AA's make great companions to BA's. We look for it at the school district I work in. If we have an admin assistant job opening and we get sixteen people applying with "BA in Business Administration" and one with "BA: Business Administration, AA: Accounting" that the person with with the AA: Account has the best chance of getting hired because he/she has an added trait of taking specific accounting classes on top of his buisness admin courses, especially if it's the payroll department that's hiring.

This is when transcripts should be reviewed. A BA in Business Administration will have all the same courses completed that a AA Accounting requires. Hence, the person probably completed the AA in Accounting and had it fully transferred to a 4 year college for a BA. But that person isn't any "more" educated or qualified than a person with just a BA in Business Administration

Edit: Out of curiosity I looked up the core requirements my local CC has for an AA in Accounting, seems about the same to what my transcript should resemble after completing my BSBA at TESC:

Financial Accounting
Managerial Accounting
Computerized Accounting Applications
Microcomputer Applications Using Spreadsheets
Intermediate Accounting
Accounting Information Systems
Federal Taxation
Introduction to Business
Principles of Management
Business Law I
Management Information Systems
Macroeconomics
Statistical Methods
