So, I guess the best & shortest way would be to do ACCA first & then CA (Mod E & F) with 3 yr articles. But there are 2 questions which come in my mind.
1) Several posts on the forum say that big 4 are reluctant to hire ACCA's for articleship as compared to CA-Inters. Is this the ground reality ? Anybody with ne experiences ?
2) If someone clears CA Mod E & F during the 3 yrs of articles after ACCA in 1st attempt, would he be at a advantage or disadvantage ? Coz on one hand he clears CA in 5 yrs & on other..he has one less yr of experience. (Just a question ! coz I know there is a high probability tht ICAP babas would make sure this doesnt happen. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>)

1- Actually the big 4 are not really reluctant on Hiring them... Taliking Abt the Pakistani scenario than Firms Like Ferguson and Ford Roads are although reluctant but if u r 1st time pass in ACCA then they will surely Hire u although i am not sure abt Ferguson ... but even there if not all than many ppl there are also Safarashi......
In UK ACCA is fastest growing Accountancy Body... and it is clearly evident from the fact that even ICAEW and CIMA and CIPFA are planning Merger..... As i have alreadyt posted an article related to it.... The Big 4 Require 1st time passed ir-regardless that u r ACCA or ICAEW Qualified.....
2) Although he has one year less of expereince and on the other he has An Internationally recognized Qualification... Thats of course not a bad deal........
