HEC does not recognise ACCA as a degree same as it does not recognise CA (Pak).

Once you qualify part 2 of ACCA, you are eligible for getting BSc (Hons) in Applied Accounting from Oxford Brookes on the completion of a thesis (detils are given on ACCA website).

Once you get dgree from OBU, you will have to show your documents at HEC office (alongwith a copy of your thesis) with a payment of around Rs. 3,600.

You will get equivalence letter from HEC within 2 weeks recognising your BSc (Hons) degree equal to 3 years bachelor degree in Pakistan.

You are eligible to sit in CSS with it provided the rumour of increased educational requirement to 16 years proves false.

@mangat1

The requirement for ACCA is bachelors or 21 years. Though you can start it at 16 with O levels through CAT.

Even then you are eligible for BSc bcz it is granted on the bases that students' level of knowledge is at par with BSc after completing part 2 of ACCA.

Hope your queries are cleared.
