Re: ACCA or CPA "each country"?
To confuse things more, in Canada three accounting professions have Merged and are now all CPA, though each designation for the new several years will be "CPA CA" , "CPA CGA" or "CPA CMA" - to distinguish - without question the CA qualification was significantly more difficult to get than the CGA

Re: ACCA or CPA "each country"?
Personally, I would go with the ACA, though admittedly I am biased because it's what I studied all those years ago.
I am sure the ACCA is just as good in reality, but I think ACA is seen as the benchmark standard as is certainly the most common in the big firms.
Of course, if you do decide on the ACCA I am sure you will do just as well.
Like everybody else on here says, in reality all firms want to see is that you are qualified and hopefully did well in your exams. After that, it's all about the quality of your experience.
