ACCA is a person who has passed all exams of the ACCA (Association of Certified Chartered Accountants UK) & has completed 3 years of practical relevant experience as well. ACCA means Associate Certified Chartered Accountant
In Pakistan ACA is a person who has passed all exams of the ICAP (Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan) & has completed the required years of experience (currently 3 years). There are other bodies abroad whose qualified people are called ACA for example ICAEW (Institute of Chartered Accountants of England & Wales)

Under the MoU between ICAP and ICAEW a number of firms have been authorized to train the students for ICAEW. The list of the authorized firms may be available at ICAP's website or can be confirmed from ICAP's offices.
I couldn't get your second question whether you want to say ICAEW HAS more demand than CA in Pakistan or ICAEW IS more DEMANDING than CA in PAkistan?
- best accountant in town - 09-02-2009
I mean which degree has more value in Pakistan CA(Pak) or ICAEW and also I would like to know that how can I do ICAEW after completing ACCA i.e; how much exemption will I get,lastly you've mentioned these firms, can I get the required experience from these firms being an ACCA and then decide i.e; after articles about choosing one of these two degrees I mean CA(Pak) or ICAEW
THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND REPLY

how long is the articleship supposed to be for acca?
- best accountant in town - 09-04-2009
No articles are required in ACCA only three years of work experience is required to be eligible for membership
