1. First of all, ACA and ACCA are biased towards auditing and accounting, while CIMA is biased towards registered management accounting. None of these three directions are needed. So if you want to take one of these three certificates, you need to decide according to your work direction.

2. Secondly, if you want to become ACCA, you must not only pass the 14 exam, but also have 3 years of relevant practical experience. And ACA * * * has 15.

The content of this exam is basically the same as that of ACCA chartered certified public accountant, but the difference is that in the final advanced stage, ACA pays more attention to case study, while ACCA pays more attention to theoretical research.

3. Another difference between ACA and ACCA is that ACA can only be tested if it is guaranteed by a local British employer, which means that we must find a job first and take the exam while working.

4. In Britain, ACA and ACCA are mutually certified. If people who have passed ACCA want to get ACA certification from ICAEW, they need five years of accounting experience after becoming ACCA, and they can only become ACA after passing an ICAEW professional experience exam.
