At the moment the Accountancy and Finance industry is experiencing a severe shortage of experts and trained workforce, which is resulting in shortage of qualified personals in both Accountancy & Finance in Pakistan and the world at large. This program would help to form the basis for collaboration and support by closely working with the certification bodies. The department is trying to take exemptions from ACCA, ICMA and CIMA for the graduating students of this program, by which the students will only have to appear in few modules to get another certification. Another benefit of this program would be the acquisition of a university degree as well as the certification form reputed body.
