Additional professional qualification with CA

I would like to ask the experts out there, what would be the best additional professional qualification along with Chartered Accountancy. CPA or CFA or ACCA or IFRS?

I know it largely depends on where I would like to pursue my career, but I would like to know which qualification has the best carer prospects, pay and is more respected than the others.

I would also like to know in what other countries can I pursue my career, with that additional qualification, and the career prospects for me in India with the same.

I'm currently undergoing my articleship and do have alot of time, but I would like to decide soon and start working towards it rather than wait until the end of articleship and decide later, thus giving me ample time to prepare and nurture myself.

Thank you all in Advance

CFA is all about Finance only, CPA includes IFRS and its about Auditing, Accounting and Reporting as per Applicable Financial Reporting Framework, ACCA includes Cost accounting and Auditing. All these fields are specialised so u first identify your interest in any one field and go ahead.

Thank you for the advice sir, But the problem is, I have an interest for all the subjects in the profession rather than just for a couple few, thats why I would like to know which is more beneficiary in terms of Career prospects, Pay and Respect. I want to work in the industry rather than set up practice. So please advice me accordingly.

Thank you
