Earlier, another Pakistani student, Zara Naeem, achieved the highest score globally in the exam for Financial Reporting for the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants examinations held in December 2020.
Zara Naeem, a student of SKANS School of Accountancy, credits her success to her father who always encouraged all the girls in the family to pursue their dreams.
Explaining the reason for choosing ACCA, Zara said, “ACCA was a natural choice for me. Most military families move every few years, so I always knew I needed a qualification that ensures flexibility and offers global mobility”
She further added that with over 527,000 students in nearly 179 countries studying and sitting the same exams ACCA is the best option for those who wish to go places
