mmmm....

i mean no harm but google is in existence...

at least you can start with ACCA and ICAI websites... go through their exams structure... then compare like to like... sounds loads of work for a start but if that what it takes to make a decision for your life... then do it...

now little help... http://www.accaglobal.com/students and http://www.icai.ie/students/students.cfm ...

ACCA gives more freedom as to where you do it - either industry or practice. 14 exams in total. You need 3 years work experience to fully qualify.

ACA you have to do it in practice (with the exception of AIB I think). 3 years of exams, 4 each year. You have to sign either a 3, 3&1/2 or a 4 year contract depending on your situation and you have to see this out with the firm you sign on with. You'll be fully qualify once you've passed your exams and your contract is finished.

If you've anymore specific questions give either myself(ACA) or Kluivert(ACCA) a shout.
