are your compatriots in commercial who strive to block your fee increases

Commercial - you are cost center and 1 headcount to do 3 person work
