See a quick reply in bold of your points.

<br />MRA between ACCA and HKICPA (Hong Kong) was terminated by HKICPA on 30 June 2005
A mutual recognition agreement existed between ACCA and the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants (NZICA). This was terminated by NZICA on 1 January 2003.
<b>Though you wrote about MRAs lost in 2003 and 2005, but did not bother to write about NEW MRAs started since.</b>
Colorado State (US) Board is no longer accepting Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) certificates.
<b>At-least untill recently ACCA was accepted to write Colorado CPA. ICAEW (to whom you are praising) was not even acceptable to ANY CPA board when ACCA WAS. Dear see at the following link, UKs ICAEW is also not included and accepted to Colorado Board.</b> https//nasbalicensingservices.nasbatools.com/display_page?id=190
MRA between ACCA and CGA (Canada) will be expired on 31 Dec 2011. <b>I hope CGA Canada will definitely refuse to renew this agreement.</b> As i have no clue. Future is uncertain.
<b>First, you did not write about new MRA established in 2007, hoping CGA definitely refuse to renew. Is this what you hope. Amazing eh. Could you please let us know how you can provide such assurance statements about future events which in your own words are uncertain. Now I would say too amazing eh. </b>
It is assessed as sufficient qualification for Migration purpose in Australia but Australian employers don't even know about ACCA. They do prefer local CPA and CA (ICAA). Theres no MRA of ACCA in Australian between Australian local bodies.
<b>In every country employers prefer local designations over foreign. Do you mean Australian employers prefer ICAEW over ICAA. Now I would say very amazing eh.</b>
I personally know ACCA affiliates of Pakistani origin in UK are working in Chicken Shops or Stores like Tesco/Bestway as a security guards. No firm wants to recruit South Asian they usually prefer fresh candidates (esp with British Passport) not affiliates. Pakistani Experience in UK is being counted as zero experience no matter you have 10 years of experience.
<b>Some people specially immigrants from all over the world (including South Asians and Pakistanis) work in blue collar jobs in almost every western country with almost all kind of professional and highest education including PhDs. No qualification has exception. It has more relevance with other personal attributes than with qualification. ACCA should not be accused for someone's lackings.</b>
I think it has never had any good image anywhere except Middle East.
UK/Ireland are good for Europeans.
<b>Thank God, at-least you accepted its good image somewhere.</b>
I think members of ICAEW can claim ACA as a globally recognized qualification and ICAEW is the member of Global Accounting Alliance.
It has MRA with following and members can enjoy membership of Reciprocal Bodies (subject to requirements by institutes).
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA)
<b>Sorry dear, there is NO MRA between AICPA and ICAEW. AICPA does not even accepts ICAEW members qualification to sit for CPA exams. However, ICAEW has opened the door for AICPA members to attract them for ICAEWs membership. Still, it is one sided provision.</b>
Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA)
Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA)
Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia (ICAA)
Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland (ICAI)
Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS)
Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants (JICPA)
New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants (NZICA)
South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA)
ACCA is competitor of ICAEW and list of above bodies.
Yes ACCA is globally recognized in following countries. But think who would like to work in following countries as a Pakistani. I think Pakistan is far better market than following countries
Ghana ([Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ghana])
Botswana (Botswana Institute of Accountants);
Egypt (The Egyptian Society of Accountants & Auditors);
Ethiopia (The Ethiopian Professional Association of Accountants and Auditors);
Lesotho (Lesotho Institute of Accountants);
Malawi (The Society of Accountants in Malawi);
Mauritius (The National Equivalence Council of Mauritius);
Nigeria (Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria);
Sierra Leone (Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sierra Leone);
Swaziland (Swaziland Institute of Accountants);
Zambia (Zambia Institute of Chartered Accountants);
Tanzania (National Board of Accountants and Auditors).
As far as Value of ACCA in Pakistan is concerned, i think every body knows about it very well.
