Common questions
CA vs ACCA — answered
Which is better after 12th commerce — CA or ACCA?
Both are strong choices but for different goals. CA (ICAI) is the most respected qualification for Indian practice — Big 4, industry roles, and your own CA firm. ACCA is globally recognised in 180+ countries and preferred by MNCs and international employers. Many students do both since ICAI grants CA Inter exemptions for ACCA Applied Skills papers.
How long does CA take to complete?
CA typically takes 4–5 years after 12th: Foundation (6 months) → Intermediate (9 months articleship prerequisite) → Final (3-year articleship) → ICAI membership. The overall pass rate is around 10–15% at each level, making it highly competitive.
How long does ACCA take to complete?
ACCA takes 2–4 years depending on exemptions. The 13 papers are split into Applied Knowledge (3), Applied Skills (6), and Strategic Professional (4). The pass mark is 50% and exams are computer-based, available four times a year. CA Inter holders can get up to 9 paper exemptions.
Can I study CA and ACCA at the same time?
Yes, and many Indian students do. ACCA Applied Knowledge papers (BT, MA, FA) align closely with CA Foundation and Intermediate subjects. Completing ACCA first gives you up to 9 exemptions at CA Intermediate level. Finance Padhle covers both qualifications on one platform.
ACCA BT is live — MA, FA, and CA Foundation are being built next.
