Change of profession from accountant to finance

Hi, i have accountant profession on my iqama, socpa has cancelled my temporary membership because my qualification assessed by them does not meet the required hours for socpa membership. I have a BBA defree with subjects in accounting finance banking and other with MBA in finance. I tried to claim additional hours theough my MBA but SOCPA rejected stating they do not consider MBA credentials.


I am thinking to have my profession changed from accountant to orher finance related occupation, my question is profession change allowed these days if so which finance professions  are out of socpa scope.


Another alternate is i register for socpa exams? I want to ask how quick i can do exam? Because my iqama renewal is stuck because of this and due for renewal next month.


Quick advise will be appreciated

Dear All, further to my post earlier. My iqama renewal issue was resolved as my company PRO applied theough qiwa to request change of profession from accountant to financial analyst.l which requires no socpa membership. I received on qiwa and approve the request of change of occupation which was instantaneous.
