the best option for accounting is CA and if you want to join ACCA then i think you should join CAT because you can join ACCA part-2 after completion of CAT and CAT is not too much time consuming. you can do this from 6 to 9 months. and after completion of CAT, you can pass some ACCA part-2 papers easily. fro example 2.3 and 2.4. coz in CAT you already have to cover all of that in paper 9 which is optional and if you take optional paper 8 (audit) then you will find paper 2.6 and 3.1 very easy. as they are also audit and assurane.
