<br />Hey Zephyr
You have inquired about ICMAP to some dude , who himself is a DESERTER at Foundation Stage ! ! ! .
Had he gone through the Professional Stage ( I doubt somebody of his calibre would ever had ! ! !) he would have known " How undoudebtdly more rigourous and practical " the Professional Level Subjects are .
Merely leaving ICMAP's for an option of ACCA with papa's millions for a foreign soil( yeah yeah the same ACCA which is getting done by every Tom ,Dick ...........( oooooooops , no no not that one .. ) and Harry nowadays , doesn't give the License to anybody to talk disparaging about ICMAP .
HE ought to have attempted all the above subjects he mentoined and most probably then Mr.Zephyr ; you would have asked him ..Hola , na' , wat dya say mate ...........?
Instead of writing PAGES AFTER PAGES ( Boy.... This fella has sure got all the time of the universe ..... ) No Pun intended ..man )
ask him to go through the Syllabi of ICMAP to refresh his knowledge .

Shehzad in your zest to reply and critisize you have perhaps not given appropriate time to read through my post. But I guess that is understandable at your age, I mean the immaturity.
Just to set the record straight (or if you had read it with an open mind) I have never been a student of ICMAP Fondation stage, I have had friends who studied for ICMAP with us ICAP foundation stage ! I did sit for the ICMAP entrance test (the very first entrance test)and passed (top of the class), but decided not to go ahead with CMA and conentrate just on my ICAP foundation and ACCA and ofcourse M.com. Needless to say I have coached my CMA friends on IFRS and Auditing and have gone through the syllabi.
There is no need to get worked up on some one who has given you out facts and have said that it is his opinion and you need not agree with it.
We are not weighing which qualification is better off here, but how and why CMA and CA are preceived in the market. You can run around and shout at the top of your voice, but facts won't change just for that.
As far as how much time I spend on writing reams of reams pages on this forum is none of your business, what you may not realise is that I type with both my hands. I am sure you are all busy and mighty heading a major MNC.
Pray do spare some time with just a couple of lines in repsonse to this. (or better even have one your lowly paid CAs reply for you)
