Well it’s for sure not the CPA lol

I don’t even know what the ACCA and CA are, honestly. And I have spent my entire career career in tax.

But I have taken and passed the CPA exam though and can tell you that it’s not friendly

like

CA is a non-US CPA

CPA. It’s 4 exams - hardest part is passing them all in the short window it gives before you lose credit and have to resit. You learn how to pass/answer questions not the material. CA / ACCA are 15 exams and yes whilst open book require actual comprehension of material to answer the primarily essay questions which require citation of accounting standards / tax rules and processes/journal entries to score high marks.

Eek! Some of them were in England when I took them. Not that it helps that much cos there is so much to do in so little time. so unless you know exactly where the info is you don’t have time to waste searching.

There is no point in searching for the easiest. Each exam is for a different jurisdiction. You cannot do much with CA or ACCA in the US and in the same way cannot do much with US CPA outside the US.

CA is the hardest from what I’ve read about.

They all require considerable effort to be honest. Depends what you mean by ‘easy’.

If you have the time to study, the CPA exam is not hard. It gets tough when you’ve started working and now also need to study before/during/after work

For the junior associates out there, I’m a 2020 call and am convinced that I’m taking a lot of time while working on deals.

I understand that some of it supports infrastructure costs and some goes directly towards accommodations and food, but even considering this, the prices are ridiculous.
