ACCA vs CA

[wrathofheaven1]

The main problem with this argument is that people tend to compare ACCA Affiliates with full CAs (ICAP members with 3/4 yrs of articleship). Whereas the fair comparison would be between an ACCA member with complete 3 years of training and a Full CA.

Now after that, one simply cannot tell which one is better because of the difference between the quality of experience each of them has gained. One of them might have worked in one of the Big 4, while the other in a small firm.

But even then, the competence, ability and intelligence of each of them possesses is based on their own effort and hard work they have put into their qualifications. That is what ultimately decides what kind of job he will get. Their market value is decided on these factors since the employer is not concerned with our qualification but our ability to deliver what he requires from us.

ACCA & CA are simply two platforms which allow us to gain the knowledge and experience we require to boost our careers and its up to an individual on how he chooses to uses them.

So just by saying that CA's are more intelligent than ACCA or vice versa and any other similar argument is just plain stupid for this topic.
