You have two main options
Option one
Complete your B.com and then go for ACCA
Two years to complete B.com plus 2.5 years to complete ACCA
TOTAL duration (option 1)â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦4.5 years
Option two
Complete CAT and then go for ACCA (claim exemption for part one of ACCA on the base of CAT)
1.5 years to complete CAT plus 2 years to complete ACCA
TOTAL duration (option 2)â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦3.5 years
I would recommend you to go through CAT route because on the base of CAT you will be exempted whole of part one in ACCA as well as one year of time saving.

Never seek advice from a Chartered Accountant. They are trained to find problems not solutions.

Thanks ali4u3
More than half of CAT is computer based too (examinations).. By the way, CIMA and ACCA are 'conceptually' different. ACCA is based on 'financial audit' while CIMA is 'managerial accounting'. Although, both have a diverse syllabus and cover almost all aspects, but then again, as you move towards their final stages, you realize their examinations are based on the 'core' aspect of the designation (ACCA or CIMA).
