Does anyone know if the ACCA is recognised by the AICPA?
I'm 26 and a Chartered Certified Accountant (ACCA) with a BSc (Hons) degree in Applied Accounting. I'd like to move to Florida with my wife and one year old. I'm pretty sure I'd need to become a US CPA but I don't know if the ACCA or my degree is recognised over there?

Answer 1 :
ACCA is a member of IFAC and so is the AICPA. All IFAC member bodies recognise each other. You will only need to pass the AICPA exams if you wish to practice as a public accountant. If you work in the industry or even in an accountancy firm as an employed accountant you do not need to pass the AICPA exams. Passing the AICPA exams will however increase your employability in the U.S. as they are the most well-known body over there.
