Each state in USA has its own accountancy board, and so there is not a single answer to this credit evaluation process.
However, what is true everywhere is a bachelor's degree (4 years - 120 credits), of which 20% of courses have to be in accounting. This is the base. Some states (such as Illinois) then need a Master's degree in addition so that you get more accounting related courses.
My thought is that ACCA may provide you with exemptions from quite a few accounting-related courses which form part of the bachelor's and master's degree there. I do not believe there is any set amount of credits you get.
This is also the case because there is no recognition of CPA (US) in UK.. and so American does not give any automatic exemptions to non-US accountancy credentials.
The simplest example is that a CPA from USA only gets exemtions in Pakistan and UK on a very limited case-by-case basis.
