ICAI (Institute of Chartered Accountants of India) and ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) both are Chartered Accountancy body but there is huge difference between both. ICAI members allows to perform audit and other related function in India. While in case of ACCA, it is not recognized in India. ACCA gives global exposure but it has no value in India as compare to CA(ICAI). Unless you are working with Big4 or MNC. ACCA is mainly accepted in Gulf, European and Southeast Asian courtiers. So if you are planning to choose any one of them then you have to consider where you want to go. If you are planning to stay in India then CA is better then ACCA. For other countries, ACCA is better. Also, if you are Indian CA then you have to give only 5 papers. Since both have different geographical area you have to choose accordingly.
