Visitor Comments:

a) This firm has around 100 employees if you include the employees which are hired by the firm but outsourced to various local and multinational organizations all over the country. The concept is known as Staff Leasing or HR Outsourcing. Since, such employees are hired purely for specific clients and are used there dedicatedly for long periods, such employees are not included by the firm in its manpower strength.

b) Pakistan has more than 500 Accountancy Practicing Firms all working under license from the profession's regulatory body - the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan, however, only around 90 odd firms have satisfactory Quality Control Ratings. This firm is one of them.

c) This firm was one of the first few professional firms / companies to have been given the status of ACCA Accredited Employer by ACCA even before companies such as Unilever Pakistan, Proctor & Gamble Pakistan, etc were given the same status.

d) This firm's IS/IT Division's main clientele is UK based and the IS/IT Division's offices are also located in Leicestershire as well as in Newcastle - UK. Having offshore offices is a rarity among Accountancy / Consulting Firms in Pakistan.

f)The firm's growth rate during the last financial year has been more than 100%.

Keeping in view the fact that in Pakistan, there are only 5004 Chartered Accountants with 20% of them (around 1000) overseas, so from the point of view of Pakistanis and several other South Asians, this firm might justify a place at Wikipedia.

You must note that Pakistan's economy is a growing one with one of the highest GDP growth rates in the world during the last consecutive three financial years. The economy is booming and so are professional service providers. This firm has grown from a relatively small sole practice into a medium size practice within a very short span of time (within five years). This too is an achievement for this firm.

If you look at this firm's clientele, you will see that there are several top financial institutions which shows this firm's credibility.

 * I've removed the equal signs at the top of your list and replaced them with lines, since it messed around with the format on the rest of the main July 1 AfD page. -- Charlene 12:55, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
