Open Question: US CPA degree vs UK ACCA qualification? ?

5 January 2009, 6:41 pm

I plan to start studying for the CPA (Certified Public Accountant) degree in the US (I'm a US citizen). However, my husband and I have decided to move back to England (we were stationed there when he was in the air force). I have a few queries, which i hope you can help me with: Is the ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) qualification the equivalent to a CPA degree? If so, how do I go about starting? Are there any classes I can take in the mean time that will transfer to either or (in case our plans fall through)? I know I am not going to be qualified any time soon, so where are the best places for me to find a job to gain experience? I currently work at a CPA firm, but what about when we move to England? Do the employers in the UK sponsor students for obtaining the ACCA qualification? Last and probably most important, would need to obtain a student's visa or work visa, and how do I go about doing this? (My husband will work for his father's company which is based in Spain.) Thanks!... Read More »
