The basic difference is that C.A is a National Pakistani accountancy qualification, whereas ACCA is an international Uk accountancy qualification. You can find out more about both these qualifications on www.icap.org.pk and www.accaglobal.com. Both these qualifications follow and test International Financial Reporting Standards and International auditing standards, with C.A having additional national Generally Accepted Accounting Practices(GAAP). Knowledge wise both are equal
ACCA will cost you more than C.A
C.A has made mandatory for its students to train in approved audit firms for a minimum of 3years to become an ACA. ACCA is flexible in this regard and does not bound its student to have training in audit firms only You can gain the relevant work experience in any industry, provided you fulfill the required 14 Performance objectives
ACCA is easier than C.A in a way that ACCA always has a clear, published marking Scheme after each Exam session, and the marking is transparent. Many believe that ICAP passes students according to Market demand
Worth of C.A is more than ACCA only in Pakistan, but that does not mean ACCA is not recognised in Pakistan. It's worth is growing in Pakistan and you do get good jobs in the private sector as well as public sector
You have great books and practice questions and their solutions for ACCA. I don't know about C.A
