<br />Hi Ahsan
True ICAEW is tough, some of us doing ACCA find ACCA finance papers difficult, imagine what ICAEW papers would be like.!!

I compared the Audit and Assurance paper of ICAEW with Paper P7 Advanced Audit and Assurance of ACCA. The difficulty level is same. Infact i found ICAEW paper easier than that of ACCA...mainly because ICAEW paper contains MCQs as well. ACCA paper is entirely based on application of knowledge. But, ofcourse its my view...others may have a different view as well.
The most interesting paper of ICAEW is its Case Study paper. Its a 4 hour paper with an hour of Reading and planning time...i read its specimen paper and found it very challenging....challenging but yet interesting... I haven't seen any such thing in ACCA.
As far as the topic of finance in ACCA n ICAEW is concerned...Paper P4"Advanced Financial management" of ACCA is way more difficult than paper "Financial management" of ICAEW; infact ICAEW provides exemption of "Financial management" to those who have passed paper F9 of ACCA. this is because the scope of syllabus of paper F9 is similar to that of Financial management of ICAEW. There is one other paper in ICAEW on the topic of Finance, "Business and Finance" and it is exempted by Paper F1 of ACCA.....on the other hand the scope of the syllabus of P4 of ACCA is very wide...Paper P4 of ACCA is comparable to that of Module F paper of ICAP "Business Finance Decisions"....but not with any paper of ICAEW.
