A partner on my project keeps promising the client features we absolutely cannot deliver either due to budget, timeline, or reality. Then we’re the ones scrambling to make it work, duct tape and miracles included. It’s making us look incompetent, and scope creep is out of control. Would you push back directly in the meeting, or quietly clean up behind the scenes and document everything? I’m torn between protecting the team and protecting my job.

I’d document first, then escalate. Calling out a partner publicly can backfire. But laying out risks, impacts, and constraints gives you solid ground. Then you can intervene tactfully when the promises get unrealistic.

After asking two questions again he came on the same topic this happens twice in two interviews. Mere ko lag raha hey Jaan bujhke questions same topic pe puchte hey, so that they don't select that candidate.

Does anyone know about the IAAP diploma in IFRS?

IAAP is an awarding body in UK.

My doubt is, does the value of the certificate of IFRS change depending on the Institution?

Will a person who cleared IFRS from IAAP have same value as a person who cleared IFRS from ACCA?

Thanks in advance
