CA is a british term (O: and only found in BRITISH STYLE education.
if you want to be CA then have to go to INDIA or UK

in us. after your SB/BA you can give CPA et. al.. the equivalent functioning of CA.

Hey,
You can do CPA in US. CPA is equivalent of CA in US.
However, rules are little different here. Every state has its requirements for CPA.
you can find details in aicpa website. www.aicpa.org
Over all all the states now require you have 150 Cr. Hours in Accounting and some work experience depending on state. You take the CPA exam which is in 4 parts
1. Auditing (AUD), 2. Business Economics Concepts (BEC), 3. Financial (FAR) and 4. Regulation (REG). After you pass all 4 parts. you need to take Ethics exam. then you became a CPA.... aka more $$$$

you cannot do CA in USA.

I am currently studying ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountant) in the US. There are three exam centers : Dallas, Washington DC and New York. Except in NY, you have to pay invigilator fee to sit in the exam center in addition to your ACCA exam fees.Fee varies according to the volume of students. There are around 150 students who always give ACCA exam from US and 3000 ACCA members who are working in the American Corporate world. ACCA has an office in NY with three full time employees. Patricia Lomoage is the Head of the ACCA US. Her email is patricia.lomoage@accaglobal.com. You can ask any question/concern to her.

ACCA is the largest accounting body with more than 300,000 members and 150,000 students around the world . So don't undermine the value of it. In the US, there are so many opportunities for an accountant .

So, my answer is; yes, you can study your ACCA in the US.
If you need any help, shot me an email.

On a different note, if you are interested in finance, CFA is also a good option. However, this is for those who have done bachelors I guess. So, if you think this is a good option for you, do bachelors and give CFA exams too.

I am thinking of taking CFA exams myself...

Bibas ji,

Thanks for the suggestion, but ACCA and CPA are two different professions than CFA. ACCAs and CPAs are always eager to become a CFA , but none of the CFAs want to become CPA or ACCA.That's the difference, I guess. Lets say Accounting Vs. Finance.
