Listen dear;
I don't know from where u listen that ICMA qualified r not more than
MBA. Have u ever met any CMA qualified??? No. That's why u have wrote like it. It is the 2nd most recognized and well accepted accountancy profession after C.A. in Pakistan as well as it has a very good market world wide especially in middle east. Moreover, recently Its UK counterpart degree CIMA have recently given 11 exemptions out of 14 papers to ACMA qualified.
The thing is CMA qualified does not have formal training like C.A in Pakistan. But when they get into market, they get middle management positions and after getting experience Top management positions are for them. NO MBA can get top management positions as early as CMAs.
Dude! its a professional degree; study almost all professional subjects C.A students study. ICMA also has very strict criteria like in C.A. MBA get accountancy knowledge (Tution)from ACMAs/CAs.
So far as Specialization is concerned ICMAs emphasis is on COST & Management Accountancy profession whereas C.A specialization is on Audit & General Accounts. Despite this, C.As and ACMAs both r rendering their services in General Accounts as well as in Management Accounting; some ACMAs r also in Internal Audit positions as well.
What an MBA knows? Does he study IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards), ISAs (International Standards on Auditing).
Even if any university giving knowledge to them, then too its basic knowledge n can never ever compete any accountancy body exam standard & criteria.
Hope i have cleared ur question.
