<br />Hi, i dont think dat only FRSH takes ACCA students, there are a whole lot of firms who also take ACCA students. I know many ACCA people workin in different firms. Ofcourse, u all know an articleship in a CA firm is not a must for an ACCA he can work in any company subject to someconditions. I hav always found ACCAs debatin wether a company is better or a CA firm for them for their 3yrd training, u may get better money in a company but as far as experience is concerned a firm is much preferred.
An ACCA who wants to do articles with CA firm, just take the list of firms top 10, 20 or even more have already been discussed here, apply there and definetely many wud be ready to entertain him.
Although, most of u know, an acca may join a CA firm after gettin registered with ICAP, in this case he is entitled to CA inter xemption and will ve to complete 3 years artilcles, this articleship will be considered both for ACCA and CA.
I wud suggest sumbudy who wants to do CA to start through ACCA route much easier and perhaps time savin

I Stand corrected, there are definately other firms who will have ACCA students, infact you could get the list of ACCA accredited employers list from your local ACCA office. I guess what I meant to say was that among the Big4, FRRM (now FRSH)used to be the only one who took ACCA students and most large firms do take in ACCA affiliates.
Schueb has a good suggestion there about completing your ACCA and joining as an ICAP registered student. A lot depends on what your long term objectives are.
