I work in finance field in a university and want to further study . I have been thinking to do ACCA but I have come to know that for public sector CIPFA is better as per their preference. I know that for fact that ACCA are more globally recognized but I see my self in future only working for public sector. What is your point of view?Which is more useful ? Is CIPFA equally good? Thanks

I think what you are asking is 'Is the CIPFA qualification valid and recognised in private industry and commerce'.
It depends what you want to do. If you expect to remain in a purely finance / accounting role then it probably would prevent progress eventually. But there's an awful lot of opportunities in the public sector - perhaps 30% of such jobs in the UK. And the financial principles are common to both, in terms of private sector jobs in business analysis and project management, say.
