i am new at this forum but been referring to it for a long time.let me finish this discussion abot CA vs. ACCA.I am living in UK working for a CA firm.there is new news for all of you.ICAEW has recognised ACCA members to be equivalent to ICAEW.Those ACCA who have 5 years post qualification experience can apply for ICAEW membership but taking only the case study exam which apparently is based upon your experience during the last five years.You need a refenrece from an ICAEW member that you are a person of good professional standing and on passing case study, you are ICAEW.no need to worry about the authentcity of this,i asked it myself from ICAEW and this scheme is called as "freeway" scheme to ACCA.this scheme is also applicable to CIMA as per my friend but i didnt ask ICAEW about this so it needs clarification.
