* Specific university: The quality and content of the accounting degree program must meet the professional body's standards. Not all accounting degrees are created equal.
* Specific professional body: Each accounting body (e.g., CPA, ACCA, CIMA) has its own requirements and accreditation processes. What one body accepts, another might not.
* Country: Exemption rules differ by country.
In short: A universal accounting degree doesn't automatically guarantee exemptions. You must check the specific requirements of the professional body you wish to join in your country. Their websites usually have detailed information on which university degrees qualify for exemptions, and to what extent (e.g., exemption from some exams but not others).
