I wonder. I also wonder what the effect will be on these "alternatively qualified CAs?" I'm already beginning to think of it as "CA*lite", no doubt to the chagrin of the Institute. On the upside, the CA*lite's will still have to pass the UFE which - if they're doing it successfully with no audit experience - will mean that they studied in a kick-ass manner, if nothing else, since that exam is HARD if you haven't actually applied the theory that you're writing about. Perhaps my joking "CA*lite" reference will die right here, having given it the thought from the previous paragraph.
