@mtariq68662

SOCPA registration is only gor working professional in Finance/ Accountants .

better you continue with Labor profession. there is issues with accounts professions.

if company wants to change your profession they will guide you.

@Onlineon7190 Thanks for the reply. But the issue when I attended interviews..they asked if I done SOCPA registration. Also when few vacancies showed up..they asked SOCPA registration must. So I thought If I can register SOCPA, I might get an advantage. But wanted to make sure If I can do this with my current status. Also,

Can you be more specific regarding issues with accountant profession?
