CFA entry requirement after ACCA? - Odyssee - 07-21-2009
exactly how many years of education is an ACCA Affiliate equivalent to so as to register in CFA?
Can one enrol in CFA after clearing the Fundamental level of ACCA?
Is it necessary for an ACCA Affiliate to get the BSc frm Oxford Brookes in order to register in CFA?

is ACCA equivalent to US Bachelor's for the purpose of enrollment in CFA Program?
- hanifasif - 07-23-2009
It may not be equivalent (technically), but it is one of the qualifications that is accepted for enrolling for American qualifications like CIA, CMA, CPA and CFA. The ACCA (affiliates or members) are also entitled to claim exemptions from Part 4 and Part 1 of CIA and CMA exams respectively.

Small correction...
ACCA exams/courses are not recognized to satisfy educational requirements to sit for CPA exams from any State Board of Accounting EXCEPT Colorado State. Even with Colorado, after passing all sections of CPA exam, a candidate needs to satisfy working experience under Licensed CPA, to apply for Colorado license. Moreover, Colorado is one tier State, means does not give even a certificate if all requirements are not satisfied.
Conclusion An ACCA can sit for CPA exam through Colorado, but could not get any thing (i.e. neither certificate nor license) if he/she does not satisfy experience requirements under US licensed CPA. Following hyperlink has all State Boards of Accounting listed and their specific educational, experience, all other requirements.
