Ans.
1. You only meet requirements for CPA if you have bachelors (in a few states) or masters in accounting, so ACCA does not qualify
2. Depends on what you mean by recognised. You can work in New York, but you won't be a CPA. It all depends on how much worth the company you work for places on ACCA
3. There are no exemptions from the CPA
4. You can do CMA, CFA......
