About PAC
The Professionals’ Academy of Commerce is not just an educational institution; it is a journey of thirty years, a continuous struggle aimed at bringing out the best out of our future generations. The founder, Mr. Ishfaq Ahmed (Late) took this initiative back in 1987 with a campus in Lahore, and today PAC does not only have campuses in the prime cities of Pakistan – Lahore, Peshawar and Islamabad, but also in the UAE. Not just that, recently PAC took another initiative of introducing online, live and interactive classes through its new School of Distance Learning for the first time ever in the country! PAC also runs a publishing wing by the name of Ishfaq Publishing Company since 1999; this is also one of a kind experiment in the domain of Accounting Education in Pakistan.
