<br />Well you see the point is the difference in the subjects between ACCA and CIMA as ACCA is Financial and Auditing side, CIMA is Finance and Management side which makes it an important part of the Management Team of an organisation.The Management side of CIMA is so strong that the Final Level of CIMA contains four subjects compromising of Management Accounting.
ITS NOT WHAT YOU STUDY , ITS HOW YOU STUDY IT.
<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"> CIMA is more commonly used in industry, ACCA in private practise, although not exclusively.Im qualified ACCA and work in practice (but originally worked in industry). ACCA is geared for practice and industry whereas CIMA is mainly aimed at Industry only as they do not issue Practicising Certificates. ACA (also known as ICAEW) is mainly practice orientated. ACCA allows you flexibility to work in both practice and industry as the qualification integrates the two - however a syllabus change is imminent in 2007 but the practice/industry focus will still be there.
CIMA is the preferred qualification with employers in industry/commerce. CIMA to award a practising certificate to members allowing them to work/'promote' themeselves as Chartered Management Accountnats, though its not an audit qualification. CIMA members working in practice tend to do so in financial and business management consultancy.
