Many young professionals in India face the difficulty of choosing between ACCA and CA while choosing the path of becoming a chartered accountant. ACCA and CA have an almost identical course layout with almost the same number of subjects, but there are a number of differences, for example; there is no grouping of subjects in ACCA as there is in CA. So unlike CA, if you do not pass a subject in ACCA, you have to rewrite only that particular subject and not every subject in that particular group.
Multinational companies who are handling the work of overseas clients or companies outside India prefer ACCA whereas, Indian Companies prefer CA’s as they are aware of Indian Laws and related terms.
