    Apart from the time limit of 18 months and minimum mark of 75. Is CPA harder than ACCA? In terms of exam questions and the syllabus content?

    It’s too different to make meaningful comparison – CPA is only 4 exams – ACCA is up to 14, depending on exemptions (with no exemptions available at the strategic level).
    Generally someone with CPA qualification may be exempt the skills exams excluding FR (F7) – because CPA is not IFRS-based – so would have to take FR (F7) and all the strategic level exams to be ACCA qualified.
    Generally, AICPA does not recognise ACCA for any exemptions from CPA exams – after all, there are only 4, and they are US-centric.
