I dont want to debate on ACCA vs ICAEW
But remember Actions speak louder than words.
Actions of ICAEW are quite clear.
ICAEW has established good links with international bodies and institutions. Why i have never heard that any MRA between ICAEW and other body/institute is revoked.
Why does it happen with ACCA. ACCA portray itself as a Passport to border less world. But it is not really the same as ACCA advertises.
New MRA with third world countries like in Africa. One should better-off stay at home country rather than working in Africa. (no offense intended to any African country. My words are based on my personal perception of market difference between Pakistan and African countries)
I never said that ICAEW members are preferred over ICAA in Australia. But many employers know about ACA of ICAEW in Australia. ICAEW members can become CA of ICAA under MRA. Opportunities for ACCA in Australia are far less than members of ICAEW (as ICAEW can have ICAA membership through MRA).
Nobody knows about future of MRA between CGA and ACCA. It may be renewed. NZICA and HKICPA had revoked the agreement thus no one can guarantee future of MRA between CGA and ACCA. But the matter of fact is that ICAEW has opened more opportunities for their members than ACCA.
Yes i accept that in every country employers prefer local designations over foreign. This is exactly what i wanted to say. So in Pakistan employer will never prefer ACCA over local designation.
ICAEW members who want to work as accountants in the USA need to sit the CPA examination of the state board where they will work. See the link below. Yes you were right theres no MRA between ICAEW and CPA US.

I am not against ACCA qualification (neither i am pro ICAEW). ACCA shows that it is globally recognized. I have objection here. At-least ACCA should work more on establishing MRA with First World Countries (Whats happening is that bodies are terminating agreements. Thats disgusting)
Mr.Toronto_Boy i do appreciate your reply on my post. That was totally based on my own perception/research and it could be wrong.
