Hi
I m planning to do CA but some of my relatives suggested me to do ACCA first as it is easy one and it can be done in 4 years and after doing this I could go for CA as I will then only have to give Final papers!! this means that I will have two Certificates in 5 years but if i do CA then I will have to do Article ship and will have work Experience too but will only have one certificate in 5 years !! What should I do ?? Confused !!

It would be better that you complete ACCA before going for CA because of the following reasons:
1) Even if you were unable to complete CA you would still have the ACCA Qualification.
2) ACCA students are required to undergo 3 years mandatory training, the 3 yrs could be spent on the audit firm and you can register yourself as a CA student that will save time (Students entering the CA profession via ACCA are required to complete 3 Years training as per ICAP).
3) Most of the subjects of ACCA are similar to CA Final Subjects, hence your ACCA qualification will help you in your studies for CA.

this is what i read.
