Gundam Wing or anyone, hope can get your help here.

1) Is ACCA same as CPA Australia?
2) After getting ACCA, can get into MIA straight away? Or still need 3 years of working exp under a qualified accountant?

Me and my gf just recently graduate from Victoria University of Wellington. Already apply for accessment for CPA (in Jan) but haiz....until now only got their receipt of payment. They are damn slack when doing works.
