no need la. if need then those doing UOL -> ACCA have to become UOL->ACCA->ICPAS PE. Whereas they can do UOL->ICPAS PE. ACCA would be a burden for them isn't it.
But all these becomes uncertain because of the introduction of ICPAS QP. I think the new standard is that anyone who wish to attain CPA SG needs to go through ICPAS QP. But i'm not sure those that have CPA Aus can use MRA to gain recognition as CPA SG or even they have to go through QP.
So ultimately, we just have to wait for the finalised QP to be announced..anything we say now is just speculation ba
P.S: i heard that they are removing the difference in membership. meaning no more practising or non-prac, just CPA. but the authority to sign audit reports still granted by ACRA. just no difference in designation.
