    I would really appreciate for guidance on which optional papers to give next. I am planning on giving AAA but cannot decide which other one to give. I do plan on pursuing ICAEW after I’m done with ACCA.

    See ACCA advice here https://www.accaglobal.com/gb/en/student/sa/study-skills/options-choices.html

    Also, for each option you will find an introduction to peruse https://www.accaglobal.com/gb/en/student/exam-support-resources/professional-exams-study-resources/p4/introduction.html

    If you still can’t decide why not try out a lecture and see which is potentially of most interest to you?

    It makes no sense to pursue ICAEW after ACCA since the qualifications are equivalent.

    Once you’re qualified I think employers are more interested in practical experience than “profile” – although acquiring relevant certificates etc is of course on way of obtaining CPD. For example here https://www.accaglobal.com/uk/en/employer/our-qualifications.html – the certificates in IFRS and audit wouldn’t be suitable because you should have covered all the material in those in the ACCA qualification – but the new Certificate in Data Analytics may be relevant to your your or career.

    Or see here – ACCA offers a routed to the CIA qualification.

    Or see here for a recognised tax qualification – https://www.att.org.uk/our-qualifications/att-qualification
