Engineering is more difficult than accounts and finance, in terms of core technical knowledge. In real world application, in Malaysia, ACCA is harder because of all the fraudulent account books that needs "creative accounting" to solve and audit. But internationally, engineering is still tougher.

Engineering in Malaysia? Not even real engineering. Majority "engineering" jobs are salesman, project facilitator, site supervisor, technician or paperwork documenter. Like many have mentioned, BEM stuff, Ir, PEPC or what fancy titles given are to simply justify BEM's existence. Sure we've got Washington Accord and all that but at an international level, how well is "Ir" or "PEPC" recognised, if the holder is some work inspector, salesman, maintenance man, project coordinator, construction site foreign worker handler, paperwork technician etc. In Malaysia, it's all glamour and high society because the Ir and PEPC holder has an edge to deal with authorities to approve flimsy projects.

ACCA is recognized internationally. Just that in Malaysia it is over supplied with subpar graduates passing at the bare minimum and shamelessly put it up to beautify a resume.
