What is the difference between ICAI and CPA?

المحاسب القانوني المعتمد هي شهادة تم تصميمها من قبل معهد المحاسبين القانونيين المعتمدين بالولايات المتحدة لإضفاء صفة الاعتماد المهني العالمي للعاملين بالمجال.
حيث يحظي من يحملونها باحترام المجتمع المحاسبي ويحصلون علي الفرصة الكاملة للتأهل للوظائف القيادية في مجالهم، كما أنها تضفي الصفة المهنية علي ممارساتهم في هذا المجال .

Basically there are three main practice options.
ICAI, ACCA and CPA.
there may be some other options but i will not mention them at this stage.
Both the ICAI and CPA are exclusivley Irish while the ACCA is a global "brand" with an office in Dublin.
As the ICAI and CPA are exclusivley Irish they offer a better service to Irish students.
With ACCA you get your annual subscription in sterling and there are some matters that the dublin office cant deal with and you are then reffered to Glasgow which can be tedious.
In terms of the qualification been recognised there definatley is a perception in the marketplace that the CPA qualification is at the bottom of the scale.
Even though in my opinion any CPA accountant i know is as good as any other and a lot depends on the person rather than the qualification.
while studying for the ACCA i looked at the CPA exams and they did appear a lot easier.

In USA there in no Chartered designation for accountants, they call it Public Accountant.
In the most part of the world Chartered term is used such as ICAEW, ICAI, ICAP, CICA etc.
Entry and exam requirements are different for each of those qualification but they all study almost same subjects with same depth.
Internship/Article-ship period is also different.
