Hi guys,
I understand that there has been past users in this thread who had discussions of having their CAs from different countries assessed by WES. I submitted my CA qualification to WES after reading this thread and am hoping that they will give a satisfactory evaluation.
I am a Chartered Accountant from Singapore. I'm not sure of how each country assesses their chartered accountants but in my case, it was a simple process of getting the bachelor's degree from the local university (which is extremely hard to get accepted), completing the 3 years of relevant experience, and then passing a pre-admission course exam. There are no further modules to be taken.
I waited for more than 20 working days and emailed WES, expecting that the evaluation is completed. to my horror, they replied me saying that they have received my documents but they do not accept documents from the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants. The academic records on file will be discarded and my fees will be fully refunded. i am shocked! They even told me to go on cic website for other ECA providers! My bachelor's was previously successfully evaluated already but i'd added in the CA qualification separately as an added credential and paid extra for it.
I am not sure what else I can do about this. I have emailed WES and expressed my disappointment and disbelief, hoping that they will give a satisfactory answer and reconsider my evaluation. Meanwhile, I would like to check with the seniors here if anyone has a similar experience and what I can do about this. This credentials is extremely important as it's a 33 point increase from 431 to 464.
Thank you.
