We should hold ISCA as an organization accountable for its decisions over time. While different management teams may have influenced the specific policies in 2013 and 2024, the organization as a whole is responsible for the outcomes of its strategies and decisions.

The introduction of SCAQ in 2013 and the policy shift in 2024 are both part of ISCA's ongoing efforts to adapt and improve the accountancy profession in Singapore.

ISCA, as an organization, should be held accountable for strategic decisions that have shaped the trajectory of the accountancy profession in Singapore, demonstrating a problematic lack of consistency and foresight across its policy implementations.

The introduction of the SCAQ in 2013, which dramatically increased the rigor and barriers to entry into the profession, appears to be a severe miscalculation. This policy not only led to a significant decline in the number of new chartered accountants but may also have isolated the profession from young, talented individuals who found the process daunting and disproportionately challenging.

Fast forward to 2024, the significant policy shift to allow undergraduate students to clear most of the qualification before graduation suggests a reactive rather than proactive organizational strategy. This abrupt change can be perceived as an attempt to quickly remedy the dwindling numbers of professionals, indicating a knee-jerk response to earlier policy failures rather than a well-thought-out evolution of standards.

Such fluctuations in policy undermine ISCA’s credibility and reliability as a regulatory body, suggesting a broader organizational failure to align long-term strategic goals with the dynamic needs of the global financial landscape and its local stakeholders. This pattern of decision-making raises concerns about the organization's governance and its ability to effectively guide the accountancy profession into the future.

There was no internal announcement.. probably to prevent news leak.

So no point asking here

People here seem to think Manager can increase Associate pay..
