You're right that one cannot get an exemption for CFA papers based on any professional qualification. In theory, one should only do 'one' professional qualification that is relevant to their chosen career. However, if someone want a career switch, then they may do another professional qualification. In my opinion, there isn't a point in doing more than one accountancy qualification. If someone is looking for another qualification, say after CA, they may consider CFA because firstly there is some overlap in the sense that a significant portion of CFA syllabus covers Financial Statement Analysis. Secondly, CFA also has other subject areas which to some one interested in a finance career may prefer to study.
