1. According to NARIC, ACCA is equivalent to a UK Masters degree and ACA (ICAP) is equivalent to a UK Bachelors degree, hence ACCA gets more points for UK immigration purposes;
2. At present ACCA members get more exemptions from the ICAEW than ACA (ICAP) as ACCA is a UK Chartered Body and is a member of CCAB;
3. ACCA has much more recognition all over the world (including US/Canada, Middle East, Australia) compared to ICAP.
4. ACCA has MRAs in place with a number of major accountancy bodies around the world, unlike ICAP.
No wonder ICAP is scared of ACCA. And there isn't much they can do about it!
