They haven't shown much of interest in taking joint intiatives for ITP/STP's. Many of these institutes are run by Tax Lawyers & Other Professionals, who do not have any direct professional interest in pursuing any rights for ITP/STP's. till date no one has officially replied or approached us.

 

Talks were started with IFA-UK, IPA Australia owned IFAC member body, we have even mapped our courses but the real problems is fees

 

Later we have tried for CPA -Ireland, AICPA, IMA- USA but all replied in negative

Many CPA bodies from UK,Russia,Australia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh & Middles East have been invited
