Hello All !
I like this Community and trust u all that's why sharing my Career with you guys I know u guys can better suggest me even the Professionals here can Guide well which can help me to take a Wise and Bold Decision so,

I done Inter from Engineering then I do CAT about 7 paper & 3 papers of ACCA then I am giving B.COM paper this Dec. & After Dec I cont. My ACCA but now I am thinking about CA acc. to me CA has more worth than ACCA but I don't understand the diff. and Superior One well If i go for CA they should give me any Exemption and I had already pass their PPT test last year and B.Com also a + point

Therefore,

Should I stick with ACCA ?
or

My Dear,

Don't get confused in it. Relax OK
Both CA and ACCA are professional accounting bodies. Thing you must know is that, CA is Pakistan based that is why it has great scope in Pakistan. It requires great efforts too.

On the other hand you have ACCA. Which is International reputable Accounting Body. It has equal value all over the world. It requires little less time than CA.

CA and ACCA both open gates to different global certifications as well. Link ACAEW, CIMA and CFA etc. So choice is yours. But I suggest you to stick with ACCA.

My Dear ACCA is best than CA .BY dong ACCA u have a good great chance to complete CA.After doing ACCA u should complete the article ship and during the article ship u will give the papers of e and f module of CA.iF U GO NOW IN ca THEN U WILL HAVE NO EXEMPTION AND WILL HAVE TO TAKE TEH EXAMS OF CA FROM VERY START THAT IS WASTAGE OF UR TIME .sO GIVE THE FULL ATTENTION TO ACCA AND THEN COMPLETE CA.

3 times but still can't decide by those comments so from

ACCA well nowadays I am busy in B.com so final decision I take
after it.

time of their support.
Thanks and Regards,
