UK NARIC - surprising decision

Post by sunandoghosh » Thu Sep 10, 2009 9:49 pm

UK NARIC says evaluated my USA CPA qualificstion as equivalent to UK Bachelors...

I am shocked..

USA CPA is highest accounting professional qualification in USA similar to CA in other countries.

Unlike CIMA ACCA for USA CPA one needs to have accouting education to be eligible to appear for exam. Whereas ACCA etc allows even an arts student to appear.

I wonder what to do next...???

UK NARIC is the sole agency on which UKBA relies for equivalency to masters degree which is noq required for Tier 1.

I am really not having any clue what to do next.

Senior members pls advise.

Can I appeal to NARIC is it woth it. PLS Guide.

Based on these threads, I think you could have sent your US CPA along with previous Accountant qualifications to NARIC. You can send PM to these guys who were discussing about the same issue some years ago, may be they do not check forum regularly but (PM) personal message will send them an email allert. Good luck!

I think it would be better if you could provide your educational backgroud details, so that the members with same field as that of yours could come up with some helpful ideas, either to make your appeal letter better or to suggest you to apply for another evaluation from NARIC.
Also, please see the following link and prepare your case accordingly
