Why I Chose to Study CIMA & not ACCA or ICAEW - Chartered Management Accountant! 📕

I would like to enroll in CIMA studies, but i am not sure if my current job as an auditor is good or suitable for my development before I became a management accountant in the future? If possible I would like to have a job that will benefit me when I have finished my cima studies and proceeds to work as management accountant.

A good video. The best thing about CIMA is it doesn’t require a degree that is related to business, accounting, finance and economics but definitely a person needs to have the understanding of these 4.

Most medium sized companies do not have both ACCA and CIMA, usually they have an ACCA or ACA that produce the management and statutory accounts. They also fulfil the role of management accountant when required.

How did you find studying for CIMA was it particularly hard?

[@peterthoo3697]

OPINION & COMMENT ONLY... 😁 1. CIMA passed with 3 years experience - 3 titles ACMA, CGMA, CA(M)..... ACCA passed - 2 titles ACCA & CA(M) 2.Both recognised by MIA as CA chartered accountant and both recognised as a degree equivalent by public services dept jpa msia.... Cima can apply for CPA australia title with one assignment 3.ACCA after your degree in finance 4 exam papers? ..... CIMA is 2 exam papers(case study) plus quizz questions 4.1 ACCA Is more for compliance requirements ie. Tax, audit, corporate reporting...... CIMA can do the same but focus more on industry requirements..... Accounting, finance, business, strategic management, project mgt and management accounting..... CIMA can apply for audit license in msia 4.2 more than 80% accountants work in industry not accounting firms or consultancy..... So CIMA makes sense? CIMA for accounting, finance & business - Planning, Control & Decision Making for business organisations 5. CIMA works closely with CPA america to provide the CGMA Title.... Chartered global mgt accountants 6.CIMA 2 EXAMS only.... Fast track to complete your exams to be a chartered accountant

Hii ...thanks for the video. I am looking forward to study in UK with goal of completing CIMA. I have some partner universities in CIMA website which gives 11 exemptions. But the universities mentioned in their site was quite low ranked in UK. Do university ranking matters in job searching? Do I choose these partner university irrespective of their ranking? What is your view on CGMA finance leadership program?

[@CRAIGO10]

You may find employers verging towards the higher ranked universities, but it isn't the be all or end all. Remember your end goal, and if it is to be a CGMA then do not let the university ranking affect your decision too much. CIMA FLP seems like a great idea, however note it isn't available in the UK.

Sir I am working at Accenture bpo department in India am 38 years old and keen to move to Accenture's own internal finance department .will cima qualification improve the chances for me to get into core accounting finance department ( where possibly ifrs may be adopted for financial statements) ?

[@CRAIGO10]

I suspect it will. It certainly wouldn't do any harm. But before comitting to that, I would try to speak internally to some managers in the finance department & then take it from there.

[@anirudhhattangadi3534]

Sir actually does Acca have audit rights in UK? I am wondering because audit rights is mainly vested to icaew members I suspect. Acca however gives one good knowledge in ifrs, cost accounting financial management etc( to a some extent overlaps with cima)and it does help one hold top management positions in large companies in UK and worldwide , so as cima but certifying audited financial statements and tax audit generally ACA is very much preferred I suspect so.Is that correct? CFO of large mncs can be full fledged members of any of these institutions( Icaew, icas icai, acca, cima , aicpa) or MBA finance from top business schools with several years of relevant post qualification work experience with leadership skills and knowledge but as far as certifying the audited financial statements and tax audit is concerned only ACA in UK and commonwealth countries and cpa licensed in USA can do.Is this statement correct sir?

[@tutifruti9819]

it would be difficult. I study also CIMA but have been looking at ACCA these days. I think CIMA is more internally oriented but ACCA is more practical around applicable skills and legal financial requirements a company needs to fulfil. I personally find CIMA to a bit more repetitive (being in Management Level of CIMA- professional level 2, next is the last one). Practice mostly require ACCA because you work with small companies and ACCA has a couple modules on business tax, personal tax, etc etc which is more relevant.
