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.
