For CIMA, there is a revised exemption programme now... You will not have to give FOUR but SEVEN exams of CIMA after ACCA. So considering under normal circumstances, it might take you 1.5 - 2 years.
CFA will take a minimum of three years, keeping in mind you clear all the exams in the first attempt, which is usually not the case.
ICAEW too will take minimum three years, if you manage to pass in the first attempt.
For CPA, you can appear for the computer based examinations, starting from April 2004, on any date that the CBE centre has issued.

Sorry for poping into the discussion, but it something relevant to me as well and I will be grateful if you may have me some more information on CPA computer based exams.
Considering CPA has selected PROMETRICS a testing services company having offices around the globe, does AICPA have any intentions to make the exams available globally? I mean could it be possible for people to appear in a CPA exams in Pakistan or Middle East?
Regards

There was a petition available to be signed on some website which asked you to sign if you were interested that the CPA exams should be held globally... A lot of other countries too are interested in holding CPA examinations, but it doesn't seem to be the case as of now... Because CPA has different requirements of practice and entrance in all of the states of America according to their respective laws... So considering that even if CPA happens hold examinations globally, it will have to devise some sort of an 'internationally accepted' set of rules for practice and entrance.
