ACCA vs CA

[Toronto_Boy]

Hi

Your Q1 is kind of interesting so perhaps my reply could satisfy your query. There could be 2 types of foreign countries like one which don't have their own major accounting qualifications such as Middle Eastern countries. The other type of countries are those western countries which have their own major accounting qualifications such as Canada or Australia etc.

Now, as you know ACCA, CIMA, ICAEW have their direct MRAs with qualifications of such western countries, qualified members of ACCA etc. from Pakistan may get membership of these targeted foreign association from Pakistan. This way their chances of employability, mobility, earning potential, immigration, ease in transition, and settlement increase much more in such western countries.

Pakistani members of ACCA/CIMA/ICAEW are also required in gulf countries' job market.

They are also eligible for jobs in Pakistan.

So, foreign qualifications available in Pakistan provide them access to jobs in Pakistan as well as in foreign countries and make transition/ life easy.

As far as competition for job is concerned, it depends on luck, skills, and hardwork.

I hope it helps.

Regards

Note I have never been a student of ACCA, CIMA, or ICAEW.
