Dear tjssahabji,
This is really a difficult job to count 50 differences between FCA and CFA. Broadly speaking FCA stands for Fellow Chartered Accountant, is a hard core accounting designation which a Chartered Accountant earns once he/she meets certain requirements of the institute, whereas CFA stands for Chartered Financial Analyst, which is a hard core finance designation. People, who wants to specialize in financial analysis and forecasting go for CFA. Mainly, mortgage, banking, investment trust, stock brokerage, insurance, REIT etc companies need a CFA, whereas every business organization may need a Chartered Accountant. So the CA is a generally accepted designation whereas CFA is a specialized designation.
Regards
