hello boby,

ICAI conducts the CA exams list in India consists of 3 names – CA Foundation, IPCC and CA Final. Candidates need to clear the entire CA exam list in order to become a professional in this field.

A chartered accountant (CA) is an international accounting designation granted to accounting professionals in many countries around the world, aside from the United States. In the United States, the equivalent to the CA designation is a certified public accountant (CPA).

The passing percentage of CA lies between 4-5% whereas ACCA is 40-50%, which makes the Chartered Accountants more demandable compared to ACCA .

Now to answer your question easy or tough depends on the person preparation and hardwork for the exam. No exam is tough if we have prepared well. So i will suggest you to focus on preparation rather comparing. Hope you will get my point.

Hi Aspirant,

Considering the duration, the number of papers, course levels and flexibility of both the courses, it is of no surprise that the CA( Chartered Accountancy ) course is usually considered to be tougher than ACCA (Association of Certified Chartered Accountant ). But, this is completely a subjective topic and the results may vary in your case.

According to the data collected through a survey in 2018, the passing percentage of ACCA was over four times than that of CA. 40 per cent of the total students managed to pass ACCA, whereas only 9.09 per cent could pass CA. Due to this humongous difference in the percentage, CA is generally considered to be harder to pass than ACCA.

One of the reasons why ACCA is slightly easier to tackle than CA is its flexibility in terms of exams and articleship. In CA, subjects are grouped together. So, if you fail to pass a subject in that group, you will have to rewrite all the subjects in that group again. In ACCA, on the other hand, this is not the case. If you fail an exam, you will have to rewrite that particular subject only. Students are also free to attempt exams in ACCA as per their convenience.

So looking towards previous results, exam pattern, syllabus International CA ( ACCA ) is easy and CA is tougher.

Hope it helps you.
