ACCA/CA OR ACMA after M.com

[alishan]

Hello Guys!
I am presently doing my internship as a part of my M.com degree-I intend to do some professional degree after this degree.
I am currently favoring CA over ACCA and ACMA. I am exempted Foundation due to M.com -
I also can avail 5 exemptions in ACCA and 7 in ACMA.
Althought i can start a job, but i think its always needed to have some good degree to move higher in your career.
So please tell me if i should go ahead in CA as i want mainly to extend my career in Finance.
Please also guide me if i am allowed to start my articleship after completing Inter level although i can start Articleship right after registering with ICAP.
Should i move with CA or with ACCA.
One thing i have found on this forum is the lack of comparison between CA and ACCA on this forum as last topic was started 3 years ago and when somebody starts new topic comparing CA with ACCA now, he is simply given link to old post.
Waiting for a sincere response.

Well.
CA & ACCA cannot be compared in terms of market value in Pakistan

CA is the top high flying degree in PK market... ACCA also has good market repu now but there is still no comparison.

If you CAN complete CA, then go for out. Its the best accounting/finance qual(in terms of market value) in pak after CFA...

But you have to consider some things that you wont be paid much during articles. So you had to rely on ur family for the next 4/5 years.

Its upto you to decide, if you can complete CA, then do it otherwise ACCA is a very good option( Plz note that ACCA is not cake either, you HAVE to study to pass)
