CA and ACCA fight again.
In Pakistan where ever you go you will find CAs are in more demand than any other accountancy qualification. Even part qualified CAs get good jobs. Out of Pakistan CA is well recognized in middle east but little in rest of the world unless you convert it in ACA England by appearing and passing two papers of ICAEW. It is normally bit difficult to pass CA exams specially final exams of CA. One need to work very hard in order to clear CA.
Now ACCA, In Pakistan ACCAs do get good jobs but level of these jobs is not that of CAs. Abroad ACCAs are in advantage over CA due to their global recognition. ACCA syllabus is also much advance but it is relatively easier to pass ACCA. This may also be due to very much defined syllabus and syllabus limited exams. Normally an average student get through ACCA.
Now decision is yours, best of luck
