Can ACCA qualified person do practice Like CA?

ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) and CA (Chartered Accountant) are both professional qualifications in the field of accounting and finance. While there are similarities between the two qualifications, there are also some key differences in terms of the regulatory framework and the specific rights and privileges associated with each qualification.

In general, the practice rights of an ACCA qualified person may vary depending on the jurisdiction and the specific regulations governing the profession in that particular country. ACCA is an internationally recognized qualification, and in many countries, ACCA members are granted practice rights similar to those of local chartered accountants.

However, it's important to note that in some countries, such as India, the term "Chartered Accountant" is legally protected and can only be used by members of the local accounting body, which is the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). In such cases, ACCA qualified individuals may not be able to use the title "Chartered Accountant" or hold themselves out as such, unless they are also members of the local accounting body.

If you are an ACCA qualified person and are considering practicing in a specific country, it is important to research and understand the local regulations and requirements for practicing as an accountant in that jurisdiction. This may involve obtaining additional certifications, memberships, or licenses to comply with the local regulations.

It's always recommended to consult with the relevant professional accounting bodies and seek guidance from local authorities or legal professionals to ensure compliance with the specific regulations in the country where you intend to practice.
