In Pakistan, there are not many options available to pursue career in the field of Accounting and Finance. People interested in the field enroll themselves in degree programs offering courses of study in commerce or business.Joining Chartered Accountancy is a field of choice for students aspiring to adopt accounting & finance. A very well-crafted career pathway, towards becoming a chartered accountant, has been designed by Institute of chartered accountants of Pakistan (ICAP. However, becoming a CA is a long tedious journey.This need not only focus but also require a certain skill set which few students find lacking after joining the program. This further results in lower success rate which becomes a major road block for students aspiring to become a chartered account.

Providing solution, SS-CASE-IT (Federally Chartered Degree Awarding Institute) has designed Bachelor of Accounting and Finance keeping those students in mind who want to become Chartered accountant while keeping their option open. The BS (A&F) offered at SS CASE-IT is fully aligned with Syllabus prescribed by Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP). This means, that students registered with SSCASEIT get prepared for all the stages of CA career path, startingfrom Assessment of Fundamental Competencies stage (AFC) upto MSA - Multi Subject Assessment stage. The body of knowledge is covered in a manner that students, if desire, can appear in the exams conducted by ICAP while studying and earning through their BS(A&F) degree. BSAF is a gateway to a horizon of opportunities. One can join a variety of professional areas including but not limited to audit, tax, general accounting services, pension funds, brokerage houses, investment funds, banks, modaraba companies, telecommunications, textiles, insurance companies, actuarial services manufacturing, marketing,, operations management. Supply chain management. Sky is the limit, stretch your wings for new horizons, only thing which we need is "your passion and hard work".

Thus the graduates of SS CASE ITenjoy exemptionsfrom such organization for a number of courses studied at SS CASE IT.

How to Read Roadmap

Middle column of Roadmap represents syllabus prescribed by ICAP, while First and Third Column represents BSAF 4 Years course plan offered by CASE. See First Course “AFC-1 Functional English” in ICAP’S First stage known as "Assessment of Fundamental Competencies(AFC)". Further observe that red color arrow connects AFC1 to Semester 1 Course Functional English(FE), Like wise AFC-2 Business Communicating connects with Semester 4 Course Business Communication. "AFC-3 Quantitative Methods" Joins "Introduction to Quantitative Techniques" in Semester 1. Likewise the last course of Stage 1 of ICAP i.e. "AFC-4 to Information Technology" tracks back to Semester 1 Course "Introduction to IT".
